Journal ArticleDOI
Giving the early fossil record of sponges a squeeze.
Jonathan B. Antcliffe,Jonathan B. Antcliffe,Richard H. T. Callow,Martin D. Brasier,Martin D. Brasier +4 more
TL;DR: Twenty candidate fossils with claim to be the oldest representative of the Phylum Porifera have been re‐analysed and it is shown that no Precambrian fossil candidate yet satisfies all three of these criteria to be a reliable sponge fossil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remarkable preservation of microbial mats in Neoproterozoic siliciclastic settings: Implications for Ediacaran taphonomic models
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the processes of soft-tissue preservation in siliciclastic settings from the Ediacaran Period, including microbes and microbial mats as well as macrofossils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genesis and character of thin-bedded turbidites associated with submarine channels
Larissa Hansen,Richard H. T. Callow,Ian A. Kane,Fabiano Gamberi,Marzia Rovere,Bryan T. Cronin,Benjamin Charles Kneller +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors acknowledge the support of the PRACSS Joint Industry Project at University of Aberdeen, funded by BG Group, BP, DONG, RWE Dea, Petrochina, Statoil and Tullow Oil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial mats implicated in the generation of intrastratal shrinkage (‘synaeresis’) cracks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use the term "intrastratal shrinkage crack" to describe sinuous and tapering cracks in shallow marine mudstone beds from the Ordovician Beach Formation of Bell Island, Newfoundland.
Book ChapterDOI
Evolutionary Trends in Remarkable Fossil Preservation Across the Ediacaran–Cambrian Transition and the Impact of Metazoan Mixing
TL;DR: In this paper, a unifying model is presented that explains most of the major changes seen in fossil preservation and redox conditions across the Precambrian-Cambrian transition and proposes that the quality of cellular and tissue preservation in Proterozoic and Cambrian sediments is much higher than it is in more recent marine deposits.
