The emergence of the Ediacara biota soon after the Gaskiers glaciation ca.580 million years ago(Ma)implies a possible glacial fuse for the evolution of animals.However,the timing of Ediacaran glaciation remains contro...
Ediacaran time(635–543 million years ago[Ma])represents the dawn of macroscopic life following two Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth episodes[1],where a runaway ice-albedo effect caused the entire planet to become engulf...
Proterozoic (pre-Ediacaran) glaciations occurred under strongly seasonal climates near sea level in low palaeolatitudes. Metre-scale primary sand wedges in Cryogenian periglacial deposits are identical to those acti...
The reported new U-Pb age by sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP Ⅱ) on zircon was obtained from a tuff sample at the basal Doushantuo Formation in the Jiuqunao section, which situated at the western limb...
