Calibrating the Cryogenian.

TL;DR: Four high-precision U-Pb ages for Neoproterozoic rocks in northwestern Canada are presented that constrain large perturbations in the carbon cycle, a major diversification and depletion in the microfossil record, and the onset of the Sturtian glaciation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This work used carbonate “clumped” isotope paleothermometry to constrain ocean temperatures, and thereby estimate ice volumes, through the Late Ordovician–Early Silurian glaciation, and finds tropical ocean temperatures of 32° to 37°C except for short-lived cooling by ~5°C during the final Ordovicians stage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Miocene rotation of Sardinia: New paleomagnetic and geochronological constraints and geodynamic implications
Jérôme Gattacceca,Alan L. Deino,R. Rizzo,David S. Jones,Bernard Henry,Bernard Beaudoin,F. Vadeboin +6 more
TL;DR: The Miocene rotation of Sardinia (Western Mediterranean) remains poorly constrained despite a wealth of paleomagnetic data, primarily due to poor chronostratigraphic control as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A volcanic trigger for the Late Ordovician mass extinction? Mercury data from south China and Laurentia
TL;DR: In this article, anomalously high Hg concentrations in marine strata from south China and Laurentia deposited immediately before, during, and after the Hirnantian glacial maximum are interpreted to reflect the emplacement of a large igneous province (LIP).
Journal ArticleDOI
Stratigraphic and tectonic implications of a newly discovered glacial diamictite-cap carbonate couplet in southwestern Mongolia
TL;DR: In this article, a new end-Cryogenian glacial diamictite and an overlying basal Ediacaran cap carbonate within the Tsagaan Oloom Formation of southwestern Mongolia are reported.
