    abstract = "Acritarchs in the sedimentologically continuous, shallow-marine, Upper Vendian - Lower Cambrian subsurface sequence of the Lublin Slope, East European Platform (EEP), Poland are abundant and well-preserved. Forty-five form-species were recovered, and their taxonomic status is revised. Three new form-genera are erected. Asteridium n.gen. and Heliosphaeridium n. gen. include species with solid and hollow processes, respectively, previously referred to Micrhystridium Deflandre. Globosphaeridium n.gen. includes acritarchs with solid processes formerly attributed to Baltisphaeridium Eisenack. The genus Skiagia is emended. Microfossil preservation yields information on the thermal history of the Lublin basin. The acritarch succession in the Lublin Slope forms the basis for a new Lower Cambrian zonation, in ascending order the Asteridium tornaturn - Comasphaeridium velvetum, Skiagia ornata - Fimbriaglomerella membranacea, Heliosphaeridium dissimilare - Skiagia ciliosa, and Volkovia dentifera - Liepaina plana Assemblage-zones. A significant radiation at the upper part of the Włodawa Formation and within the Mazowsze Formation involves taxa of the Asteridiumtornatum - Comasphaeridium velvetum assemblage taken to mark the Pre cambrian-Cambrian boundary. The Kaplonosy IG-1 drillcore is proposed as reference section for the boundary. The Upper Vendian - Lower Cambrian biostratigraphy in Poland is revised. The Sabellidites-Vendotaenia Interval-zone is proposed, the range of the Platysolenites antiquissimus Zone is revised, and the Holmia kjerulfi Assemblage-zone is recognized. The Protolenus zone remains as an informal zone. Parts of the investigated sequence are correlated with the Schmidtiellus mickwitzi Zone elsewhere. The early Cambrian Mobergella Zone and the Klimontovian Stage are rejected. The Precambrian-Cambrian boundary is discussed in light of acritarch evidence from sequences in the East European, Baltoscandian, Siberian, South China and Avalon Platforms. The acritarch zone contemporaneous with the earliest trilobite zone in the Baltoscandian Platform and the EEP embraces part of the Tommotian and Meishucunian strata in Siberia and China. Units underlying the Tommotian in Siberia may be Cambrian. Lower Cambrian rocks of the EEP, the Baltoscandian Platform, and the Scandinavian Caledonides, are correlated on the basis of acritarchs.",

The duration of the gap is about 0.8 to 1.1 Ga in the Sayan Uplift and at least 0.9 Ga in the Baikal Uplift. We suggest that the absence of major geological activity in this interval might be due to the southern margin of Siberia occupying an internal position within a Transproterozoic supercontinent, that is, a fragment of Nuna that did not disperse until the late Neoproterozoic breakup of Rodinia. The absence of Mesoproterozoic--early Neoproterozoic sedimentary successions in southern Siberia could possibly be explained by their removal by erosion. Ediacaran subsidence following the breakup of Rodinia may reflect the solidification of magma chambers that fed Neoproterozoic mafic dike swarms. We suggest that a combination of these factors (dike emplacement and erosion) has a significant influence on global tectonics, controlling the uplift and subsidence of ancient cratons.",

The sources of clastic material for the studied sediments are interpreted. The youngest group of detrital zircon grains from the upper Baikal Group and Ushakovka Formation permits assigning these sediments to the Vendian. The lack of Mesoproterozoic detrital zircon in most of the analyzed samples confirms the hypothesis of a global (\textasciitilde 1 Gyr) break in endogenic activity within the southern flank of the Siberian craton through the Precambrian. The abundance of Neoproterozoic zircon in sandstones from the upper horizons of the Baikal Group and the Ushakovka Formation might be due to the shrinkage of the ocean basin as a result of the convergence of the craton with the microcontinents and island arcs within the Paleoasian ocean.",

