The correlation between Neoproterozoic tectonics, paleoenvironment and early life are
crucial for understanding the evolution of the Earth's habitability. The Yangtze Block …

The end‐Neoproterozoic transition marked a gradual but permanent shift between distinct
configurations of Earth's biosphere. This interval witnessed the demise of the enigmatic …

Oxygenation of the early Cambrian ocean is commonly ascribed to high organic export to
the sediment due to the rise of algae and filter-feeding animals, but direct evidence of …

There was a strong relationship between paleo-oceanic conditions and organic matter
accumulation during the critical period of the Early Cambrian. The Yangtze Platform in South …

Abstract The Ediacaran ocean (635-541 million years ago) is typically viewed as a stagnant,
redox-stratified ocean with low phosphorus availability. However, this contradicts the high …

Primary paleoproductivity provides basic organic matter for the formation of high-quality
hydrocarbon source rock. A progressive method to quantitatively calculate paleoproductivity …

Abstract The Early Cambrian Late Stage 2 to Stage 3 (526–514 Ma) was characterized by
the peak of the Cambrian Explosion and a large-scale global transgression that resulted in …

Abstract The Ediacaran-Cambrian transition is characterized by the evolution of complex
eukaryotes and rapid diversification of metazoans. However, linkages between …

The early Cambrian was a critical interval for the Earth system, during which a rise in
oceanic and atmospheric oxygen levels coincided with the rapid diversification of …

The lower Cambrian sediments including the Qiongzhusi and Maidiping formations in the
Sichuan Basin are generally considered as the main source rocks of Precambrian-Cambrian …
