  5. Dr. Jay Kaufman of the University of Maryland, who provided this sample, interprets these to be microbial sulfate reduction spots on the bedding surface of the Neoproterozoic (Cryogenian) Santa Helena Formation of the Bambui Group in south-central Brazil. The microbial spots show clear cores and cortices, which notabl...

Data taken from this section and a discussion of the general Neoproterozoic geology of Death Valley can be found in a GSA Bulletin article by Corsetti and Kaufman (2003). To see these ooids in cross s...

The elephant skin is interpreted as the remains of a microbial mat on which, or beneath which, Ediacara organisms lived. This sample was contributed by Dr. Jay Kaufman of the Un...

  9. Writes Dr. Jay Kaufman of University of Maryland, who contributed this sample: "I had been told that there was pyrobitumen (crystallized oil) as a replacement for ooids in some levels of the Turkut Formation in the Olenek Uplift of arctic Siberia. In the field, I found an abundance of different breccias within the T...
