Stinging News: 'Dickinsonia' discovered in the Upper Vindhyan of India not worth the buzz

Joseph G. Meert et al.

Summary: A recent report claiming the discovery of Dickinsonia at the Bhimbetka rock shelters has implications for paleogeography and the age of the Upper Vindhyan. However, after visiting the site in December 2022, the authors found evidence that negates this claim. The so-called fossil resembles decayed parts of modern honeybee hives.

C-Sr-Pb isotope systematics of the carbonate sequences of Kaladgi Supergroup, India: Implications for basin evolution and correlation with Proterozoic global events

Bivin G. George et al.

Summary: The study confirms the binary evolutionary history of the Kaladgi Basin and the existence of a long duration depositional hiatus between the Bagalkot and Badami Groups. The C-O-Sr isotope studies indicate a dynamic organic carbon burial scenario in the Badami Group and a steady state organic carbon burial in the Bagalkot Group. The results also refute the claim that sedimentation in most of the Proterozoic basins of peninsular India ended by 1000 Ma.

Dickinsonia tenuis reported by Retallack et al. 2021 is not a fossil, instead an impression of an extant 'fallen beehive'

S. K. Pandey et al.

Summary: The biogenicity of the Dickinsonia tenuis specimens reported from the Maihar Sandstone by Retallack et al. (2021) was examined through field observations and laboratory analyses. The findings suggest that the reported objects are actually leftover impressions of fallen beehives. As a result, the inferences made about the age of the Maihar Sandstone and the paleogeographic position of India are considered invalid.

Enigma variations: characteristics and likely origin of the problematic surface texture Arumberia, as recognized from an exceptional bedding plane exposure and the global record

William J. McMahon et al.

Summary: Arumberia is an enigmatic sedimentary texture found in ancient strata, characterized by parallel ridges and grooves. It is believed to be the remains of extinct filamentous organisms, possibly microbial or algal, that lived in shallow water environments.

Arumberiaand other Ediacaran-Cambrian fossils of central Australia

Gregory J. Retallack et al.

Summary: The article describes problematic fossils found in the Late Ediacaran to Early Cambrian red sandstones of the Arumbera Sandstone, Grant Bluff, and Central Mount Stuart Formations in central Australia, and places them within a new systematic classification of Vendobionta. Re-examination of fossils like Arumberia banksi and Hallidaya brueri revealed misconceptions about their topological structures, leading to a better understanding of their nature. Additionally, new fossil records and a reevaluation of paleomagnetic and biostratigraphic data provided insights into the geological history of the region.

Vase-shaped microfossils from the late Ediacaran Dengying Formation of Ningqiang, South China: taxonomy, preservation and biological affinity

Shu Chai et al.

Summary: The study discusses the taxonomy, preservational types, and biological affinity of three-dimensionally preserved vase-shaped microfossils from the Gaojiashan biota in China. The analysis confirmed five species and two genera. SEM-EDS-BSE data provided solid evidence of the calcareous and agglutinated tests of these microfossils.

Phosphatic scales in vase-shaped microfossil assemblages from Death Valley, Grand Canyon, Tasmania, and Svalbard

Leigh Anne Riedman et al.

Summary: The prevalence of biomineralization around 550-520 million years ago is a significant development, with evidence of similar occurrences in different animal lineages and protists. The discovery of apatite-kerogen scale-shaped microfossils from the Tonian era suggests the presence of skeletal elements in ancient protistan cells, possibly related to the availability of phosphorus during that time.

Dickinsonia discovered in India and late Ediacaran biogeography

Gregory J. Retallack et al.

Summary: The discovery of Dickinsonia in India provides insight into biogeographic provinces and plate tectonic reconstructions during the late Ediacaran period. These fossils share similarities with specimens from Australia, indicating a connection between the two regions and shedding light on the geological history of the late Ediacaran.

Zhongwu Lan et al.

Summary: Integrated detrital zircon U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotope analyses in sedimentary rocks from central India reveal different age groupings of zircon grains, which match well with exposed magmatic and metamorphic rock components in the Northern India Block, providing crucial insights into crustal growth and plate tectonics evolution.
