Ediacara fossils are central to our understanding of animal evolution on the eve Cambrian explosion, because some them likely represent stem-group marine animals. However, iconic have also been interpreted as terrestrial lichens or microbial colonies. Our ability test these hypotheses is limited by a taphonomic bias that most preserved in sandstones and siltstones. Here we report several an annulated tubular fossil (reconstructed erect epibenthic organism with uniserial arranged modular...
Abstract The Ediacaran Doushantuo Formation in South China is a prime target for geobiological investigation because it offers opportunities to integrate chemostratigraphic and paleobiological data. Previous studies were mostly focused on successions shallow‐water shelf facies, but data from deep‐water are needed fully understand basinal redox structures. Here, we report δ 13 C carb , org 34 S pyr CAS 15 N sed drill core of the fossiliferous Lantian Formation, which equivalent Formation. Our...
Abstract The morphologically differentiated benthic macrofossils of algae and putative animal affinities the Lantian biota in China represents oldest known Ediacaran macroscopic eukaryotic assemblage. Although provides remarkable insights into early evolution complex macroeukaryotes Ediacaran, uncertainty its age has hampered any robust biological evaluation. We resolve this issue by applying a petrographic-guided rhenium-osmium (Re-Os) organic-bearing sedimentary unit study on biota. This...
The Tonian Period (1000-720 Ma) bore witness to the transition from a prokaryote-dominated marine ecosystem one characterized by proliferation of eukaryotes. This fundamental shift has generally been attributed evolving redox states. Here, we present sedimentological and geochemical analyses early Huainan, Feishui, Huaibei groups in Xuhuai basin North China craton. Multiple proxies show consistent, water depth-dependent variations across basin. Excess barium contents Ba/Al ratios further...
Abstract As a well-known phosphatized Lagerstätte, the Ediacaran Weng'an biota in central Guizhou Province of South China contains diverse acanthomorphic acritarchs, algal thalli, tubular microfossils as well various spheroidal fossils. These fossils provide crucial palaeontological evidence for radiation multicellular eukaryotes after termination Neoproterozoic global glaciation. While is generally considered early age on basis phosphorite Pb–Pb isochron ages ranging from 572 Ma to 599 Ma,...
Abstract Reconstructions of ancient sulfur cycling and redox conditions commonly rely on isotope measurements sedimentary rocks minerals. Ediacaran strata (635–541 Ma) record a large range values in bulk difference (Δ34S) between carbonate-associated sulfate (δ34SCAS) pyrite (δ34Spy), which has been interpreted as evidence marine reservoir size change space time. However, δ34Spy could be misleading because forms under syngenetic, diagenetic, metamorphic conditions, differentially affect its...
Abstract The end-Permian mass extinction (EPME; ca. 252 Ma) led to profound changes in lacustrine ecosystems. However, whether or not post-extinction recovery of ecosystems was delayed has remained uncertain, due the apparent rarity Early and Middle Triassic deep perennial lakes. Here we report on mid–Middle organic-rich shales with abundant fossils tuff interlayers Ordos Basin China, dated 242 Ma (around Anisian-Ladinian boundary Triassic). sediments record earliest known appearance, after...
Abstract The early E diacaran L antian F ormation in S outh C hina contains some of the oldest known representatives morphologically complex macroorganisms, including various macroalgae and putative animals. macroalgal fossils have been described previously several publications, but no taxonomic treatment has published for animal fossils. This hampers our ability to fully evaluate communicate significance these potentially important macrofossils. To address this deficiency, here we provide a...
Compared with Phanerozoic strata, sulfate minerals are relatively rare in the Precambrian record; this is probably due to lower concentrations of dominantly anoxic oceans. Here, we present a compilation that stratigraphically associated Ediacaran Shuram excursion (SE) – largest negative <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll"> <mml:mi>δ</mml:mi> </mml:math> 13 C Earth history. We evaluated 15 SE sections, all which reveal presence and/or enriched...
The Ediacaran Lantian and Miaohe biotas (South China) are among the earliest-known fossil assemblages with macroscopic morphologically complex life forms. Preservation of these macrofossils has been described as carbonaceous compressions in black shales. However, detailed study their mode preservation is lacking. We investigated unweathered weathered from biotas. Our results show that although some preserved lacking any enrichment aluminosilicate clays, many associated densely packed...
