This volume presents a sample of views and visions among some of the growing numbers of Neoproterozoic workers. Editor(s): Xiao, Shuhai; Kaufman, Alan J. Series: Topics in Geobiology. Num Pages: 322 pages, 46 black & white illustrations, 2 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: RBX. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate.

The Neoproterozoic Era (1000–542 million years ago) is a geological period of dramatic climatic change and important evolutionary innovations. Repeated glaciations of unusual magnitude occurred throughout this tumultuous interval, and various eukaryotic clades independently achieved multicellularity, becoming more complex, abundant, and diverse at its termination. Animals made their first debut in the Neoproterozoic too. The intricate interaction among these geological and biological events is a centrepiece of Earth system history, and has been the focus of geobiological investigations in recent decades. The purpose of this volume is to present a sample of views and visions among some of the growing ... Read more
