Uncovering the Neoproterozoic carbon cycle [PDF]

Nature, 2012
Interpretations of major climatic and biological events in Earth history are, in large part, derived from the stable carbon isotope records of carbonate rocks and sedimentary organic matter. Neoproterozoic carbonate records contain unusual and large negative isotopic anomalies within long periods (10-100 million years) characterized by δ(13)C in ...

Neoproterozoic Earth-life system

Precambrian Research, 2022
Abstract The Earth-life system witnessed dramatic changes over the Neoproterozoic (1000–541 Ma). It saw supercontinent reconfigurations from the breakup of Rodinia to the assembly of Gondwana; climatically, the deepest global freeze in Earth history; geochemically, some of the most extreme perturbations on record; and biologically, the prominent rise

The Neoproterozoic [PDF]

Current Biology, 2015
The Neoproterozoic era was arguably the most revolutionary in Earth history. Extending from 1000 to 541 million years ago, it stands at the intersection of the two great tracts of evolutionary time: on the one side, some three billion years of pervasively microbial 'Precambrian' life, and on the other the modern 'Phanerozoic' biosphere with its ...

Chemostratigraphy of Neoproterozoic carbonates: implications for 'blind dating' [PDF]

, 2001
The delta C-13(carb) and Sr-87/Sr-86 secular variations in Neoproteozoic seawater have been used for the purpose of 'isotope stratigraphy' but there are a number of problems that can preclude its routine use.

Early Neoproterozoic limestones from the Gwna Group, Anglesey [PDF]

, 1998
Limestone megaclasts up to hundreds of metres in size are present within the Gwna Group mélange, North Wales, UK. The mélange has been interpreted as part of a Peri-Gondwanan fore-arc accretionary complex although the age of deposition remains ...

Dynamics of the Neoproterozoic carbon cycle [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003
The existence of unusually large fluctuations in the Neoproterozoic (1,000–543 million years ago) carbon-isotopic record implies strong perturbations to the Earth's carbon cycle. To analyze these fluctuations, we examine records of both the isotopic content of carbonate carbon and the fractionation between carbonate and marine organic carbon ...

A secular increase in continental crust nitrogen during the Precambrian [PDF]

, 2017
Recent work indicates the presence of substantial geologic nitrogen reservoirs in the mantle and continental crust. Importantly, this geologic nitrogen has exchanged between the atmosphere and the solid Earth over time. Changes in atmospheric nitrogen (i.
