First High‐Precision U–Pb CA–ID–TIMS Age of the Chuanlinggou Formation, North China Craton: Implications for Global Correlations of Black Shales and the Statherian/Calymmian Boundary

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 18, 28 September 2024.
Abstract The Chuanlinggou Formation in the northern North China preserves the world's earliest multicellular eukaryote microfossils. Here we present a high‐precision zircon U–Pb CA–ID–TIMS age of 1,641.7 ± 1.2 Ma for a tuff layer within the black shales of the Chuanlinggou Formation.

Phytoplankton dynamics from the Cambrian Explosion to the onset of the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event: a review of Cambrian acritarch diversity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Most early Palaeozoic acritarchs are thought to represent a part of the marine phytoplankton and so constituted a significant element at the base of the marine trophic chain during the ‘Cambrian Explosion’ and the subsequent ‘Great Ordovician ...

THE SOUTHERN FRAGMENT OF THE SIBERIAN CRATON: “LANDSCAPE” HISTORY OVER TWO BILLION YEARS

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
In the state-of-the-art geology, concepts of evolution of interrelated geodynamic and biotic events throughout the history of the Earth have been developed (Fig. 1). Research results on sediments, bio-stratigraphy and geodynamics of the southern fragment

Strontium Isotopic Variations of Neoproterozoic Seawater: Implications for Crustal Evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
We report high precision Sr isotopic data on carbonates from the Neoproterozoic Shaler Group, Victoria Island, Northwest Territories, Canada. Lithostratigraphic correlations with the relatively well-dated Mackenzie Mountains Supergroup constrain Shaler ...

Island arc–back-arc basin evolution: implications for Late Riphean–Early Paleozoic geodynamic history of the Sayan–Baikal folded area

open access: yesRussian Geology and Geophysics, 2009
Abstract We suggest a more rigorous approach to paleogeodynamic reconstructions of the Sayan-Baikal folded area proceeding from update views of the origin and evolution of island arcs and back-arc basins. Modern island arcs and attendant back-arc basins form mainly by trench rollback caused by progressive subduction of negatively buoyant
