Journal ArticleDOI

Stromatolite reef from the Early Archaean era of Australia

TL;DR: A multi-kilometre-scale palaeontological and palaeoenvironmental study of the Strelley Pool Chert, in which the first morphotype-specific analysis of the structures within their palaioenvironment and refute contemporary abiogenic hypotheses for their formation are undertaken.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rare earth elements in Holocene reefal microbialites: a new shallow seawater proxy

TL;DR: The concentration of rare earth elements and yttrium (REE + Y) was determined in Holocene Mg-calcite microbialites from shallow reef framework cavities at Heron Reef, Great Barrier Reef as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

VizualAge: A Novel Approach to Laser Ablation ICP‐MS U‐Pb Geochronology Data Reduction

TL;DR: VizualAge as discussed by the authors is a new computer software tool for analysing U-Pb data obtained by laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterisation of early Archaean chemical sediments by trace element signatures

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented new rare earth element (REE) plus yttrium (Y) data for two distinct suites of early Archaean metamorphosed rocks from southern West Greenland, whose interrelationships have been much debated in recent literature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rare earth element geochemistry of Late Devonian reefal carbonates, Canning Basin, Western Australia : Confirmation of a seawater REE proxy in ancient limestones

TL;DR: In this article, rare earth element and yttrium (REE+Y) concentrations were determined in 49 Late Devonian reefal carbonates from the Lennard Shelf, Canning Basin, Western Australia, and the results suggest that most limestones should record important aspects of the REE geochemistry of the waters in which they precipitated, provided they are relatively free of terrigenous contamination and major diagenetic alteration from fluids with high, non-seawater-like REE contents.
