80% of the continental crust was produced during the 4.0–2.0 Ga time span, but the
preserved area of Archean/early Paleoproterozoic cratons is smaller than 40%. Part of this …

The high Brazilian dependence on potash fertilizers has encouraged the agricultural and
forestry use of silicate rock powders. Dozens of rock powders, including glauconitic rocks …

We combine U–Pb in-situ carbonate dating, elemental and isotope constraints to calibrate
the synergy of integrated mountain-basin evolution in western Gondwana. We show that …

Abstract The Ediacaran-Cambrian Bambuí Group in Brazil records an anomalously positive
excursion in carbonate carbon isotopes (δ 13 C carb) with a sustained plateau of ca.+ …

The index ichnofossil Treptichnus pedum Seilacher 1955 and four types of Microbially
Induced Sedimentary Structures (MISS)-variants of wrinkle and elephant skin structures–are …

The late Ediacaran record encompasses frequent occurrences of 34 S-enriched pyrites,
which can surpass the coexisting sulfate isotope values. Deciphering what controls this …

The final consolidation of southwestern Gondwana during the Ediacaran–Cambrian resulted
in the formation of a large landmass originally surrounded by the newborn Panthalassic …

The Neoproterozoic carbonate rocks of the Araras Group (Amazon Craton) and the Sete‐
Lagoas and Salitre Formations (São Francisco Craton) share a statistically indistinguishable …

The São Francisco craton and its surrounding orogens are some of the most important
tectonic elements of South America, and key regions to understanding the assembly of …

Abstract The Ediacaran-Cambrian transition interval is described for the west part of the
Gondwana Supercontinent. This key interval in Earth's history is recorded in the upper and …
