Algal fossils from a late precambrian, hypersaline lagoon.
Organically preserved algal microfossils from the Ringwood evaporite deposit in the Gillen Member of the Bitter Springs Formation (late Precambrian of central Australia) are of small size, low diversity, and probable prokaryotic affinities. These rather primitive characteristics appear to reflect the stressful conditions that prevailed in a periodically stagnant, hypersaline lagoon. This assemb...
متن کاملPrecambrian Biota: Protistan Origin of Trace Fossils?
Some Precambrian trace fossils have been presented as evidence for the early origin of bilaterians; the recent finding that large amoeboid protists leave macroscopic traces at the bottom of the deep ocean questions the metazoan nature of early trace fossils, stressing the importance of single-cell organisms in Precambrian biota.
متن کاملDark ice dynamics of the south-west Greenland Ice Sheet
Runoff from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) has increased in recent years due largely to changes in atmospheric circulation and atmospheric warming. Albedo reductions resulting from these changes have amplified surface melting. Some of the largest declines in GrIS albedo have occurred in the ablation zone of the south-west sector and are associated with the development of “dark” ice surfaces. Fi...
متن کاملIn situ laser-Raman imagery of precambrian microscopic fossils.
Laser-Raman imagery is a sensitive, noninvasive, and nondestructive technique that can be used to correlate directly chemical composition with optically discernable morphology in ancient carbonaceous fossils. By affording means to investigate the molecular makeup of specimens ranging from megascopic to microscopic, it holds promise for providing insight into aspects of organic metamorphism and ...
متن کاملMiddle Stone Age human fossils from Die Kelders Cave 1, Western Cape Province, South Africa.
Die Kelders Cave 1 (DK1) preserves a thick series of Middle Stone Age (MSA) horizons that date to a fairly short temporal interval sometime between about 60 and 80 ka ago. Twenty-seven human fossils, comprising 24 isolated teeth, a mandibular fragment, and two manual middle phalanges derive from seven of the 12 layers. The vast majority are children, and all may have come from sub-adult individ...
