Sulphur isotope compositions of sedimentary phosphorites from the basal Cambrian of China: implications for Neoproterozoic–Cambrian biogeochemical cycling
The Meishucun Section (Yunnan Province, South China) is considered to be an important Precambrian–Cambrian boundary section, primarily because of its rich small shelly fossil record. In this article, we report the results of a sulphur isotope study of phosphate-bound sulphate from the Meishucun Section and several correlative sections in South China. Forty clastic, granular phosphorites from Me...
متن کاملMetamorphism of Late Neoproterozoic-Early Cambrian Schists in Southwest of Zanjan from the Soltanieh Belt in Northwest of Iran
Late Neoproterozoic-Early Cambrian schists have been occurred in southwest of Zanjan city from the Soltanieh belt. The Soltanieh belt in northwest of Iran is uplifted basement of Precambrian-Paleozoic in main central Iran zone and includes outcrops of Precambrian, Paleozoic and Mesozoic Formations. Late Neoproterozoic-Early Cambrian schists, the oldest stratigraphy unit in the region, consist o...
متن کاملNeoproterozoic variations in the C-isotopic composition of seawater: stratigraphic and biogeochemical implications.
The recent proliferation of stratigraphic studies of delta 13C variation in carbonates and organic C in later Neoproterozoic and basal Cambrian successions (approximately 850-530 Ma) indicates a strong oscillating trend in the C-isotopic composition of surface seawater. Alone, this trend does not adequately characterize discrete intervals in Neoproterozoic time. However, integrated with the vec...
متن کاملBiogeochemical redox processes and their impact on contaminant dynamics.
Life and element cycling on Earth is directly related to electron transfer (or redox) reactions. An understanding of biogeochemical redox processes is crucial for predicting and protecting environmental health and can provide new opportunities for engineered remediation strategies. Energy can be released and stored by means of redox reactions via the oxidation of labile organic carbon or inorga...
متن کاملSHRIMP zircon U–Pb age constraints on Neoproterozoic Quruqtagh diamictites in NW China
The Neoproterozoic Quruqtagh Group in the Tarim Block, NW China, contains multiple diamictites in the Bayisi, Altungol, Tereeken, and Hankalchough formations. These diamictites may represent three or possibly four discrete glaciations, although evidence for a glacial origin of the Bayisi and Altungol diamictite is ambiguous. To constrain their age and duration, we dated three volcanic beds (V1,...
