To constrain the paleo - positions of South China Cratons in Rodinia Supercontinent during Neoproterozoic, situ U Pb dating, and Hf isotope analysis detrital zircon from Nam Co Complex, Song Ma Suture zone, northwestern Vietnam was performed. The isotopic dating on zircons shows that Complex demonstrates major population (>50%) around ~850 while minor is scattered between ~1.2÷3.0 Ga. Neopro...

Late Neoproterozoic-Early Cambrian schists have been occurred in southwest of Zanjan city from the Soltanieh belt. The Soltanieh belt in northwest of Iran is uplifted basement of Precambrian-Paleozoic in main central Iran zone and includes outcrops of Precambrian, Paleozoic and Mesozoic Formations. Late Neoproterozoic-Early Cambrian schists, the oldest stratigraphy unit in the region, consist o...

Tintinnids are very common in all marine water and even fresh water. The oldest fossils of Tintinnids are not only appeared in Neoproterozoic Era, but also in Mesoproterozoic Calymmian. Eight species of six genera Tintinnids of Mesoproterozoic Calymmian, from Huangmailing Phosphoric Ore in Hubei Province of Central China, are illustrated in this paper. They are the oldest ancestor of Tintinnids...

Two separate and distinct diamictite-rich units occur in the mixed carbonate-siliciclastic PolarisbreenGroup, which comprises the top kilometer of47 km of Neoproterozoic strata in the northeast of the Svalbard archipelago.The platformal succession accumulated on the windward, tropical to subtropical margin of Laurentia.The older PetrovbreenMember is a thin glacimarine diamictite that lacks a ca...

Laterally extensive black shales were deposited on the São Francisco craton in southeastern Brazil during low-latitude Neoproterozoic glaciation approximately 740 to 700 million years ago. These rocks contain up to 3.0 weight % organic carbon, which we interpret as representing the preserved record of abundant marine primary productivity from glacial times. Extractable biomarkers reflect a comp...
