Speciation of iron-bearing minerals in marginal siliciclastic sedimentary rocks suggests that anoxic bottom waters were common on shelf and slope environments but were buffered by dissolved Fe2+ rather than hydrogen sulfide, termed ferruginous conditions.
“The speciation of iron-bearing minerals in marginal siliciclastic sedimentary rocks (Guilbaud et al. 2015, Planavsky et al. 2011, Poulton et al. 2010, Sperling et al. 2015) suggests that anoxic bottom waters were common on shelf and slope environments but were buffered by dissolved Fe 2+ rather than hydrogen sulfide (termed ferruginous conditions).”

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.
