Macroscopic and microscopic sedimentary, mineralogical and geochemical features of the C barite show an early diagenetic origin. Studies suggest that there occurred sea-level fall during the middle and the terminal Doushantuo depositional period, which caused slow depositional rates or pauses (or the major breaks) in the sedimentation and oxidation of buried organic materials and the input of mass terrigenous sediments. A turn- over of the deepwater environment related to the sea-level fall resulted in biotic extinction and radiation in early Ediacaran. Field observations in the study area revea
