The early to mid-Paleoproterozoic Lomagundi-Jatuli Excursion (LJE) is ostensibly the largest magnitude (approximately+ 5 to+ 30‰), longest duration (ca. 130–250 million years) …
An emerging consensus suggests that large igneous provinces (LIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including several Phanerozoic …
Chlorophytes (representing a clade within the Viridiplantae and a sister group of the Streptophyta) probably dominated marine export bioproductivity and played a key role in …
Abstract Otavi Group is a 1.5–3.5-km-thick epicontinental marine carbonate succession of Neoproterozoic age, exposed in an 800-km-long Ediacaran− Cambrian fold belt that rims …
It has been proposed that isotopically light inorganic carbon precipitated diagenetically in clastic sediments can explain the large carbon isotopic excursions recorded in …
The geological timescale before 720 Ma uses rounded absolute ages rather than specific events recorded in rocks to subdivide time. This has led increasingly to mismatches between …
The supercontinent-cycle hypothesis attributes planetary-scale episodic tectonic events to an intrinsic self-organizing mode of mantle convection, governed by the buoyancy of …

Carbonate sediments of nonglacial Cryogenian (659 to 649 Ma) and early Ediacaran (635 to 590 Ma) age exhibit large positive and negative δ13Ccarb excursions in a shallow-water …
Sedimentological insights underpin many of the important recent advances in understanding of Earth system behaviour in the Neoproterozoic Era. This article reviews three main …
