Lithochemical features of the rocks of the Hrushka Formation of the lower vend of the Podillya structural-facies zone

open access: yesМінеральні ресурси України
Silicate analyzes of siltstones, argillites, sandstones, gravelites, and conglomerates were used to examine the lithochemical features of the clastic rocks of the Hrushka Formation.

Heterogeneous Exhumation Mechanisms in Neoproterozoic Collisional Metamorphism: P–T Constraints From Pelotas and Punta del Este Terranes, Southern Brazil and Uruguay

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
Petrography, thermobarometry, and pseudosection modelling reveal peak metamorphic conditions of 3–7.5 kbar and 520°C–800°C in Tonian‐Cryogenian orthogneisses of the Dom Feliciano Belt. Metamorphic field gradients of 27°C/km–39°C/km and variable exhumation mechanisms support correlation of these units as remnants of a Himalayan‐type Piratini Orogeny ...

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.

Appraisal of Six Natural Mica Reference Materials for In Situ Rb‐Sr Geochronology

open access: yesGeostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.
Key Points Evaluated six natural mica reference materials for in situ LA‐ICP‐MS/MS Rb‐Sr geochronology using geochemical, microstructural and isotopic characterisation. Identified robust primary reference materials: Mount Dromedary biotite (99.37 Ma) and Mica‐Fe biotite (307.75 Ma). La Posta biotite and Högsbo muscovite are suitable secondary reference

The Unexpected Discovery of Paleocene? Coals in Outcrops Thought to Be Cambrian, Al Huqf, Oman

open access: yesJournal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Two brown organic deposits were encountered whilst investigating kaolinitic claystones thought to occur at the base of a Cambrian formation at outcrop. The age of these organic deposits is probably Paleocene from palynology. Organic petrography shows that they are subbituminous coals with some oil source potential.

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 ...

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.

On the coevolution of Ediacaran oceans and animals [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008
Fe speciation and S-isotope of pyrite data from the terminal Proterozoic Sheepbed Formation in Canada and Doushantuo Formation in China reveal that ocean deep waters were anoxic after the global glaciations (snowball Earth) ending 635 million years ago, but that marine sulfate concentrations and inferentially atmospheric oxygen levels were higher than ...
