Seawater redox variations during the deposition of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation, United Kingdom (Upper Jurassic): Evidence from molybdenum isotopes and trace metal ratios
[1] The Kimmeridge Clay Formation (KCF) and its equivalents worldwide represent one of the most prolonged periods of organic carbon accumulation of theMesozoic. In this study, we use themolybdenum (Mo) stable isotope system in conjunction with a range of trace metal paleoredox proxies to assess how seawater redox varied both locally and globally during the deposition of the KCF. Facies with low...
متن کاملOsmium isotope evidence for two pulses of increased continental weathering linked to Early Jurassic volcanism and climate change
Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are proposed to have caused a number of episodes of abrupt environmental change by increasing atmospheric CO2 levels, which were sub sequently alleviated by drawdown of CO2 via enhanced continental weathering and burial of organic matter. Here the sedimentary records of two such episodes of environmental change, the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event (T-OAE) and preced...
متن کاملThe Paleoproterozoic fossil record: Implications for the evolution of the biosphere during Earth's middle-age
The Paleoproterozoic (2.5-1.6 Ga) Era is a decisive time in Earth and life history. The paleobiological record (microfossils, stromatolites, biomarkers and isotopes) illustrates the biosphere evolution during a time of transitional oceanic and atmosphere chemistries. Benthic microfossil assemblages are recorded in a variety of oxygenated, sulfidic, and ferruginous environments representative of...
متن کاملA Cenozoic Seawater Redox Record Derived from U/u in Ferromanganese Crusts
Oceanic oxygen levels are projected to drop in certain areas due to warming climate, but the net effect to the overall ocean redox state is difficult to predict. Here we measured the “stable” uranium isotope composition (U/U) in globally representative hydrogenous ferromanganese crusts in order to reconstruct the redox evolution of the global ocean throughout the Cenozoic. Samples averaging 3 M...
متن کامل7 . 10 . 6 . Mo and U Geochemistry and Isotopes
The molybdenum and uranium isotopic systems can potentially be used to reconstruct the oxidation state of an ancient the global ocean as recorded in the FAR-DEEP samples. As previous studies have shown (e.g. Anbar et al. 2007; Kendall et al. 2010), the use of multiple proxies can help lift uncertainties and avoid the pitfalls associated with the use of a single redox proxy. Molybdenum is the mo...
