Journal ArticleDOI
U-Pb ages from the neoproterozoic Doushantuo Formation, China
TL;DR: U-Pb zircon dates from volcanic ash beds within the Doushantuo Formation (China) indicate that its deposition occurred between 635 and 551 million years ago, indicating synchronous deglaciation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian small shelly fossil assemblages and a revised biostratigraphic correlation of the Yangtze Platform (China)
TL;DR: In this article, the Yangtze Platform has been used for the identification of small shelly fossils (SSFs) and five biozones for the Meishucunian Stage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated Ediacaran (Sinian) chronostratigraphy of South China
TL;DR: In this article, the Yangtze Platform of South China has been investigated for the purpose of constructing a framework for global chronostratigraphic correlation of Ediacaran strata, and the results indicated that the earliest known metazoan biotas do not constitute two temporally separate evolutionary lineages preceding the Cambrian explosion of animal life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rise to modern levels of ocean oxygenation coincided with the Cambrian radiation of animals

TL;DR: New molybdenum isotope data are presented that demonstrate that the areal extent of oxygenated bottom waters increased in step with the early Cambrian bioradiation of animals and eukaryotic phytoplankton, marking the first establishment of a key environmental factor in modern-like ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in Cambrian stratigraphy and paleontology: Integrating correlation techniques, paleobiology, taphonomy and paleoenvironmental reconstruction
TL;DR: A generalized curve of carbon isotopes (δ13C) through the Cambrian suggests a relationship between major biotic events, sea level history and the development of deposits of exceptional preservation (Lagerstatten).
