The gradual discovery that late Neoproterozoic ice sheets extended to sea level near the
equator poses a palaeoenvironmental conundrum. Was the Earth's orbital obliquity> …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Glacial deposits of Sturtian and Marinoan age occur in the well-studied Neoproterozoic
successions of northern Namibia, South Australia, and northwestern Canada. In all three …

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 distributions of 77 Neoproterozoic glacigenic formations are shown on global
palaeogeographic maps for 715 Ma (Sturtian), 635 Ma (Marinoan) and 580 Ma (Ediacaran) …

The Neoproterozoic Quruqtagh Group in the Tarim Block, NW China, contains multiple
diamictites in the Bayisi, Altungol, Tereeken, and Hankalchough formations. These …

Abstract The Iapetus Ocean opened during the fission of the supercontinent Rodinia, from
the breakup of three of its core continental constituents: Laurentia, Baltica and Amazonia …

The Neoproterozoic contains severe glacial intervals (750–580 Ma) including two extending
to low palaeomagnetic latitudes. Paucity of radiometric dates indicates the need for …

Neoproterozoic to Cambrian isolation of Laurentia during the breakup of Rodinia was
associated with multiple large igneous provinces, protracted multiphase rifting, and variable …

New Re–Os isotopic data were obtained from chlorite-grade black shales from the upper Old
Fort Point Formation (Windermere Supergroup), a post-glacial Neoproterozoic marker …
