The occurrence of Dickinsonia in non-marine facies

open access: yesEstudios Geologicos, 2019
Dickinsonia in the central Urals occurs in a succession transitional from marginal marine to non-marine. Even within this sequence Dickinsonia appears to be restricted to the least marine facies interpreted as a coastal lagoon surrounded by tidal flats ...

Comment on “Bilaterian Burrows and Grazing Behavior at >585 Million Years Ago” [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Pecoits et al. (Reports, 29 June 2012, p. 1693) describe bilaterian trace fossils and assign them an Ediacaran age based on the age of a granite interpreted as intrusive.

New Facies Model and Carbon Isotope Stratigraphy for an Ediacaran Carbonate Platform From South America (Tamengo Formation—Corumbá Group, SW Brazil)

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The Ediacaran is a period characterized by the diversification of early animals and extensive neritic carbonate deposits. These deposits are still not well understood in terms of facies and carbon isotope composition (δ13C). In this study we focus on the

Ediacaran survivors [PDF]

open access: yesThe Paleontological Society Special Publications, 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 the late Precambrian glaciations.

Recurrent photic zone euxinia limited ocean oxygenation and animal evolution during the Ediacaran

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
The Ediacaran Period (~635–539 Ma) is marked by the emergence and diversification of complex metazoans linked to ocean redox changes, but the processes and mechanism of the redox evolution in the Ediacaran ocean are intensely debated. Here we use mercury

Metacommunity analyses show an increase in ecological specialisation throughout the Ediacaran period.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2022
The first animals appear during the late Ediacaran (572 to 541 Ma); an initial diversity increase was followed reduction in diversity, often interpreted as catastrophic mass extinction.

Ediacaran Araba Complex of Jordan [PDF]

open access: yesGeoArabia, 2015
ABSTRACTThe Ediacaran Araba Complex in Jordan is defined and described for the first time in lexicon style, with an emphasis on the sedimentary, volcanic and volcaniclastic units outcropping adjacent to Wadi Araba, and from seismic and deep exploration well data. The Araba Complex ranges in age from ca.

Early Cambrian U-Pb zircon age and Hf-isotope data from the Guasayán pluton, Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina: implications for the northwestern boundary of the Pampean arc [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
An Early Cambrian pluton, known as the Guasayán pluton, has been identified in the central area of Sierra de Guasayán, northwestern Argentina. A U?Pb zircon Concordia age of 533 ± 4 Ma was obtained by LA-MC-ICP-MS and represents the first report of ...

Disentangling palaeoecological and outcrop controls on MISS occurrence in c. 1 Ga fluvio‐lacustrine facies of the Diabaig Formation, Scotland

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The c. 1 Ga Diabaig Formation of north‐west Scotland preserves diverse lacustrine and fluvial facies and abundant microbial and non‐microbial surficial sedimentary features. 172.6 m of section was logged across seven localities to assess the distribution of microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) relative to lithofacies, substrate ...
