Stratigraphic investigations of carbon isotope anomalies and Neoproterozoic ice ages in Death Valley, California
An unusual richness of biogeochemical events is recorded in Neoproterozoic– Cambrian strata of the Death Valley region, California, United States. Eight negative carbon isotope (d13C) excursions are found in carbonate units between 1.08 Ga and the Precambrian/Cambrian boundary; four of these excursions occur in carbonates that contain textural features similar to those found globally in postgla...
متن کاملBiological Influences on Seafloor Carbonate Precipitation
The sedimentary record reveals first-order changes in the locus of carbonate precipitation through time, documented in the decreasing abundance of carbonate precipitation on the seafloor. This pattern is most clearly recorded by the occurrence of seafloor carbonate crystal fans (bladed aragonite pseudomorphs neomorphosed to calcite or dolomite), which have a distinct temporal distribution, ubiq...
متن کاملDeep valley incision in the terminal Neoproterozoic (Ediacaran) Johnnie Formation, eastern California, USA: Tectonically or glacially driven?
Neoproterozoic sedimentary successions worldwide display evidence for multiple low-latitude glacial events and continental rifting episodes related to the fragmentation of the supercontinent Rodinia. In Death Valley, eastern California, these events are represented by two intervals of glacial diamictite and two episodes of synsedimentary extensional faulting in the Kingston Peak Formation. Deep...
متن کاملA complex microbiota from snowball Earth times: microfossils from the Neoproterozoic Kingston Peak Formation, Death Valley, USA.
A thin carbonate unit associated with a Sturtian-age ( approximately 750-700 million years ago) glaciogenic diamictite of the Neoproterozoic Kingston Peak Formation, eastern California, contains microfossil evidence of a once-thriving prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial community (preserved in chert and carbonate). Stratiform stromatolites, oncoids, and rare columnar stromatolites also occur. ...
