The rise of complex macroscopic life occurred during the Ediacaran Period, an interval that
witnessed large-scale disturbances to biogeochemical systems. The current Ediacaran …

The rise of animals occurred during an interval of Earth history that witnessed dynamic
marine redox conditions, potentially rapid plate motions, and uniquely large perturbations to …

Abstract The Ediacaran Period follows the Cryogenian Period in the wake of a snowball
Earth glaciation and precedes the Cambrian Period with its rising tide of animal radiation. It …

The Ediacaran Period was a critical time in the history of life and Earth. Understanding the
complex interactions between geological and biological events during this interval requires …

Ediacaran successions occur widely in various depositional facies in South China and yield
a series of fossil Lagerstätten, providing a complete fossil record for the evolution of marine …

The late Ediacaran to early Cambrian interval witnessed extraordinary radiations of
metazoan life. The role of the physical environment in this biological revolution, such as …

Records of the Ediacaran carbon cycle (635–541 million years ago) include the Shuram
excursion (SE), the largest negative carbonate carbon isotope excursion in Earth history …

Glacial depositions are widely discovered in the late Ediacaran strata all over the world, but
the temporal and spatial distributions of the Ediacaran glaciations remain poorly …

The Ediacaran–Cambrian transition signals a drastic change in both diversity and
ecosystem construction. The Ediacara biota (consisting of various metazoan stem lineages …

Abstract Rocks of Ediacaran age (~ 635–541 Ma) contain the oldest fossils of large, complex
organisms and their behaviors. These fossils document developmental and ecological …
