U-Pb Sensitive High-Resolution Ion Microprobe Ages from the Doushantuo Formation in South China: Constraints on Late Neoproterozoic Glaciations [PDF]
Two distinctive volcanic ash beds were found in the terminal Proterozoic Doushantuo Formation in south China. The lower ash bed, ∼2.5 m above the cap carbonate at the base of the Doushantuo, yields a U-Pb zircon age of 621 ± 7 Ma, providing the closest ...

Abstract Metal stable isotopes (e.g., Zn, Cd, and Cu) have been used to track metal sources in different types of hydrothermal systems. However, metal isotopic variations in sulphides could be triggered by various factors such as mineral precipitation and fluid mixing.

Morphological disparity and evolutionary patterns of Cambrian hyoliths
Abstract Hyolitha represent one of the major constituents of the Cambrian Evolutionary Fauna, first appearing in the Terreneuvian and rapidly diversifying soon after. Recent work has both enriched the hyolith fossil record and expanded our understanding of their biology, but studies documenting the evolutionary trajectory of Cambrian hyoliths remain ...

Provenance evolution of age‐calibrated strata reveals when and how South China Block collided with Gondwana [PDF]
The South China Block (SCB) has been regarded by many as an integral part of Gondwana, but proposed timing and processes for its accretion to Gondwana vary and remain contentious, largely owing to the lack of reliable Pan‐African age paleomagnetic data ...

ABSTRACT The end‐Neoproterozoic transition marked a gradual but permanent shift between distinct configurations of Earth's biosphere. This interval witnessed the demise of the enigmatic Ediacaran Biota, ushering in the structured trophic webs and disparate animal body plans of Phanerozoic ecosystems.

The Neoproterozoic Ediacaran Kaijiang-Xuanhan paleo-uplift in the Sichuan Basin, Western China
The structural characteristics and formation evolution of the Sinian Kaijiang-Xuanhan paleo-uplift play a foundational role in the formation and evolution of the Sichuan Basin.

Of time and taphonomy: preservation in the Ediacaran [PDF]
The late Neoproterozoic witnessed a revolution in the history of life: the transition from a microbial world to the one we know today. The enigmatic organisms of the Ediacaran hold the key to understanding the early evolution of metazoans and their ...

Identification of fossil worm tubes from Phanerozoic hydrothermal vents and cold seeps [PDF]
One of the main limitations to understanding the evolutionary history of hydrothermal vent and cold seep communities is the identification of tube fossils from ancient deposits.

The uplift of the basement granite was crucial for the exsolution and enrichment of dissolved helium, and it was also the main reason for He–N2 coupling. The differential uplift that occurred in the Leshan–Longnvsi palaeo‐uplift during the Himalayan period further promoted the differential enrichment of He resources, thus also impacting the N2/He ratio
