Recycling of the Proterozoic crystalline basement in the Coastal Block (Moroccan Meseta): New insights for understanding the geodynamic evolution of the northern peri-Gondwanan realm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Detrital zircon age spectra from the siliciclastic rocks of the Lalla Mouchaa Calcschists and El Jadida Dolomitic formations (the Coastal Block of the Moroccan Meseta) are dominated by Paleoproterozoic and Ediacaran ages.

The developmental biology of Charnia and the eumetazoan affinity of the Ediacaran rangeomorphs

open access: yesScience Advances, 2021
Rangeomorphs represent a long-extinct group of eumetazoans with a bodyplan unlike anything alive today. Molecular timescales estimate that early animal lineages diverged tens of millions of years before their earliest unequivocal fossil evidence.

Dendrogramma, new Genus, with two new non- bilaterian species from the Marine Bathyal of Southeastern Australia (Animalia, Metazoa incertae sedis) – with similarities to some medusoids from the precambrian ediacara [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This study examines a new species of dinosaur named Dendrogramma, which has been found near Bass Strait. Abstract A new genus, Dendrogramma, with two new species of multicellular, non-bilaterian, mesogleal animals with some bilateral aspects, D ...

The trace fossil record of the Nama Group, Namibia: Exploring the terminal Ediacaran roots of the Cambrian explosion

open access: yes, 2021
The Ediacaran–Cambrian transition marks one of the most important geobiological revolutions in Earth History, including multiple waves of evolutionary radiation and successive episodes of apparent mass extinction.

Evidence for high-frequency oxygenation of Ediacaran shelf seafloor during early evolution of complex life

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2023
Increasing oxygenation of the early Ediacaran Ocean is thought to have been responsible for the emergence of early animals. Although geochemical studies have suggested periods of oceanic oxygenation in the Ediacaran, direct evidence for seafloor ...

Cryptic terrestrial fungus-like fossils of the early Ediacaran Period

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
The colonization of land by fungi had a significant impact on the terrestrial ecosystem and biogeochemical cycles on Earth surface systems. Although fungi may have diverged ~1500–900 million years ago (Ma) or even as early as 2400 Ma, it is uncertain ...

Paleontology and ichnology of the late Ediacaran Nasep–Huns transition (Nama Group, southern Namibia)

open access: yesJournal of Paleontology, 2022
. The Nasep and Huns members of the Urusis Formation (Nama Group), southern Namibia, preserve some of the most diverse trace-fossil assemblages known from the latest Ediacaran worldwide, including potentially the world's oldest “complex” vertical ...

Sedimentology and stratigraphic correlation of Vendian deposits in the southwestern Siberian Craton: Major contribution of an exocratonic clastic source to sedimentary systems

open access: yesЛитосфера, 2018
The study focuses on the sedimentation and stratigraphy of a large Vendian (Ediacaran) sedimentary basin in the southwestern Siberian craton, with implications for the origin of its units and subunits.

The role of volcanic-derived clays in the preservation of Ediacaran biota from the Itajaí Basin (ca. 563 Ma, Brazil)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The early evolution of metazoans has been reconstructed by studies on exceptionally preserved molds in siliciclastic rocks from the Ediacaran Period.
