This allowed the team to judge their predictions over 500 million years using a mix of geochemical proxies and testing totally different tectonic and climatic reconstructions. The geoscientists then in contrast the predicted sediment pulses to the evolution of life in both the marine and terrestrial realms obtained from a compilation of paleontological knowledge. “It is thru calibration of this bodily reminiscence etched within the Earth’s skin with genetics, fossils, climate, hydrology and tectonics by which we now have investigated our hypothesis,” Dr Salles said.
