Discussion of multiple formation mechanisms of saddle dolomites—Comparison of geochemical data of Proterozoic–Paleozoic dolomites

open access: yesEnergy Exploration & Exploitation, 2018
As important gas-bearing strata, Proterozoic–Paleozoic marine carbonate successions in the Sichuan Basin have experienced a long diagenetic history and multiphase hydrothermal activities.

Single Piezometric Stress Preserved in Strained Feldspar and Quartz From Intracontinental Lower Crust

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The strength of the intracontinental lower crust exerts a primary control on regional‐scale deformation during continent‐continent collision. Because of the nominally anhydrous nature of much of the intracontinental lower crust, it is generally considered to be more viscous than lower crust in hydrated tectonic margins.

The Paleo‐Tethys Suture Zone in the Afghan Hindu Kush‒Pamir: Geo‐Thermochronology, Geochemistry, Tectonics

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract In the Afghan Hindu Kush, the 223–209 Ma (≤800°C) Salang batholith is part of the Silk‐Road magmatic arc that was built on ∼40‐km‐thick Turan‐Karakum block continental crust. The batholith constitutes the hanging wall of the Herat‐Panjshir‐Badakhshan—the Paleo‐Tethys—suture zone, vestige of the subducted Paleozoic‐early Mesozoic Paleo‐Tethys ...

Quantifying Multi‐Source Sediment Supply in a Tropical Foreland Basin (Oligocene‐Miocene Nyalau Formation, Borneo)

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 38, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Detrital zircon unmixing identifies three sediment sources for the Oligocene–Miocene Nyalau Formation, including a previously unrecognised syn‐depositional component characterised by Oligocene–Miocene volcanic zircons and Neoproterozoic populations absent from established sources.

Proterozoic Lithospheric Evolution

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1988
Recent years have seen significant new results on the evolution of Proterozoic terranes, and many of these resulted from new techniques, new concepts, and increasing multi‐disciplinary research. In 1981, Working Group (WG) 3 of the International Lithosphere Program (ILP) was established.

Molar tooth carbonates and benthic methane fluxes in Proterozoic oceans

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Molar tooth structures are common in early- to mid-Proterozoic carbonates but extremely rare in rocks younger than 750 Ma. Here, the authors show molar tooth carbonate formation is related to benthic methane fluxes.

Precambrian glaciations and the evolution of the atmosphere

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae
Precambrian glaciations appear to be confined to two periods, one in the early Proterozoic between 2.5 and 2 Gyears BP (Before Present) and the other in the late Proterozoic between 1 and 0.57 Gyear BP.

Marine Aluminum Phosphate–Sulfate Authigenesis as a Phosphorus Sink During Mid‐Proterozoic Oxygenation

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Enhanced continental phosphorus input into the ocean has been suggested as a potential trigger for the transient oxygenation events during the mid‐Proterozoic; however, the response of phosphorus cycling to these marine oxygenations remains unclear. Here,
