Abstract

Abstract Ooids from the Mesoarchaean Chobeni Formation, Pongola Supergroup, KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa are older than any ooids reported to date. They are made of dolomite and ankerite and show concentric, radial‐concentric, micritic, and radial fabrics. Radial ooids are interpreted to have originated from high‐Mg‐calcite and probably formed by microbial activity in a low‐energy regime, while concentric ooids had an aragonite precursor and formed biotically under agitated/high‐energy environmental conditions. Micritic ooids formed via the recrystallization of concentric ooids. Ooids and other allochems, such as intraclasts and peloids, contain carbonaceous matter. The close association of carbonaceous matter within ooid cortices with metabolically important elements, such as N, S and P, as identified by nano‐scale secondary ion mass spectrometry analysis, allows us to propose a biologically induced origin for some ooids. By analogy with modern examples, a variety of microbial communities probably played a role in carbonate precipitation and ooid formation. Shale‐normalized rare earth element ( REE ) distribution patterns of ooids and other allochems show positive La SN , Gd SN and Y SN anomalies, superchondritic Y/Ho ratios and depleted light rare earth elements ( LREE s) relative to the heavy rare earth elements ( HREE s), which resemble those of seawater. These anomalies are less pronounced than expected for an open marine setting, which is interpreted as evidence for deposition in restricted shallow marine environments. Non‐seawater REE patterns in recrystallized matrix and pore‐ and vein‐filling carbonate likely reflect redistribution of rare earth elements during post‐depositional alteration and/or reflect differences in the elemental and REE compositions of diagenetic fluids.

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.
