Ediacaran negative C-isotopic excursions associated with phosphogenic events: Evidence from South China

The Yangtze platform of South China preserves relatively continuous strata of the Ediacaran Period and has been one of the key areas to explore Neoproterozoic Earth history. In this study, high-resolution carbon isotope (δ13C) and oxygen isotope (δ18O) data of 701 samples were reported for sedimentary rocks spanning the entire Ediacaran Period using a continuous drill core collected from Wangji, South China. The C-isotopic data of the Doushantuo...
