The controversial "Cambrian" fossils of the Vindhyan are real but more than a billion years older

The age of the Vindhyan sedimentary basin in central India is controversial, because geochronology indicating early Proterozoic ages clashes with reports of Cambrian fossils. We present here anintegrated paleontologic-geochronologic investigation to resolve this conundrum. New sampling of Lower Vind...
