A growing number of detailed geochemical studies of Ediacaran (635–541 Ma) marine
successions have provided snapshots into the redox environments that played host to the …

In-situ shale gas extraction provides direct evidence in response to gas-bearing evaluations
and productivity predictions regarding shale gas reservoirs. The desorption characteristics …

Most ancient organic microfossils delicately preserved in 3D have been found in cherts.
Although entombment within silica has been shown to promote morphological preservation …

This paper addresses the taphonomic processes responsible for fossil preservation in
calcium phosphate, or phosphatization. Aside from silicification and rarer examples of …

Sphenothallus, a tubular fossil that occurs in Paleozoic strata around the world, may be
related to cnidarians or 'worms,'but its affinities remain controversial due to preservational …

Abstract Brachiopods from Cambrian Series 2, Stage 4 carbonate strata of the Byrd Group in
the Central Transantarctic Mountains, East Antarctica, are described for the first time. These …

The earliest growth of post‐metamorphic (post‐larval) shells in two species of Eohadrotreta
is described from the Cambrian Shuijingtuo Formation of South China. Two different growth …

Monospecific accumulations of ostracods, represented by spine‐bearing Janischewskya?
sp. and a smooth‐shelled Cavellina? sp., were detected inside the body chamber, siphuncle …

Acrotretides are extinct micromorphic brachiopods that exhibited considerable
morphological variation during their rapid evolution in the early Palaeozoic. The plano …

Abstract The Cambrian Fortunian fossil embryos exhibit embryonic development of ancient
animals and hence have important bearings on evolutionary developmental biology. They …
