Precambrian banded iron-formations: palaeoceanographic, palaeoclimatic, and palaeobiologic implications
Principal Investigator: Aubet, Natalie
Licensed Year(s): 2011 2010
Summary: The research purpose is intended to better resolve the climatic and oceanic chemical conditions that ultimately led to the origins of animal life and the Cambrian explosion by focusing on the exceptionally well-preserved ancient banded iron formations from the Rapitan Group (NWT, Canada) and the overlying carbonate units.
