In the citing paper
“Petrographic, geochemical, sedimentological, and isotopic data all suggest rapid and effective production, stabilization, and delivery of manganese mineral phases to sediments during the deposition of the Sinqeni Formation (Ossa Ossa et al. 2016, 2018;Planavsky et al. 2014).”

“However, recent geochemical evidence based on chromium isotopes suggests that Proterozoic O2 was quite low (perhaps <0.1% of PAL) (Planavsky et al., 2014b; Lyons et al., 2014), while biogeochemical modeling studies of sulfate cycling in the ancient ocean suggest that CH4 was also much lower (1–10 ppm) (Olson et al., 2…”

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.
