Large-scale slope instability at the southern margin of the Ediacaran Yangtze platform (Hunan province, central China)

Thirteen stratigraphical sections from the Doushantuo Formation, Hunan province, central China, indicate large-scale mass wasting of the Yangtze platform margin between the late Neoproterozoic glaciation and the earliest Cambrian. Numerous sedimentary discontinuities, due to regional slides, olistos...
