a new Pc-C boundary section [PDF]
The widespread, terminal Ediacaran Dengying Formation (~ 551–~ 542 Ma) of South China hosts one of the most prominent negative carbonate carbon isotope excursions in Earth's history and thus bears on the correlation of the Precambrian–Cambrian boundary ...

DETRITAL ZIRCONS FROM THE PRECAMBRIAN OF THE IGARKA UPLIFT (NORTHWESTERN SIBERIAN PLATFORM)
Herein we report the results of LA-ICP-MS dating of detrital zircons from eight stratigraphic levels of the Proterozoic section of the Igarka uplift (northwestern Siberian Platform).

Carbon release during continental rifting is thought to regulate atmospheric CO2 levels. Supercontinent dispersal‐induced extensional tectonics is similar during the Late Ediacaran and Jurassic, while they exhibit different increases in atmospheric CO2 ...

The geology and geochronology of Al Wahbah maar crater, Harrat Kishb, Saudi Arabia [PDF]
Al Wahbah is a large (∼2.2 km diameter, ∼250 m deep) maar crater in the Harrat Kishb volcanic field in western Saudi Arabia. It cuts Proterozoic basement rocks and two Quaternary basanite lava flows, and is rimmed with an eroded tuff ring of debris from ...

Guide to the geology of Bradgate Park and Swithland Wood, Charnwood Forest [PDF]
Charnwood Forest is one of the few parts of England where there are exposures of ‘basement’ rocks dating back to Precambrian time. Its locally rugged topography is caused by these highly resistant rocks protruding as craggy knolls through a surrounding ...

Power, competition, and the nature of history [PDF]
Historians have debated whether pathways and events from the past to the present are influenced largely by contingency, the dependence of outcomes on particular prior conditions, or whether there is long-term emergent directional change.

U-Pb geochronology of the El Jadida rhyolite and relation to possible Lower Cambrian recycling (Coastal block, Moroccan Meseta). [PDF]
The El Jadida (Mazagan) dome, whose existence was reported as early as 1934 by Yovanovitch and Freys, constitutes one of the first outcrops of the Moroccan Meseta where the Precambrian (PIII?)-Paleozoic (Lower Cambrian?) boundary was established (Gigout,

U-Pb geochronology and global context of the Charnian Supergroup, UK: constraints on the age of key Ediacaran fossil assemblages [PDF]
U-Pb (zircon) ages for key stratigraphic volcanic horizons within the ∼3200-m-thick Ediacaran-age Charnian Supergroup provide an improved age model for the included Avalonian assemblage macrofossils and, hence, temporal constraints essential for ...
