Linking geological and biological events requires a robust geochronologic framework, which
is especially challenging for poorly fossiliferous Precambrian strata. Although this can be …

Macroalgae play a crucial ecological and biogeochemical role in modern marine
ecosystems. Although eukaryotic algae have a deep history within the Precambrian, most …

Abstract The Tonian Period (1000–720 Ma) bore witness to the transition from a prokaryote-
