The rare earth elements and yttrium (REY) can enter carbonate lattices by replacing cations,
which can be used to reconstruct the history of carbonate precipitation. The Ediacaran …

Coral reefs play an important role in the high-resolution paleoclimate and paleoenvironment
records. In particular, the contents, distribution patterns and elemental anomalies of the rare …

Multi-episodic (three episodes at least) hydrothermal silica chimneys are identified in the
black chert successions (up to∼ 100 m thick locally), overlain by thick black shales (up to a …

Silica diagenesis is one of the most important aspects of black shale diagenesis and
critically controls the reservoirs properties of black shales. Three stratigraphic sections of the …

Abstract The Devonian-Carboniferous transition (359 Ma) was a time of extreme climate and
faunal change and is associated with the end-Devonian biodiversity crisis. The transition is …

Abstract The Ediacaran–Cambrian transition was one of the most critical intervals in Earth
history. During this interval, widespread chert was precipitated, commonly as a stratal wedge …

A combined study of trace elements, carbon and oxygen isotopes was carried out for
Carboniferous marine limestones from the Lower Yangtze platform in South China. The …

The Dongyang gold deposit is a recently discovered large gold deposit located within the
Dehua–Youxi–Yongtai mining camp in central–east Fujian Province, southeast China. The …

To understand the mechanism of organic matter enrichment in the organic-rich intervals of
the Cryogenian non-glacial strata, we report high-resolution geochemical data of the well …

With onoing studies on the diversification of animals during the early Cambrian in the
Yangtze Block, resource effects associated with environmental changes have started to be …
