U-Pb ages from the neoproterozoic Doushantuo Formation, China

TL;DR: U-Pb zircon dates from volcanic ash beds within the Doushantuo Formation (China) indicate that its deposition occurred between 635 and 551 million years ago, indicating synchronous deglaciation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fossil steroids record the appearance of Demospongiae during the Cryogenian period

TL;DR: It is suggested that shallow shelf waters in some late Cryogenian ocean basins contained dissolved oxygen in concentrations sufficient to support basal metazoan life at least 100 Myr before the rapid diversification of bilaterians during the Cambrian explosion.
Journal ArticleDOI

238U/235U Systematics in Terrestrial Uranium-Bearing Minerals

TL;DR: By accurately measuring the 238U/235U ratio in a suite of minerals representing a range of tectonic environments, Hiess et al. demonstrate that this ratio is more variable than was previously thought, highlighting the need for a revised approach to radiometric dating.

U-Pb zircon date from the Neoproterozoic Ghaub Formation, Namibia: Constraints on Marinoan glaciation

TL;DR: In this paper, U-Pb zircon geochronology of an ash layer constrains the deposition of the glaciomarine sediments to 635.5 ± 1.2 Ma, providing an age for what has been described as a "Marinoan-type" glaciation.
