Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for early life in Earth’s oldest hydrothermal vent precipitates
Matthew S. Dodd,Matthew S. Dodd,Dominic Papineau,Dominic Papineau,Tor Grenne,John F. Slack,Martin Rittner,Franco Pirajno,Jonathan O'Neil,Crispin T. S. Little +9 more
TL;DR: Observations from ferruginous sedimentary rocks from the Nuvvuagittuq belt in Quebec, Canada are consistent with an oxidized biomass and provide evidence for biological activity in submarine-hydrothermal environments more than 3,770 million years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loess Plateau storage of Northeastern Tibetan Plateau-derived Yellow River sediment.
Junsheng Nie,Thomas Stevens,Martin Rittner,Daniel F. Stockli,Eduardo Garzanti,Mara Limonta,Anna Bird,Sergio Andò,Pieter Vermeesch,Joel E. Saylor,Huayu Lu,Daniel O. Breecker,Xiaofei Hu,Shanpin Liu,Alberto Resentini,Giovanni Vezzoli,Wenbin Peng,Andrew Carter,Shunchuan Ji,Baotian Pan +19 more
TL;DR: This finding revises the understanding of the origin of the Chinese Loess Plateau and provides a potential solution for mismatches between late Cenozoic terrestrial sedimentation and marine geochemistry records, as well as between global CO2 and erosion records.
Journal ArticleDOI
The provenance of Taklamakan desert sand
Martin Rittner,Pieter Vermeesch,Andrew Carter,Andrew Carter,Anna Bird,Thomas Stevens,Eduardo Garzanti,Sergio Andò,Giovanni Vezzoli,Ripul Dutt,Zhiwei Xu,Huayu Lu +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the first comprehensive provenance study of Taklamakan desert sand with the aim to characterise the interplay of wind and water and their roles in the formation of the sand sea, and to consider the potential of the Tarim Basin as a contributing source to the Chinese Loess Plateau.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying the anisotropy and tortuosity of permeable pathways in clay-rich mudstones using models based on X-ray tomography.
N.R. Backeberg,Francesco Iacoviello,Martin Rittner,Thomas M. Mitchell,Adrian P. Jones,Richard M. Day,John Wheeler,Paul R. Shearing,Pieter Vermeesch,Alberto Striolo +9 more
TL;DR: This work combines state of the art laboratory permeability experiments with high-resolution X-ray computed tomography and for the first time can quantify the three-dimensional interconnected pathways through a rock that define the anisotropic behaviour of shales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myanmar and Asia united, Australia left behind long ago
Inga Sevastjanova,Robert Hall,Martin Rittner,Saw Mu Tha Lay Paw,Tin Tin Naing,D. H. M. Alderton,Guy Comfort +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the first petrological, XRD diffraction, heavy mineral and detrital zircon U-Pb age data from turbidite sandstones in the Chin Hills that were deposited on West Burma crust in the Triassic.
