Biological feedbacks as cause and demise of the Neoproterozoic icehouse: astrobiological prospects for faster evolution and importance of cold conditions. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2007
Several severe glaciations occurred during the Neoproterozoic eon, and especially near its end in the Cryogenian period (630-850 Ma). While the glacial periods themselves were probably related to the continental positions being appropriate for glaciation,

Animal survival strategies in Neoproterozoic ice worlds

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, 2022
AbstractThe timing of the first appearance of animals is of crucial importance for understanding the evolution of life on Earth. Although the fossil record places the earliest metazoans at 572–602 Ma, molecular clock studies suggest a far earlier origination, as far back as ~850 Ma. The difference in these dates would place the rise of animal life into

The Fuchuan Ophiolite in South China: Evidence for Modern‐Style Plate Tectonics During Rodinia Breakup

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Subduction initiation processes, such as those evidenced in the Izu‐Bonin‐Mariana (IBM) forearc crust are a key feature of modern‐style plate tectonics.

MAGMATIC SOURCES OF THE EVOLVING CONTINENTAL TECTONOSPHERE IN INDIA: GENERATION OF ALKALINE IGNEOUS COMPLEXES WITH CARBONATITES IN THE SAMALPATTI (SOUTHERN INDIA) AND AMBA DONGAR (WESTERN INDIA) MASSIFS

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика
Neoproterozoic Samalpatti and Cretaceous-Paleogene Amba Dongar massifs are considered to evaluate the change of sources of carbonatite magmatism in evolving tectonosphere of India. The inherited character of Ba and Sr distribution components is traced in

Coesite Discovery in Eclogites Confirms UHP Metamorphism in the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome (SW Poland)

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 3, Page 200-225, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Eclogite lenses are exposed within the orthogneiss‐dominated core of the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome in the Sudetes, which forms the northeastern margin of the Bohemian Massif (Variscan Belt of Central Europe). The presence of coesite inclusions in garnet and omphacite confirms that these eclogites underwent ultrahigh‐pressure metamorphism.
