Chemostratigraphy of Carbonates from the Minas Supergroup, Quadrilátero Ferryífero (Iron Quadrangle), Brazil: A Stratigraphic Record of Early Proterozoic Atmospheric, Biogeochemical and Climactic Change

TL;DR: The ca. 2.42 Ga-old Gandarela Formation overlies the finely laminated Caue Banded Iron Formation (BIF) of the Itabira Group, Minas Supergroup, Brazil and consists of red carbonate facies BIF grading up into buff dolomites and limestones, which are locally stromatolitic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiproxy studies of Early Miocene pedogenic calcretes in the Santa Cruz Formation of southern Patagonia, Argentina indicate the existence of a temperate warm vegetation adapted to a fluctuating water table

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a multiproxy study of pedogenic calcretes examining abiotic and biotic components, and found that the calcrete exhibits a variety of morphologies (horizontal and vertical rhizoliths, laminar structure, nodules, massive crusts), microfabrics (Beta- predominant over Alpha-microfabrics), and fluctuate within each morphotype and throughout the analysed interval.
Journal ArticleDOI

C and Sr isotopic evolution of carbonate sequences in NW Argentina: Implications for a probable Precambrian-Cambrian transition

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the Las Tienditas carbonates of the La Laja Fm. show a gradual decrease from the base (+3.4 ‰PDB) to the top with a minimum of −1.6‰ observed at ∼15m from the top.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preglacial palaeoenvironmental evolution of the Ediacaran Loma Negra Formation, far southwestern Gondwana, Argentina

TL;DR: The Loma Negra Formation (LNF) is the uppermost unit of the Sierras Bayas Group and has been extensively studied in the literature as mentioned in this paper, showing consistent carbon and oxygen isotope trends that may be useful for detailed intrabasinal correlations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rare earth elements and stable isotope geochemistry of carbonates from the mélange zone of Manipur ophiolitic Complex, Indo-Myanmar Orogenic Belt, Northeast India

TL;DR: In this paper, rare earth element (REE) contents (51 ppm average value) in the MOC carbonates are high compared with the average value of typical marine carbonate (~28 ppm).
