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 ...

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 ...

Enduring evolutionary embellishment of cloudinids in the Cambrian
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 The Ediacaran–Cambrian transition and the following Cambrian Explosion are among the most fundamental events in the evolutionary history of animals. Understanding these events is enhanced when phylogenetic linkages can be established among animal fossils

A crown-group cnidarian from the Ediacaran of Charnwood Forest, UK
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2022 Cnidarians are a disparate and ancient phylum, encompassing corals and jellyfish, and occupy both the pelagic and benthic realms. They have a rich fossil record from the Phanerozoic eon lending insight into the early history of the group but, although ...

Calibrating the temporal and spatial dynamics of the Ediacaran - Cambrian radiation of animals
Earth-Science Reviews, 2021 The Ediacaran-Cambrian transition, which incorporates the radiation of animals, lacks a robust global temporal and spatial framework, resulting in major uncertainty in the evolutionary dynamics of this critical radiation and its relationship to changes ...

Affinity of Ediacaran skeletal fauna and their environmental context [PDF]
, 2022 The Ediacaran-Cambrian boundary (~541 million years ago (Ma)) signifies the start of the ‘Cambrian Explosion’ of animals, and by 520 Ma most major phyla had emerged.
