Following a decade during which its presence was widely accepted, the existence of the
putative Ediacaran supercontinent Pannotia has come into question since the turn of the …

Asia is key to a richer understanding of many important lithospheric processes such as
crustal growth, continental evolution and orogenesis. But to properly decipher the secrets …

In this study we use detrital zircons to probe the Early Paleozoic history of NE Iran and
evaluate the link between sediment sources and Gondwanan pre-Cadomian, Cadomian …

Recent reconnaissance geological map**, identification of unconformities and
chronostratigraphic dating of Miaolingian to Ordovician strata in the eastern Alborz …

Using Gondwana as an example, we show how the geological record can be interrogated to
detect significant changes in mantle convection patterns at critical junctures in Earth's …

Proxies such as mercury and Hg/TOC anomalies document signatures for temporal
correlations between major pulses of the Late Ordovician mass extinction (LOME) event and …

The Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the northern margin of Gondwana is inferred to comprise
several episodes of continental breakup and ocean opening. However, the timing and …

The distribution of conventional subichnofacies in deep‐water fan systems (ie Ophiomorpha
