Heterogenous oceanic redox conditions through the Ediacaran-Cambrian boundary limited the metazoan zonation
Abstract Recent studies have enhanced our understanding of the linkage of oxygenation and metazoan evolution in Early Cambrian time. However, little of this work has addressed the apparent lag of animal diversification and atmospheric oxygenation during this critical period of Earth history. This st...
