Eukaryotic organisms in Proterozoic oceans (2006, background): “Published radiometric dates constrain Bangiomorpha only to the interval 1267G2 to 723G 3 Myr, but an unpublished Pb–Pb date of 1198G 24 Myr and physical stratigraphic relationships strongly suggest that the fossils’ age lies close to the lower radiometric boundary (Butterfield 2000).”
The Geological Succession of Primary Producers in the Oceans (2007, background): “Bangiomorpha pubescens (Butterfield 2000) is a large FIGURE 8.”
A vaucheriacean alga from the middle Neoproterozoic of Spitsbergen: implications for the evolution of Proterozoic eukaryotes and the Cambrian explosion (2004, background): “A gap of 600–700 million years simply does not accord with the known potential for developmentally sophisticated, sexually reproducing eukaryotes to undergo rapid, coevolutionary change (see, e.g., Butterfield 2000; Poole et al. 2003).”
Clay minerals interaction with microorganisms: a review (2017, background): “Fungi and algae appeared possibly 1 and ∼1.6 billion years ago, respectively (Butterfield, 2000; Lücking et al., 2009), but prokaryotes had appeared much earlier, 3.8–4.1 billion years before present (Battistuzzi et al., 2004; Schopf, 2006).”
Evolutionary Trajectories and Biogeochemical Impacts of Marine Eukaryotic Phytoplankton (2004, background): “Xanthophyte fossils in uppermost Mesoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic rocks (Butterfield 2000, German 1990) indicate that secondary endosymbiosis followed relatively closely on the heels of primary events.”
The hierarchical structure of organisms: a scale and documentation of a trend in the maximum (2001, background): “If the cells of the attachment structure of the Butterfield et al. (1990) algae are differentiated (Butterfield 2000), then the organism has at least two cell types, and therefore occupies level 3b in the permissive view.”
Why is the Land Green and the Ocean Red (2004, background): “…Ma old shales of Siberia share numerous features with extant species of the xanthophyte genus Vaucheria (German 1990; Woods et al. 1998), and recently discovered populations in ca. 800 million year old rocks from Spitsbergen preserve nearly the complete vaucherian life cycle (Butterfield 2000).”
Biomineralization and Evolutionary History (2003, positive): “Large populations of filamentous fossils, preserved in ca. 1200 million year old cherts from northern Canada, display patterns of cell differentiation and division that relate them to extant bangiophyte red algae (Butterfield 2000).”
Shallow-water Desmophyllum dianthus (Scleractinia) from Chile: characteristics of the biocoenoses, the bioeroding community, heterotrophic interactions and (paleo)-bathymetric implications (2005, background): “2 billion years) deposits in Arctic Canada, thus displaying on of the oldest taxonomically resolved eukaryotes in the fossil record (Butterfield et al. 1990; Butterfield 2000).”
Early evolution of the Eukaryota (2015, background): “6); unlike simple uniseriate Grypania, its precisely regulated sequence of transverse, then longitudinal, then reproductively palintomic cytokinesis lies entirely outside the repertoire of prokaryotic organisms (Butterfield 2000).”
