Abstract

The massive Fe and Mn deposits of the Urucum district (Banda Alta Formation) and the iron formations from Fazenda São Manoel (Puga Formation) in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, are associated with glacigenic deposits and represent the youngest and largest sedimentary Fe and associated Mn formation (IF;MnF) deposits of Cryogenian age in the world. The Urucum district IFs studied are predominantly composed of pure classical plane-parallel and stratified hematite–chert–iron - and intercalated manganese (cryptomelane) micro- and mesobands, whereas the IFs at Fazenda São Manoel are closely associated with diamictites and shales. Although the precise depositional age is unknown, maximum age constraints for the Puga IFs are defined by the youngest detrital zircon with an U-Pb age of 706 ± 9 Ma (Babinski et al., 2013), a result which we here confirm by a U-Pb age of the youngest zircon of 695 ± 17 Ma from within shaly beds in the Urucum district IF succession. Redox-sensitive trace element signatures and tendency to hump-shaped Rare Earth Element + Yttrium (REY) patterns with negative Ce- but without Eu anomalies support the presence of an oxic surface water layer, fertilized by low temperature hydrothermal fluids injected from submarine thermal springs and/or, alternatively, by significant fresh water input directly derived from glacial meltdown. Strongly positively fractionated, authigenic chromium isotope signatures (average δ53Cr = 1.10 ± 0.4‰; n = 16; 2σ) prevailing throughout the entire stratigraphic section indicate that riverine supply of continentally-derived Cr, remained more or less constant throughout the glacier meltdown and IF depositional period. Cycling across a redoxcline and predominant deposition of the IF in anoxic deeper seawater of the Jacadigo basin is supported by the peculiar presence of subchondritic Y/Ho ratios, by decreased negative Ce anomalies and by shifts of LREE patterns towards higher values in the Urucum district IFs that are independent of detrital contamination. The strongly positively fractionated Cr isotope signatures measured in these iron formations are compatible with those from other iron formations and black shales deposited during the late Neoproterozoic and Precambrian-Cambrian transition worldwide and are in support of prevailing high atmospheric O2 levels following the late Neoproterozoic glaciations that accompanied the evolution of macroscopic multicellular organisms.

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.
