Abstract
Many palynological studies of Cambrian to Quaternary (≤ 570 Ma) sediments have shown that an ‘abundance’ of prasinophyte algae is strongly correlated with the occurrence of marine (shelf and oceanic) organic-rich finely-laminated sediments deposited under dysoxic to anoxic conditions (Appendix B). This appears to be more than a preservational effect.