    abstract = "Early diagenetic chert nodules and beds in the upper Mesoproterozoic Angmaat (formerly Society Cliffs) Formation, Baffin and Bylot islands, preserve microfossils and primary petrofabrics that record microbial mat deposition and lithification across a range of peritidal carbonate environments. Five distinct microfossil assemblages document the distribution of mat-building and mat-dwelling populations across a gradient from restricted, frequently exposed flats to more persistently subaqueous environments. Mats built primarily by thin filamentous or coccoidal cyanobacteria give way to a series of more robust forms that show increasing assemblage diversity with decreasing evidence of subaerial exposure. Distinct fabric elements are associated with each microbial assemblage, and aspects of these petrofabrics are recognizably preserved within unsilicified carbonate in the same beds. These include some features that are distinctly geologic in nature (e.g., seafloor cements) and others that reflect microbial growth and decomposition (e.g., tufted microbialites). A particularly distinctive, micronodular fabric is here interpreted as carbonate infilling of primary voids within microbial mat structures. Such structures mark the co-occurrence of cyanobacterial photosynthesis that produced oxygen gas, filamentous mat builders that imparted the coherence necessary to trap gas bubbles, elevated carbonate saturation required to preserve void fabrics via penecontemporaneous cementation, and a relative paucity of detrital sediment that would have inhibited mat growth. Petrofabrics preserved in Angmaat samples are widespread in upper Paleoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic carbonate successions but are rare thereafter, perhaps recording, at least in part, the declining carbonate saturation state of seawater. Covariation of microfossil assemblages with petrofabrics in both silicified and unsilicified portions of carbonate beds supports hypotheses that link stromatolite microstructure to the composition and diversity of mat communities.",

Softbodied Ediacaran biota (Beltanelliformis) occur before the start of the late Ediacaran positive carbon isotope plateau (EPIP), a mixed Ediacaran and Cambrian skeletal biota (Cloudina, Anabarities, Cambrotubulus) appear within the EPIP, and diverse Cambrian-type small shelly fossils including Protohertzina and other protocondonts, halkieriids, chancelloriids, hyoliths, hyolithelminthes and the burrowing trace fossil (Diplocraterion) appear at the beginning of the BACE. These integrated data show that taxa attributed to so-called Ediacaran and earliest Cambrian skeletal biotas in fact overlap without notable biotic turnover, and thus refute the presence of a large isotope excursion coincident with mass extinction of all Ediacaran biota. We propose a new biozone, the Cloudina-Namacalathus-Sinotubulites Assemblage Zone, to precede the known small shelly fossil (SSF) zones. These observations raise doubts as to whether there is any true separation between the Ediacaran and Cambrian skeletal biotas, and suggest that there is a deep root for the Cambrian Explosion of metazoans.",

    abstract = "The Ni/Co, La/Sc, and Th/Cr ratios (indicators of composition of rock complexes eroded on paleodrainages) typical of the South Urals Riphean fine-grained clastic rocks, as well as the CIA, Rb/Al, K/Al, and K/Rb values (indicators of intensity of terrestrial chemical weathering), are compared with data provided by G. Bayon, I.N. Bindeman, A. Trinquier, G.J. Retallack, and A. Bekker in the paper “Long-Term Evolution of Terrestrial Weathering and Its Link to Earth’s Oxygenation” (Earth Planet. Sci. Lett., 2022, v. 584, 117490). It is shown that the Rb/Alav value (0.0014 ± 0.0006, n = 66) typical of the South Urals clayey rocks together with other data indicates a relatively low intensity of chemical weathering on paleodrainages for more than 1.10 billion years (from \textasciitilde 1.75 to \textasciitilde 0.60 Ga). This is in agreement with data of Bayon et al. (2022). Our material gives grounds to suggest that the composite world K/Al, Rb/Al, and K/Rb curves suggested by Bayon et al. (2022), as well as the curves for the South Urals Riphean clayey rocks, are comparable. Thus, the lithogeochemical characteristics of the fine-grained clastic/clayey rocks of a Riphean stratotype significantly expand our knowledge on processes of terrestrial chemical weathering in a range of 1.75–0.60 Ga.",
