Carbonate minerals have precipitated from seawater for at least the last 3.8 billion years, but
changes in the physical and chemical properties of carbonate rocks demonstrate that the …

The reefs of the middle–late Cambrian (Cambrian Epoch 3–Furongian) have long been
simply considered as microbialites that flourished in the aftermath of the archaeocyath …

Written by one of Korea's most respected earth scientists, Geology and Sedimentology of the
Korean Peninsula analyzes sedimentary facies, basin evolution, and sequence stratigraphy …

This paper focuses on the tectonic, sedimentary, and volcanic evolution of a unique back-arc
basin (Ulleung Basin) in the southwestern part of the East Sea (Sea of Japan). The basin …

Biomineralization induced by microorganisms has become a hot spot in the field of
carbonate sedimentology; however, the mechanisms involved still need to be explored. In …

Abstract The Great Unconformity between the Precambrian basement rock and Cambrian
sedimentary cover has been extensively documented in Laurentia and may provide insights …

Widespread development of microbialites harbors a series of clues about microbial activity,
environmental condition, and aquatic chemistry. The Ediacaran-Cambrian transition draws …

In order to understand sequence development and sea-level fluctuations during the late
Middle Cambrian to early Furongian on the North China epeiric platform, the present study …

Marine ecosystems with a diverse range of animal groups became established during the
early Cambrian (~ 541 to~ 509 Ma). However, Earth's environmental parameters and …

Abstract During the Furongian (late Cambrian) and Early Ordovician, maze-like (maceriate)
microbialites flourished in both Laurentia and Gondwana. The maze-like microbialites are …
