Abstract Large Igneous Provinces emplacement drives mass extinctions through rapid carbon release, but the relative contributions of magmatic degassing versus thermogenic decarbonation remain debated. Here, we incorporate temperature‐dependent thermal parameters into models of contact metamorphism around intruding sills.

Fracture Properties of Kerogen and Importance for Organic-Rich Shales
Oil and gas produced from organic-rich shales have become in the last ten years one of the most promising sources of unconventional fossil fuels. The oil and gas are trapped in rocks of very small permeability, but hydraulic fracturing enables to operate those reservoirs with competitive costs.

Abstract We investigate late Holocene changes in the northern Benguela Upwelling System using a multi‐proxy approach on shallow shelf deposits from the Namibian mud belt. Three sediment cores characterized by organic carbon‐rich, anoxic, and partly gas‐bearing sediments were retrieved along a sampling transect at 23°S in August 2019.

Abstract Magnesite (MgCO3) is a magnesium (Mg) carbonate mineral that records the aqueous environmental conditions of its formation. On Earth, magnesite forms in metamorphic, diagenetic or pedogenic environments, and distinguishing between these environments is critical for understanding the fluid chemistry during magnesite precipitation. Mg carbonates

Dolomitic Microfossil Preservation in a Cryogenian Microbial Reef, Arkaroola (South Australia)
ABSTRACT Microbial dolostones that now form the Arkaroola reef, northern Adelaide Rift Complex, and were deposited during the Cryogenian interglacial period, display a wide range of meso‐scale stromatolite morphotypes in outcrop. Microcharacterisation involving optical microscopy, combined scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy

Red to Green: A Lipid Biomarker Record of Tonian‐Ediacaran Algae in Siberia
ABSTRACT Multiple lines of evidence point to a major diversification of Eukarya in the late Tonian period, ca. 800–720 Ma ago. Regular steranes, lipid biomarkers primarily sourced from eukaryotes, are first unambiguously reported from multiple sites. Here, we present lipid biomarker stratigraphic records from two drill‐cores from the Lena‐Anabar Basin ...

ABSTRACT Following the largest known Phanerozoic extinction, the end‐Permian mass extinction, the Early Triassic is often considered an interval of slow biotic recovery. During this time, the minor Smithian‐Spathian extinction occurred, further delaying the biotic recovery of this epoch.
