The Great Oxidation Event began between 2.4 and 2.3 Ga and ended ~2.1 to 2.0 Ga ago.
“The Great Oxidation Event (GOE) thus began, which ended ~2.1 to 2.0 Ga ago (9, 10).”

These O2 levels would have only been attained when the O2 flux from the burial of organic carbon exceeded the kinetically efficient sink from O2-consuming gases from volcanism and metamorphism plus fluxes of reducing cations such as Fe2+ from seafloor vents.

Hypotheses for a slowly decreasing O2 sink to the GOE tipping point rely on a decline in the ratio of reduced-to-oxidized species from volcanic, metamorphic, and hydrothermal sources.

The ca. 2.22-2.10 Ga Lomagundi carbon isotope excursion may, together with the Cr enrichment and Cu isotope changes in early Palaeoproterozoic sediments, be a manifestation of acid-driven dissolution and the first sedimentary cycle of oxidative weathering.
“Thus the ca. 2.22-2.10 Ga Lomagundi carbon isotope excursion may, together with the Cr enrichment and Cu isotope changes in early Palaeoproterozoic sediments, be a manifestation of acid-driven dissolution and the first sedimentary cycle of oxidative weathering (Holland, 2002; Bekker and Holland, 2012).”

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.
