TL;DR: Tanner, W.F., 1971. Numerical estimates of ancient waves, water depths and fetch. as discussed by the authors The occurrence of patchy preservation of ripples and of palimpsest ripples on many sandstone bed surfaces of the 2.1 Ga Magaliesberg Formation (Pretoria Group, Transvaal Supergroup), South Africa, suggests that microbial mats grew within the upper parts of sandy deposits of the braid-deltaic-tidally controlled epeiric marine coastline palaeoenvironment inferred for this stratigraphic unit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemical and Sm–Nd isotopic characteristics of the Late Archaean-Palaeoproterozoic Dhanjori and Chaibasa metasedimentary rocks, Singhbhum craton, E. India: Implications for provenance, and contemporary basin tectonics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present geochemical and Sm-Nd isotopic data from the Dhanjori and Chaibasa Formations for the first time and combine previous sedimentological data with the goal to expand the framework for understanding the depositional and tectonic setting of these two formations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Events in the Precambrian history of the earth : challenges in discriminating their global significance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss geological events with an approximately global preservational scale which can aid inter-cratonic correlations and contribute to postulates of supercontinents for a set of chosen Precambrian cratons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some general advice for writing a scientific paper
TL;DR: The most important part of a paper as mentioned in this paper is the abstract, which is the most critical and the most difficult part of the paper to write and it is intended for the reader (and citer of the work) who think that he or she does not have the time nor detailed interest to read the whole paper.
