Late Ediacaran Microfossils from Finland

open access: yes, 2021
Here we present a detailed accounting of organic microfossils from late Ediacaran sediments of Finland, from the island of Hailuoto (northwest Finnish coast), and the Saarijärvi meteorite impact structure (~170 km northeast of Hailuoto, mainland Finland).

Food sources for the Ediacara biota communities

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Complex macroscopic organisms are first found in the Ediacaran period, but their ecology during this time is not well understood. Here, Bobrovskiy et al.

Diversity of the Vendian fossils of Podillia (Western Ukraine)

open access: yesGeo&Bio, 2020
Diversity ofVendian fossil associations is a common feature. The diversity depends on many factors: firstly, physical conditions in the basin, in which animals lived (i.e.

Ediacaran metazoan fossil record from South America and its implications in the studies about origin and complexification of animal life [PDF]

open access: yesGeologia USP. Série Científica, 2013
The Ediacaran Period marks the first appearance of complex macroscopic organisms in the fossil record. Current evidence indicates that Ediacara biota is composed of animals, groups of extinct giant protists, algae and other organisms without proven ...

Paleomagnetic Constraints on the Separation of the Olongbuluke Block From the North China Block During the Late Cambrian–Middle Ordovician and Its Tectonic Significance

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract The collisional evolution of the micro‐blocks in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau is relatively well constrained. However, the reason why a fragment of the North China Block, the Olongbuluke Block, became separated from North China by the Central Qilian Block (a fragment of the South China Block) remains unclear.

Ediacaran survivors

open access: yes, 1992
Ediacaran taxa are a characteristic element of latest Precambrian biotas, with an effectively global distribution. Their time range is not well understood, but with one possible exception from western Canada Ediacaran faunas appear always to post-date ...

Arumberiamorph structure in modern microbial mats: implications for Ediacaran palaeobiology [PDF]

open access: yesBSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2017
In the course of studying modern halotolerant microbial mats in salterns near the village of Kervalet, western France, we observed fanning-out and curved series of macroscopic ridges on the surface of a newly formed biofilm.

Paleosecular Variation Constraints on Geomagnetic Field Morphology at ca. 1100 Ma

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Paleosecular variation provides a statistical test of long‐term geomagnetic field morphology, but its behavior across Precambrian polarity regimes remains poorly constrained. We compile a virtual geomagnetic pole dispersion data set spanning 1130–1070 Ma and apply nonlinear Model G fitting to evaluate field structure across the interval ...

Detrital provenance evolution of the Ediacaran-Silurian Nanhua foreland basin, South China

open access: yes, 2014
We report here in-situ U–Pb and Hf isotopic results of detrital zircons from sixteen Cambrian–Silurian siliciclastic samples across the Nanhua foreland basin, South China.

A putative triradial macrofossil from the Ediacaran Jiangchuan Biota

open access: yesiScience
Summary: The late Ediacaran Jiangchuan biota, from the Dengying Formation in eastern Yunnan, is well-known for its diverse macroalgal fossils, opening a window onto eukaryotic-dominated ecosystems from the late Neoproterozoic of South China.
