A normalised seawater strontium isotope curve: possible implications for Neoproterozoic-Cambrian weathering rates and the further oxygenation of the Earth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The strontium isotope composition of seawater is strongly influenced on geological time scales by changes in the rates of continental weathering relative to ocean crust alteration.

Controls on Cyclic Formation of Quaternary Early Diagenetic Dolomite [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The origin of sedimentary dolomite and the factors that control its formation within the geological record remain speculative. In most models, dolomite formation is linked to evaporative conditions, high water temperature, increasing Mg/Ca ratio ...

Geochronology and Lu-Hf isotope of mafic-intermediate rocks from SW Salmas: implication for Neoproterozoic juvenile melts [PDF]

open access: yesپترولوژی, 2018
The southwest Salmas metamorphosed mafic-intermediate intrusive rocks are located in Sanandaj-Sirjan zone in NW of Iran. The metamorphosed intrusives rocks comprise metagabbro and metadiorite that intruded the Precambrian metamorphosed volcanic ...

Exploring the Gravimetric and Geochronological Links in Ancient Terranes of the São Francisco Craton and Borborema Province, NE‐Brazil

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deep crustal fragments and structural lineaments identified through satellite gravity data provide evidence for the extension of the reworked ancient basement of the Central African Block into the northern São Francisco Craton and southern Borborema Province.

Asymmetric continental deformation during South Atlantic rifting along southern Brazil and Namibia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Plate restoration of South America and Africa to their pre-breakup position faces the problem of gaps and overlaps between the continents, an issue commonly solved with implementing intra-plate deformation zones within South America.

The Anicuns-Itaberaí volcano-sedimentary sequence, Goiás Magmatic Arc: new geochemical and Nd-S isotopic data [PDF]

open access: yesGeochimica Brasiliensis, 2017
The Neoproterozoic Anicuns-Itaberaí volcano-sedimentary sequence exposed in the surroundings of Anicuns, western Goiás, comprises a complex association of igneous and supracrustal rocks, which has been divided into: (i) the Córrego da Boa Esperança ...

A Positive Cooling Feedback for the Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth Initiation Due To Weakening of Ocean Ventilation

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Ocean ventilation is an important regulator for atmospheric CO2 level (pCO2) by affecting the relative proportion of carbon stored in the atmosphere and deep ocean.

Cryogenian Glacial Erosion and Tectonics as Agents of Crustal Recycling

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Zircon preserves evidence of recycling processes that link surface environments to the mantle. Combined δ18O‐εHf in zircon fingerprints magmatic sources and tracks how crustal material is reworked over time. We apply statistical analyses to a global compilation that apparently resolves shifts in zircon U–Pb, δ18O, and Lu‐Hf data spanning the ...

The last common bilaterian ancestor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Many regulatory genes appear to be utilized in at least superficially similar ways in the development of particular body parts in Drosophila and in chordates.

THE REFERENCE GAREVKA GRANITE (YENISEI RIDGE, WESTERN MARGIN OF THE SIBERIAN CRATON): THE FINAL ATTEMPT TO VERIFY PALEOPROTEROZOIC Pb/U ISOTOPIC AGE BY M.I. VOLOBUEV

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика
The article unravels a confusing history of ideas about the age of the Garevka granite pluton, which is considered as a reference object for the Precambrian of the Yenisei ridge.
