Current understanding on the Cambrian Explosion: questions and answers
X Zhang, D Shu - PalZ, 2021 - Springer
Abstract The Cambrian Explosion by nature is a three-phased explosion of animal body

Sustained increases in atmospheric oxygen and marine productivity in the Neoproterozoic and Palaeozoic eras
A geologically rapid Neoproterozoic oxygenation event is commonly linked to the
appearance of marine animal groups in the fossil record. However, there is still debate about …

Sea level controls on Ediacaran-Cambrian animal radiations
The drivers of Ediacaran-Cambrian metazoan radiations remain unclear, as does the fidelity
of the record. We use a global age framework [580–510 million years (Ma) ago] to estimate …

Continental configuration controls ocean oxygenation during the Phanerozoic
The early evolutionary and much of the extinction history of marine animals is thought to be
driven by changes in dissolved oxygen concentrations ([O2]) in the ocean,–. In turn,[O2] is …

Orbitally-paced climate change in the early Cambrian and its implications for the history of the Solar System
The early Cambrian was a critical period of Earth history, marked by explosive diversification
of metazoans and several profound changes in Earth's surface environments and global …

Late Paleozoic oxygenation of marine environments supported by dolomite U-Pb dating
Understanding causal relationships between evolution and ocean oxygenation hinges on
reliable reconstructions of marine oxygen levels, typically from redox-sensitive geochemical …

Major Early-Middle Devonian oceanic oxygenation linked to early land plant evolution detected using high-resolution U isotopes of marine limestones
Abstract The middle Paleozoic (∼ 420-350 Myr) records a major increase in ocean-
atmosphere oxygen levels; however, the timing and pattern of oxygenation are poorly …

Links between hydrographic restriction, redox conditions, and organic matter accumulation in the Early Cambrian intrashelf basin, South China
W **ao, J Cao, Z Liao, X Wang, S Zhang - Gondwana Research, 2024 - Elsevier
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 …

Cambrian radiation speciation events driven by sea level and redoxcline changes on the Siberian Craton
The evolutionary processes of speciation during the Cambrian radiation and their potential
extrinsic drivers, such as episodic oceanic oxygenation events, remain unconfirmed. High …
