DOI: 10.1016/j.oregeorev.2021.104524
Abstract: Abstract The stratiform Mn-carbonate ore from the Gaoyan deposit occurs within terrigenous-sedimentary rocks of the upper part of the Ediacaran Doushantuo Formation and is characterized by rhodochrosite spherulites. Here we examine the effect of depositional… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.precamres.2020.106004
Abstract: Abstract The emergence and proliferation of metazoan lineage in the Ediacaran Period is commonly hypothesized to reflect an increase in the oxygen content of marine environments. However, recent studies suggest that the Ediacaran oceanic redox… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-65176-2
Abstract: Because the informative Burgess Shale-type preservation is uncommon in the Ediacaran, mouldic Ediacara-type preservation provides insight into the early evolution of organisms like metazoans (including typical fronds), protists, and algae. Here, we report the Burgess… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/14772019.2018.1443977
Abstract: Microfossil assemblages that include large acritarchs with complex processes, known as Doushantuo-Pertatataka-type acritarchs, are recovered from early Ediacaran successions globally. They are commonly found in shale and chert lithologies, but their diversity and palaeobiological significance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/pala.12484
Abstract: Conspicuously few body‐fossil taxa are known to span the Ediacaran–Cambrian boundary, a pattern usually taken to signal either a terminal Proterozoic mass extinction, or taphonomic failure. We draw attention to the emerging record of small… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.ady3258
Abstract: Paleogeography of the Ediacaran Period has remained poorly understood because of paleomagnetic studies commonly yielding perplexing or conflicting data. Here, we report new magnetostratigraphic data from the Ediacaran Ouarzazate Group in the Anti-Atlas Mountains of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/g38367.1
Abstract: The trigger for biomineralization of metazoans in the terminal Ediacaran, ca. 550 Ma, has been suggested to be the rise of oxygenation or an increase in seawater Ca concentration, but geochemical and fossil data have… read more here.
