Questioning the evidence for Earth's oldest fossils
- M. Brasier, O. Green, +5 authors N. Grassineau
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 7 March 2002
Structures resembling remarkably preserved bacterial and cyanobacterial microfossils from ∼3,465-million-year-old Apex cherts of the Warrawoona Group in Western Australia currently provide the oldest… Expand
Massive dissociation of gas hydrate during a Jurassic oceanic anoxic event
- S. Hesselbo, D. R. Gröcke, +4 authors O. Green
- Geology, Medicine
- Nature
- 27 July 2000
In the Jurassic period, the Early Toarcian oceanic anoxic event (about 183 million years ago) is associated with exceptionally high rates of organic-carbon burial, high palaeotemperatures and… Expand
Cretaceous-Tertiary Carbonate Platform Evolution and the Age of the India-Asia Collision along the Ladakh Himalaya (Northwest India)
- O. Green, M. Searle, R. I. Corfield, R. Corfield
- Geology
- The Journal of Geology
- 1 July 2008
The India-Asia collision resulted in the formation and uplift of the Himalaya and the enhanced uplift of the Tibetan plateau. The transition from marine to continental facies within the Indus–Yarlung… Expand
A fresh look at the fossil evidence for early Archaean cellular life
- M. Brasier, N. McLoughlin, O. Green, D. Wacey
- Biology, Medicine
- Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B…
- 29 June 2006
The rock record provides us with unique evidence for testing models as to when and where cellular life first appeared on Earth. Its study, however, requires caution. The biogenicity of stromatolites… Expand
Critical testing of Earth's oldest putative fossil assemblage from the ∼3.5Ga Apex chert, Chinaman Creek, Western Australia
- M. D. Brasier, O. Green, J. Lindsay, N. McLoughlin, A. Steele, C. Stoakes
- Geology
- 21 October 2005
Abstract Structures resembling cyanobacterial microfossils from the ca. 3465 Ma old Apex chert of the Warrawoona Group in Western Australia have until recently been accepted as providing the oldest… Expand
Ediacarian sponge spicule clusters from southwestern Mongolia and the origins of the Cambrian fauna
- M. D. Brasier, O. Green, G. Shields
- Geology
- 1 April 1997
Carbon and strontium isotopic data are used to show that the earliest sponge spicule clusters and associated phosphatic sediments (with Anabarites ) from southwestern Mongolia are of Ediacarian age.… Expand
On biogenicity criteria for endolithic microborings on early Earth and beyond.
- N. McLoughlin, M. Brasier, D. Wacey, O. Green, Randall S. Perry
- Biology, Medicine
- Astrobiology
- 3 April 2007
Micron-sized cavities created by the actions of rock-etching microorganisms known as euendoliths are explored as a biosignature for life on early Earth and perhaps Mars. Rock-dwelling organisms can… Expand
Earth's Oldest (∼ 3.5 Ga) Fossils and the `Early Eden Hypothesis': Questioning the Evidence
- M. Brasier, O. Green, J. Lindsay, A. Steele
- Biology
- Origins of life and evolution of the biosphere
- 1 February 2004
We question the biogenicity of putative bacterial andcyanobacterial `microfossils' from3465 Ma Apex cherts of the Warrawoona Group in WesternAustralia. They arechallenged on the basis of integrated… Expand
Photang thrust sheet: an accretionary complex structurally below the Spontang ophiolite constraining timing and tectonic environment of ophiolite obduction, Ladakh Himalaya, NW India
- R. I. Corfield, M. Searle, O. Green
- Geology
- Journal of the Geological Society
- 1 September 1999
The pre-collisional tectonic evolution of the north Indian continental margin is best recorded in the few ophiolite complexes preserved, the largest of which occurs in the Spontang area of the… Expand
The problem of deep carbon—An Archean paradox
- J. Lindsay, M. Brasier, +4 authors S. A. Mertzman
- Geology
- 15 December 2005
Black carbon-rich chert dikes are common features of early Archean terranes and are especially prominent on the Pilbara Craton of Western Australia. The dikes cut across the local stratigraphy before… Expand
