Extensive ichnologic and sedimentologic datasets were gathered from six localities (Fortune Head, Fortune North, Grand Bank Head, Lewin's Cove, Little Dantzic Cove, and Point May) of the Ediacaran-Cambrian Chapel Island Formation at Burin Peninsula, southeastern Newfoundland, eastern Canada. 1708.2 m of sedimentary strata were logged at a centimeter scale (1:40) using a Jacob staff, in addition to 11.

Trace fossils, which are the products of animals interacting with their substrates, provide a key record of the diversification of the benthos and the evolution of behavioral complexity through this interval. The Chapel Island Formation of Newfoundland in Canada hosts the most extensive trace-fossil record from the latest Ediacaran to Cambrian Age 2, spanning about 20 million years continuously.

Here, we investigated the antioxidant potential of selected inactivated non-Saccharomyces yeast (INSY) along with related chemical fingerprints, using combined untargeted UHPLC-Q-ToF MS and DPPH analyses. 4 INSY species were compared to a reference inactivated Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (ISY) selected for its high antioxidant capacity.
