identifying a paleosol. While this was prompted by the need for more stringent identification of Precambrian paleosols, it is applicable to paleosols of any...

billion years old. The "problematic" fossil Diskagma has been found in paleosols 2.2 billion years old. Structures proposed to represent "large colonial...

sediments are preserved as paleosols (fossilized soil), of which there were eight varieties, labelled A through H. Type A paleosols are sandy soils rich in...

sediments. Later, renewed sedimentation buried these soils to create paleosols. These paleosols are identified on the basis of the presence of structures and...

oldest of the Alfisol paleosol forest soils are in the paleosols of the Aztec Siltstone in Victoria Land, Antarctica. In the paleosols of the Aztec Siltstone...
