Neoproterozoic of Laurentia

2023
ABSTRACT Neoproterozoic to Cambrian isolation of Laurentia during the breakup of Rodinia was associated with multiple large igneous provinces, protracted multiphase rifting, and variable subsidence histories along different margin segments. In this contribution, we develop a paleogeographic model for the Neoproterozoic tectonic evolution

Neoproterozoic chemostratigraphy

Precambrian Research, 2010
Chemostratigraphy has diverse applications to investigating the rock record, such as reconstructing paleoenvironments, determining the tectonic setting of sedimentary basins, indirect dating, and establishing regional or global correlations. Chemostratigraphy is thus an integral component of many investigations of the ancient sedimentary record.

A Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth

Science, 1998
Negative carbon isotope anomalies in carbonate rocks bracketing Neoproterozoic glacial deposits in Namibia, combined with estimates of thermal subsidence history, suggest that biological productivity in the surface ocean collapsed for millions of years.

Climate of the Neoproterozoic

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2011
The Neoproterozoic is a time of transition between the ancient microbial world and the Phanerozoic, marked by a resumption of extreme carbon isotope fluctuations and glaciation after a billion-year absence. The carbon cycle disruptions are probably accompanied by changes in the stock of oxidants and connect to glaciations via changes in the ...

Oldest-known Neoproterozoic carbon isotope excursion: Earlier onset of Neoproterozoic carbon cycle volatility

Gondwana Research, 2021
Abstract The Neoproterozoic Era (1000–541 Ma) is characterized by the largest negative carbon isotope excursions in Earth history. Younger Neoproterozoic excursions are well-documented on multiple continental margins and associated with major events including snowball Earth glaciations, ocean-atmosphere oxygenation, and the evolution of animal ...

Learning to tell Neoproterozoic time

Precambrian Research, 2000
In 1989, the International Commission on Stratigraphy established a Working Group on the Terminal Proterozoic Period. Nine years of intensive, multidisciplinary research by scientists from some two dozen countries have markedly improved the framework for the correlation and calibration of latest Proterozoic events.

Neoproterozoic magmatism in eastern Himalayan terrane

Science Bulletin, 2017
Geochronological investigation on gneisses of granitic to leucogranitic compositions in Cuona, south Tibet, reveal that their protoliths formed at 808.8±7.9-816.4±3.4Ma and 855.8±7.0Ma, respectively. Zircon rims from the granitic gneiss record a metamorphic age of 739.4±4.3Ma.

Neoproterozoic-Cambrian microbialite record

The Paleontological Society Papers, 2004
Microbes and the sedimentary record of their activity, microbialites, have existed since the Archaean. During the Neoproterozoic-Cambrian interval, there is a marked shift in the fossil record of microbialites with the widespread proliferation of thrombolites (clotted microbialites) and the appearance and proliferation of dendrolites (microbialites ...

Neoproterozoic—Cambrian Biological Revolutions

The Paleontological Society Papers, 2004
The Neoproterozoic—Cambrian biological and geological events between 630 to 530 or so million years ago, are among the most fascinating topics in life history today because the first animals appeared and radiated amidst environmental changes of major magnitude.
