Diamond is not a common rock-forming mineral (an exception being “diamondite”; see
Jacob and Mikhail 2022, this volume) nor a common crustal mineral (the exceptions being …

The evolution of eukaryotes represents one of the most fundamental transitions in the history
of life on Earth; however, there is little consensus as to when or over what timescale it …

The~ 1.6 Ga Tirohan Dolomite of the Lower Vindhyan in central India contains phosphatized
stromatolitic microbialites. We report from there uniquely well-preserved fossils interpreted …

Although the geological record indicates that eukaryotes evolved by 1.9–1.4 Ga, their early
evolution is poorly resolved taxonomically and chronologically. The fossil red alga …

A common view in Himalayan geology is that differences in detrital zircon age distributions
and whole-rock neodymium isotopic compositions (εNd) distinguish lithotectonic zones …

The utility of paleomagnetic data gleaned from the Bhander and Rewa Groups of the
“Purana-aged” Vindhyanchal Basin has been hampered by the poor age control associated …

The Sausar Mobile Belt at the southern margin of the Central Indian Tectonic Zone (CITZ) is
a key unit in constraining the timing of continent–continent collision between the North and …

Abstract Fluoride (F−), a harmful compound if present in high concentration, is typically
found in groundwater. It is important to investigate the F− concentrations in groundwaters of …

Proterozoic sedimentary successions of India are important archives of both the tectonic
history of the Indian subcontinent and the geochemical evolution of Earth surface processes …

Major, trace and rare earth element (REE) concentrations were measured for 88 shale
samples from the Paleoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic Vindhyan Supergroup in central India …
