Araguainha Dome, Brazil: A polygonal impact structure due to a complex pre‐impact regional structural framework

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigated the structural framework of the north–northwestern Paraná Basin in Brazil to test whether the pre‐impact structures in this region may have had any influence on the first‐order formation and morphostructure of the Araguainha impact structure (AIS).

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.

A palaeogeographic context for Neoproterozoic glaciation [PDF]

open access: yesPalaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2009
Abstract The distributions of 77 Neoproterozoic glacigenic formations are shown on global palaeogeographic maps for 715 Ma (Sturtian), 635 Ma (Marinoan) and 580 Ma (Ediacaran), constructed on grounds independent of palaeoclimatic indicators. The meridional distribution of Sturtian and Marinoan deposits is biased in favour of low palaeolatitudes ...

Revisiting the Hummeln structure, Sweden—A shallow marine Cambrian impact structure

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Hummeln is a simple impact structure located in south‐eastern Sweden. It is approximately 1.2 km in diameter and almost completely covered by a lake. Here, we present the first detailed investigation of impactites and mapping of the 164.25 m deep drill core Hummeln‐1 with a focus on impact metamorphism and the impact process.

Quantitative and Nuanced Approaches Elucidate Carbon Isotope Records

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Earth scientists have leveraged carbon isotope records to interpret Earth history and establish chronostratigraphic frameworks for decades (e.g., Halverson et al., 2005, https://doi.org/10.1130/b25630.1; Kaufman & Knoll, 1995, https://doi.org/10.1016 ...

Ductile Extrusion Triggered by Continental Collision in NE Brazil

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Borborema Province in northeastern Brazil hosts one of the world's largest strike‐slip shear zone networks, active during the late Neoproterozoic assembly of West Gondwana. Whether these shear zones initiated during active continental collision or as a post‐orogenic response to far‐field stresses remains debated.

Petrographic and mineralogical characteristics of diagenetic overprinting in Neoproterozoic diamictites from Murchisonfjorden, Nordaustlandet, Svalbard

open access: yesMineralogia
The diagenetic processes exhibited by the Neoproterozoic diamictites from Murchisonfjorden (Nordaustlandet, NE Svalbard) are presented. Diamictite samples from the Cryogene Polarisbreen Group - the Petrovbreen Member of the Elbobreen Formation and the ...

Lithostratigraphy of the Portfjeld Group (Ediacaran – lowermost Cambrian) of North Greenland

open access: yesGEUS Bulletin
The Portfjeld Formation, as originally defined, is the lowermost lithostratigraphic unit of the mainly Lower Palaeozoic Franklinian Basin in southern Peary Land, central North Greenland.

A vast Caledonian fan and an Ediacaran arc: the contrasting provenance of Devonian clastics of Brunia (Bohemian Massif) [PDF]

open access: yesSolid Earth
Brunia is a distinctive crustal block within the European Variscides, composed of a late Neoproterozoic arc complex overlain by Ediacaran–early Cambrian cover sequences.
