Abstract Fine‐grained, siliciclastic units of the >1642 ± 3.9 Ma late Palaeoproterozoic Limbunya Group, Birrindudu Basin host rich, well‐preserved organic‐walled microfossil assemblages that include members of total‐group eukaryotes. These assemblages include taxa characteristic of this interval such as Tappania plana and Satka favosa, as well as less ...

Abstract The sedimentary record of the Pahrump Group in Death Valley comprises well‐exposed successions of mixed carbonate and siliciclastic deposits. Despite the abundance of studies focussing on the depositional dynamics of mixed carbonate – siliciclastic deposition in the Phanerozoic, the record of similar Proterozoic examples is comparatively ...

Constraints on the origins of iron silicide spherules in ultrahigh‐temperature distal impact ejecta
Abstract Terrestrially occurring iron silicide spherules, described in the geological literature for 160 years as cosmogenic and approved as “extraterrestrial” minerals by IMA CNMMN in 1984, so far have escaped any serious examination by meteoriticists.

A Cryptic Alternative for the Evolution of Hyphae
The current view that hyphae evolved about 400 million years ago when plants and fungi colonized land is challenged. Recent recognition of a deep biosphere fossil record provides an alternative view on hyphae: one where the fundamental functions of hyphae developed in ancient cryptic habitats and already where adapted for a terrestrial life‐style when ...

The Precambrian in the Sub-Polar Urals : the chronostratigraphic aspect.
New geochronological data on the Lower and Upper Proterozoic complexes of the Sub-Polar Urals are presented, where the outcropping Precambrian section in the Lyapin anticlinoriumis the stratotype for the entire Timan-Northern Urals region.

A fishtail well design for cyclic steam injection—A case study from Yarega heavy oil field in Russia
The joint application of cyclic steam injection technology with fishtail wells assists in reducing the travel time the mobilized oil takes to arrive at a well perforation. Our results demonstrate that the synergy between these two strategies can further improve recoveries in heavy oil reservoirs. In addition to the technical advantage of this strategy,

In the different varieties of crystalline basement of Archean and Proterozoic age and in Vendian (Ediacaran) basal layers of platform coverture in the Central Basin of the Dniester River were found relatively high concentrations of Lanthanum, Cerium, Yttrium, Ytterbium, and Scandium.

In Yanshan, located in the northern part of North China, Mesoproterozoic carbonate sequences (1.6–1.4 Ga) form a 10, 000 m thick succession in an aulacogen basin. Carbon and oxygen isotope (δ13O and δ18O, resp.) data were obtained from 110 carbonate samples across three sections of these Mesoproterozoic deposits. From the early to late Mesoproterozoic,
