Length of day (l.o.d.) values deduced from fossils and tidal deposits suggest that the despinning rate was, on the average, about 5 times smaller during the Proterozoic than during the Phanerozoic and, moreover, that between ...
Fossils and tidal deposits as well as the possibility to compute values of the lunar tidal torque for different geological epochs allow us to model the variations in time of the Earth's figure, assuming that the latter ...
