Stratigraphy and environmental conditions of the terminal Neoproterozoic-Cambrian Period in Oman: evidence from sulphur isotopes

Abstract: Terminal Neoproterozoic and Cambrian evaporite rocks worldwide record a marked sulphur isotope excursion to very heavy [delta]^sup 34^S isotopes that reflect a period of significant burial of reduced sulphur. New [delta]^sup 34^S data from anhydrite and pyrite of the Ara Group in Oman extend this record to Arabia. Depositional history of the Ara Group spans c. 8 Ma across the terminal Neoproterozoic-Cambrian boundary. Therefore, these rocks provide a detailed record of sulphur isoto...

Evidence for anoxia at the Ediacaran-Cambrian boundary: the record of redox-sensitive trace elements and rare earth elements in Oman
Journal of the Geological Society ; Abstract: The Ediacaran-Cambrian boundary in Oman is characterized by a globally correlative negative δ13C^sub carb^ excursion in platform carbonate rocks, and deposition of basinal organic-rich rocks. These observations may relate to the development of local, and possibly global, anoxia. We
