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

open access: yes, 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.

The geology of the Capiru Group, Curitiba Terrane, Southern Ribeira Belt (Brazil)

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2021
The Capiru Group is a Neoproterozoic metasedimentary unit that crops out in the Curitiba terrane, Southern Ribeira Belt, Brazil. A detailed geological mapping of this unit was performed during 2016 to 2020. Original interpretations and the new geological

Sedimentology and stratigraphic correlation of Vendian deposits in the southwestern Siberian Craton: Major contribution of an exocratonic clastic source to sedimentary systems

open access: yesЛитосфера, 2018
The study focuses on the sedimentation and stratigraphy of a large Vendian (Ediacaran) sedimentary basin in the southwestern Siberian craton, with implications for the origin of its units and subunits.

Deconvolving the pre-Himalayan Indian margin – tales of crustal growth and destruction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The metamorphic core of the Himalaya is composed of Indian cratonic rocks with two distinct crustal affinities that are defined by radiogenic isotopic geochemistry and detrital zircon age spectra.

A Neoproterozoic Transition in the Marine Nitrogen Cycle [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2014
The Neoproterozoic (1000-542 million years ago, Mya) was characterized by profound global environmental and evolutionary changes, not least of which included a major rise in atmospheric oxygen concentrations [1, 2], extreme climatic fluctuations and global-scale glaciation [3], and the emergence of metazoan life in the oceans [4, 5].

Perspective of gold-bearing deposits in the ferruginous-siliceous formations of Egypt and Kursk Magnetic Anomaly

open access: yesRUDN Journal of Engineering Research, 2019
Banded ferruginous-siliceous formations (FSF) are confined to the Precambrian basement of the Arabian-Nubian Shield within the central part of the Eastern Desert of Egypt.

Variscan sourcing of Westphalian (Pennsylvanian) sandstones in the Canobie Coalfield, UK [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The zircon age spectrum in a sample from the Canonbie Bridge Sandstone Formation (Asturian) of southern Scotland contains two main peaks. One is Early Carboniferous in age (348– 318 Ma), and corresponds to the age of igneous activity during the ...

Metamorphic and metasomatic evolution of the Western Domain of the Karagwe-Ankole Belt (Central Africa) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The tectonometamorphic evolution of the Western Domain of the Karagwe-Ankole Belt, containing widespread granite-related W-Nb-Ta-Sn mineralization in pegmatites and hydrothermal quartz veins of Early Neoproterozoic age, is largely unknown.

Neoproterozoic copper cycling, and the rise of metazoans [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
AbstractThe rise of animal life is temporally related to the increased availability of oxygen in the hydrosphere and atmosphere during the Neoproterozoic. However, the earliest metazoans probably needed relatively low oxygen concentrations, suggesting additional environmental and/or biochemical developments were involved.
