Stratigraphy of the Khuvsgul Group, Mongolia
Mongolian Geoscientist, 2021 The Khuvsgul Group (Khuvsgul Province, Mongolia) is a Late Neoproterozoic to Cambrian carbonate-dominated succession that includes minor glacial diamictite and one of the largest known ore-grade phosphate deposits in the world.

GSA Bulletin, 2023 The transition from the terminal Ediacaran to early Cambrian (ca. 550−530 Ma) witnessed both the decline of Ediacaran-type soft-bodied and skeletal biota and the rapid diversification of Cambrian-type skeletal biota, which dominate the Terreneuvian (ca ...

Increase in metazoan ecosystem engineering prior to the Ediacaran–Cambrian boundary in the Nama Group, Namibia [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 The disappearance of the soft-bodied Ediacara biota at the Ediacaran–Cambrian boundary potentially represents the earliest mass extinction of complex life, although the precise driver(s) of this extinction remain unresolved.

Ediacaran–Cambrian bioturbation did not extensively oxygenate sediments in shallow marine ecosystems
Geobiology, 2023 The radiation of bioturbation during the Ediacaran–Cambrian transition has long been hypothesized to have oxygenated sediments, triggering an expansion of the habitable benthic zone and promoting increased infaunal tiering in early Paleozoic benthic ...

Mineralogy, petrography, geochemistry of magnetite ore and sulfide minerals and the possible model of mineralization at Anomaly#3, Gol-e-Gohar, iron mine, Sirjan, Kerman [PDF]
پترولوژی, 2019 The Gol-e-Gohar anomaly#3 of Sirjan was initially formed by synchronous submarine basaltic volcanism and sedimentary rocks (basalt, shale, carbonates, sandstone, marl, chert-iron hydroxide-oxides) during Neoproterozoic (Ediacaran) and subsequently ...

Relating Ediacaran Fronds [PDF]
Paleobiology, 2016 AbstractEdiacaran fronds are key components of terminal-Proterozoic ecosystems. They represent one of the most widespread and common body forms ranging across all major Ediacaran fossil localities and time slices postdating the Gaskiers glaciation, but uncertainty over their phylogenetic affinities has led to uncertainty over issues of homology and ...

Ediacaran developmental biology [PDF]
Biological Reviews, 2017 ABSTRACTRocks of the Ediacaran System (635–541 Ma) preserve fossil evidence of some of the earliest complex macroscopic organisms, many of which have been interpreted as animals. However, the unusual morphologies of some of these organisms have made it difficult to resolve their biological relationships to modern metazoan groups. Alternative competing

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2023 25 Early animals experienced multiple-phase radiations and extinctions from the late 26 Ediacaran to the Early Cambrian. Oxygen likely played an important role in these 27 evolutionary events, but detailed marine redox evolution during this period ...

Filamentous Connections between Ediacaran Fronds [PDF]
Current Biology, 2020 Fossils of the Ediacaran macrobiota (∼571-539 mya) record phylogenetically diverse marine palaeocommunities, including early animals, which pre-date the "Cambrian Explosion" [1-4]. Benthic forms with a frondose gross morphology, assigned to the morphogroups Rangeomorpha [5] and Frondomorpha (see also Arboreomorpha) [6-8], are among the most temporally ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 A combined magnetostratigraphy for the Rainstorm Member of the Ediacaran Johnnie Formation was constructed using the sediment accumulation rates determined by rock magnetic cyclostratigraphy for three localities of the Rainstorm Member to provide a high ...
