The assumption that δ238U data can be used as a proxy to track changes in global open ocean paleoredox conditions has been challenged by studies showing that sea level changes, local productivity, and basin restriction also control δ238U variability.
“The assumption that δ238U data can be used as a proxy to track changes in global open ocean paleoredox conditions has been challenged by studies, which show that sea level changes [e.g., (44)], as well as local productivity and basin restriction [e.g., (45)], also control δ238U variability in the sedimentary record.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
