Abstract Early faunas with Watsonella crosbyi with or without Aldanella spp. have been equated with the Siberian Tommotian Stage (uppermost Terreneuvian) and used to define a proposed Cambrian Stage 2 base. Much earlier Terreneuvian occurrences are now shown by recovery of these micromolluscs below the I’ carbon excursion in the Siberian ‘Nemakit-Daldynian’ Stage and comparable δ13C excursions in the middle Meishucunian (China) and middle Chapel Island Formation (Avalonia). This δ13C excursion… Expand

The Precambrian–Phanerozoic and Ediacaran–Cambrian boundaries: a historical approach to a dilemma
Abstract The Cambrian was originally defined as a rock interval with a trilobite-dominated fauna that overlay a presumed biologically barren Precambrian epoch. Work to formally define the Cambrian… Expand
Global correlation of the early Cambrian of South Australia: Shelly fauna of the Dailyatia odyssei Zone
A lack of well resolved biostratigraphic data has prevented robust regional and global correlation of lower Cambrian successions from South Australia. A new early Cambrian biostratigraphy, based on… Expand
Environmental setting of the Cambrian Terreneuvian rocks from the southwestern Yangtze Platform, South China
Abstract Terreneuvian strata from the western Yangtze Platform host diverse assemblages of small shelly fossils (SSFs), which are key for understanding the Cambrian Bioradiation Event and have been… Expand
Cambrian small skeletal fossil and carbon isotope records of the southern Huangling Anticline, Hubei (China) and implications for chemostratigraphy of the Yangtze Platform
Abstract Rich small skeletal fossil assemblages are described from the Yanjiahe Formation and Tianzhushan Member of southern Huangling Anticline. The Anabarites trisulcatus– Protohertzina anabarica… Expand
Watsonella crosbyi from the lower Cambrian (Terreneuvian, Stage 2) Normanville Group in South Australia
Abstract Correlation of lower Cambrian strata is often confounded by provincialism of key fauna. The widespread occurrence of the micromollusc Watsonella crosbyi Grabau, 1900 is therefore an… Expand
Early Cambrian chronostratigraphy and geochronology of South Australia
Abstract The most successful chronostratigraphic correlation methods enlist multiple proxies such as biostratigraphy and chemostratigraphy to constrain the timing of globally important bio- and… Expand
An integrated stratinomic model for the genesis and concentration of “small shelly fossil”-style phosphatic microsteinkerns in not-so-exceptional conditions
Abstract Carbonate fluorapatite-filled millimeter-scale microsteinkerns are a key element of the “Small Shelly Fossil” (SSF) fauna generally associated with the late Proterozoic–Cambrian. The… Expand

The recent article by Yang et al. (2014 provides a very useful summary of the litho- and biostratigraphy of the sub-trilobitic lower Cambrian on the tropical shelf of South China. Our concern with… Expand

Integrated chronostratigraphy of Proterozoic-Cambrian boundary beds in the western Anabar region, northern Siberia.
TLDR
Carbonate-rich sedimentary rocks of the western Anabar region, northern Siberia, preserve an exceptional record of evolutionary and biogeochemical events near the Proterozoic/Cambrian boundary, suggesting that this interval lasted approximately three to six million years, during which essentially all 'basal Tommotian' small shelly fossils evolved.
