DOI: 10.1016/j.gca.2019.07.036
Abstract: Abstract Cadmium (Cd) isotopes are an emerging proxy for biological controlled metal and nutrient cycling in the modern oceans, but its potential as a geochemical proxy in ancient environments is still uncertain yet. Sequential leaching… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-49993-2
Abstract: The earliest unambiguous evidence for animals is represented by various trace fossils in the latest Ediacaran Period (550–541 Ma), suggesting that the earliest animals lived on or even penetrated into the seafloor. Yet, the O2 fugacity… read more here.

DOI: 10.24272/j.issn.2095-8137.2021.322
Abstract: Cenozoic tectonic evolution in the Tethyan region has greatly changed the landforms and environment of Eurasia, driving the evolution of animals and greatly affecting the diversity patterns of Eurasian animals. By combining the latest Tethyan… read more here.
