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

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract After assembly, supercontinents are shaped by internal rifting and peripheral subduction. However, the geodynamic relationship between these two processes and their respective contributions to supercontinent breakup remain poorly understood.

A putative triradial macrofossil from the Ediacaran Jiangchuan Biota
iScienceSummary: 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.

Cryptic Paleomagnetic Complexity in the Ediacaran Egersund Dikes
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract The Ediacaran Period (∼635–539 Ma) represents a critical interval in Earth's evolution, yet its paleomagnetic record remains complex and contentious. One of the few Ediacaran paleomagnetic results from Baltica considered robust is a pole from the ca.

Sedimentary provenance of siliciclastic rocks from the Lalla Mouchaa Calcschists Formation (Coastal Block, Western Rehamna): Evidence of denudation of ca. 2 Ga basement in the Moroccan Meseta. [PDF]
, 2018 Paleoproterozoic basement rocks (ca. 2Ga) are scarce along the European and North African Paleozoic mountain chains (Fig.1a). In Morocco, ca. 2.2-2Ga granitic rocks (Gasquet et al., 2008; Kouyaté et al., 2013) have been exclusively reported in the ...

Ediacara Obscura: Unveiling Hidden Magnetisations in the Fen Complex, Southern Norway
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Paleomagnetic directions found in Ediacaran (635–539 Ma) rocks are widely dispersed, which has led to conflicting hypotheses about tectonic regimes and geomagnetic field behavior during this period, and raised doubts about the fidelity of the paleomagnetic record.
