Did the formation of the Great Unconformity trigger oxygenation and the Cambrian explosion?
Principal Investigator: Macdonald, Francis A
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: This proposal aims to constrain the timing, magnitude, and spatial heterogeneity of erosion that lead to development of the Great Unconformity (GU) to test hypotheses for oxygenation and the Cambrian explosion. The GU is one of the most geologically significant and largest temporal gaps in the rock record, marking the boundary between Precambrian and Phanerozoic time. It has been proposed that ero...
