The Neoproterozoic provides an important record of glacial–postglacial paleoenvironments,
organic carbon cycling, and hydrocarbon accumulation. Here, to better understand the …

Sedimentary rocks host vast geological resources, such as fossil fuels and various types of
metallic and nonmetallic mineral deposits, and record the information of long-term …

The occurrence of either scheelite (CaWO 4) or wolframite ([Fe, Mn] WO 4) in tungsten
deposits is generally explained by the Ca content of the host rocks, but scheelite/wolframite …

Neoproterozoic marine systems are associated with major paleoecological changes that
took place in the Ediacaran and during the Ediacaran-Cambrian transition. During this …

Abstract Globally, Sturtian (early Cryogenian) glacial deposits are well expressed, and
belong to the oldest Neoproterozoic icehouse Earth event. The evidence for glaciation …

The rhenium-osmium (187Re-187Os) system is a highly versatile chronometer that is
regularly applied to a wide range of geological and extraterrestrial materials. In addition to …

Identifying hydrocarbon sources in over-mature petroleum systems is important and
challenging. Here we present a pilot study using inorganic geochemistry to trace …

Summary Recent results on ca. 1,380 Ma LIPs and black shales indicate a temporal link
between LIPs and black shales and suggest a potential way for using coeval LIPs and black …

In recent years, significant breakthroughs in gas exploration have been made in
Neoproterozoic strata in the Yangtze Block, in southern China, as the Anyue super gas field …

Abstract The Mesoproterozoic Bayan Obo Group in central Inner Mongolia, China,
represents a sedimentary sequence deposited in the Bayan Obo Rift Basin. New Re–Os …
