Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Archaean and Proterozoic diamond growth from contrasting styles of large-scale magmatism [PDF]
, 2017 Precise dating of diamond growth is required to understand the interior workings of the early Earth and the deep carbon cycle. Here we report Sm-Nd isotope data from 26 individual garnet inclusions from 26 harzburgitic diamonds from Venetia, South Africa.

Seismic wide-angle study of accreted Proterozoic crust in southeastern Wyoming [PDF]
, 1994 A seismic wide-angle xperiment was conducted in southeastern Wyoming, USA to investigate the seismic character of a postulated Proterozoic magmatic arc south of the suture (Cheyenne Belt) to the Archean Wyoming Province.

Earth's anomalous middle-age magmatism driven by plate slowdown
Scientific Reports, 2022 The mid-Proterozoic or "boring billion" exhibited extremely stable environmental conditions, with little change in atmospheric oxygen levels, and mildly oxygenated shallow oceans.

Chemostratigraphy of Neoproterozoic carbonates: implications for 'blind dating' [PDF]
, 2001 The delta C-13(carb) and Sr-87/Sr-86 secular variations in Neoproteozoic seawater have been used for the purpose of 'isotope stratigraphy' but there are a number of problems that can preclude its routine use.

A revision of the Proterozoic-Archean boundary of the Northern Bothnian schist belt with a discussion of the geochemistry of related basic metavolcanics [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1986 Geophysical analysis suggests the need for a revision of the eastern border of the early Proterozoic Northern Bothnian (or Kiiminki) schist belt. Recent geological field work has revealed places where the discordance and hiatus between Proterozoic and ...
