Cycles of nutrient trace elements in the Phanerozoic ocean
Open accessAbstract
Redox sensitive and nutrient trace element (TE) concentrations in the palaeo-ocean have commonly been interpreted to rise abruptly toward the end of the Neoproterozoic, and remain relatively constant through the Phanerozoic. This pattern has been considered to relate to a second stage of Earth oxygenation, resulting in, or a consequence of, the Cambrian explosion of life. Here we present a comprehensive dataset on the trace element content of marine sedimentary pyrite that defines several TE concentration cycles, on 70 to 120 million year wavelengths, with amplitude variations of several orders of magnitude. The cycles, which start in the Neoproterozoic and are best developed through the Paleozoic, have a similar pattern to the ocean 87Sr/86Sr record, suggesting that continental erosion and nutrient supply maybe a first order driver of the TE cycles. Molybdenum, thallium, selenium, cadmium, antimony and 87Sr/86Sr pattern. The contrasting pattern of cobalt, which is demonstrated on all scales from a few million to a billion years is most probably due to its decrease in solubility under conditions of increasing oxidation. This opposite behavior to the other TE, implicates oxygenation as a second order driver of the redox sensitive TE cycles, and enables the tentative construction of an oxygenation curve for the Phanerozoic.

Assessments of pyrite versus matrix incorporation, sulfide recrystallization, and formation site, plus further studies, indicate that the pyrite record can preserve seawater signatures.
“Large et al. (2014) also provided an assessment of the importance of pyrite versus matrix trace element incorporation, sulfide recrystallization, and the location in the water column or sediment where pyrite forms, which suggest the record is favorable to recording seawater signatures; a result further supported by several additional studies (Gregory et al., 2014;Large et al., 2015;Mukherjee and”

“Between these periods of change, TE concentrations are assumed to vary little due to an absence of direct constraints on composition of the palaeo-ocean and also a lack of detailed knowledge on atmosphere pO2 variations (Lyons et al., 2014).”

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.
