Organic molecular evidence in the Late Neoproterozoic Tillites for a palaeo-oceanic environment during the snowball Earth era in the Yangtze region, southern China

The Upper Neoproterozoic Nantuo and Jiangkou Formations in southern China have commonly been identified as the deposits of glaciations dating back to ~600 Ma and ~720 Ma, belonging to the Marinoan and Sturtian ice-ages, respectively, or the so-called snowball Earth events. In the present study, 44 t...
