In western Rajasthan, India, the Jodhpur Sandstone of the Marwar Supergroup has yielded a new Ediacaran fossil assemblage comprising macroscopic well-preserved specimens of Aspidella, Hiemalora , large Ediacaran discs, Tirasiana disciformis, Medusinites asteroides, Anfesta -like Ediacaran body fossils and microbial mat structures ( Arumberia banksi, Kinneyia mat structures, wrinkle mat structures and other mat structures). The fossil record allows suggesting a broad correlation with the Fermuse Formation, Newfoundland, South Australia, White Sea of Russia and Norway, and regionally correlated with the Bhander Group of Vindhyan Supergroup and Krol Group of Lesser Himalaya.

Cloudina -morph fossils in Siberia have been traditionally regarded as a taphonomic mode of Anabarites tests inserted one into another under specific hydrodynamic conditions. Clusters of telescoped conical tests are ubiquitous in the Kessyusa Group and coeval strata across Siberia and not all of them can be easily interpreted as a result of simple mechanical stacking. It remains to be confirmed whether any of these clusters actually represents a life association of a Cloudina -morph structure.

The Asha Group of the South Urals, initially erected by Albert Olli as Palaeozoic sedimentary complex, more than half a century ago was considered as a key section for the Vendian (Ediacaran) of the western slope of the South Urals. However, the ca. 1700 m-thick terrigenous sedimentary sequence is characterised by unusual low biodiversity of Ediacaran macrofossils, which might be explained by relatively young age of the Asha Group and possible mass extinction event in the end of Ediacaran Period. The relatively young age was confirmed by the U-Pb zircon date of 547.6±3.8 Ma obtained from the tuff in the lower part of the Basa Formation as well as finding of ichnospecies Didymaulichnus tirasensis in the upper part of Zigan formation. However, in 2018 it has been documented there the mass appearing of D. tirasensis in the lowermost part of the Basa Formation. Therefore, the Vendian (Ediacaran) age of the Asha Group of the South Urals can be revisited in favour to terminal Ediacaran- Cambrian or even early Cambrian.

Mercury enrichments in the black shale unit of the Ediacaran Doushantuo Formation are, likely the result of volcanic input or anoxia-driven mercury deposition. If the Hg enrichments are volcanic in origin, or are due to synchronous regional anoxia, then the patterns of Hg enrichment are consistent with the conventional correlation of these units, with the tripartite units equivalent to Member IV black shales. Additionally comparing redox proxy data from the intervals of Hg enrichment could indicate if the enrichments are due to comparable changes in redox conditions, or increased Hg input under differing redox conditions, consistent with volcanic input.

The oryctocephalid trilobites from the traditional ‘lower-middle Cambrian’ represent key tools for international correlation. The trilobite zones in South China around the Cambrian Series 2-Miaolingian are made using oryctocephalids. One of the trilobite zones suggested is based on Protoryctocephalus arcticus. Protoryctocephalus from the Balang area in South China was described as Protoryctocephalus wuxunensis , also from the Cambrian Series 2 of South China. However, Protoryctocephalus from Balang shows different morphological features such as different glabellar shape, presence of a transglabellar S1 and more segments in the trunk. These features match with Protoryctocephalus arcticus from the Cambrian Series 2 of Greenland.
