Dendrogramma, new genus, with two new non-bilaterian species from the marine bathyal of southeastern Australia (Animalia, Metazoa incertae sedis)--with similarities to some medusoids from the Precambrian Ediacara. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS One, 2014
This study examines a new species of dinosaur named Dendrogramma, which has been found near Bass Strait. Abstract A new genus, Dendrogramma, with two new species of multicellular, non-bilaterian, mesogleal animals with some bilateral aspects, D ...

Developmental principles: fact or fiction. [PDF]

open access: yesScientificWorldJournal, 2012
While still at school, most of us are deeply impressed by the underlying principles that so beautifully explain why the chemical elements are ordered as they are in the periodic table, and may wonder, with the theoretician Brian Goodwin, “whether there might be equally powerful principles that account for the awe-inspiring diversity of body forms in ...

The continuing debate on deep molluscan phylogeny: evidence for Serialia (Mollusca, Monoplacophora + Polyplacophora). [PDF]

open access: yesBiomed Res Int, 2013
Molluscs are a diverse animal phylum with a formidable fossil record. Although there is little doubt about the monophyly of the eight extant classes, relationships between these groups are controversial. We analysed a comprehensive multilocus molecular data set for molluscs, the first to include multiple species from all classes, including five ...

New palaeomagnetic result from Vendian red sediments in Cisbaikalia and the problem of the relationship of Siberia and Laurentia in the Vendian [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Journal International, 2000
A palaeomagnetic study of Vendian red sediments from the Lena River section on the western margin of Lake Baikal in the region of Cisbaikalia (54°N, 108°E) has isolated a stable remanence with direction D = 296.3°, I = −27.7° (high-temperature component) and a corresponding pole of 2.7°S, 168.2°E.

The origin of barium in the Cambrian–Vendian aquifer system, North Estonia [PDF]

open access: yesEstonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2009
Identification of the barium occurrence and its origin is made on the basis of the groundwater chemistry study. High Ba content has been detected in the Cambrian–Vendian aquifer system in the coastal vicinity of the Gulf of Finland in Estonia and St ...

The astronomical pulse of global extinction events. [PDF]

open access: yesScientificWorldJournal, 2006
The linkage between astronomical cycles and the periodicity of mass extinctions is reviewed and discussed. In particular, the apparent 26 million year cycle of global extinctions may be related to the motion of the solar system around the galaxy, especially perpendicular to the galactic plane.

Early eukaryotic microfossils of the late Palaeoproterozoic Limbunya Group, Birrindudu Basin, northern Australia

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 9, Issue 6, November/December 2023., 2023
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 ...

Ediacaran–Cambrian bioturbation did not extensively oxygenate sediments in shallow marine ecosystems

open access: yesGeobiology, Volume 21, Issue 4, Page 435-453, July 2023., 2023
Abstract The radiation of bioturbation during the Ediacaran–Cambrian transition has long been hypothesized to have oxygenated sediments, triggering an expansion of the habitable benthic zone and promoting increased infaunal tiering in early Paleozoic benthic communities.

Correlation of Proterozoic-Phanerozoic deep wells sections targeting Aldan-Maya area petroleum potentiality estimation [PDF]

open access: yesНефтегазовая геология: Теория и практика, 2022
The article discusses the debatable issues of well log correlation of the Riphean, Vendian, Cambrian and Mesozoic sections, promising for the search for oil and gas in the Aldan-Maya potentially petroleum bearing region. The author's proposed correlation
