A Whiff of Oxygen Before the Great Oxidation Event?
Abstract
High-resolution chemostratigraphy reveals an episode of enrichment of the redox-sensitive transition metals molybdenum and rhenium in the late Archean Mount McRae Shale in Western Australia. Correlations with organic carbon indicate that these metals were derived from contemporaneous seawater. Rhenium/osmium geochronology demonstrates that the enrichment is a primary sedimentary feature dating to 2501 +/- 8 million years ago (Ma). Molybdenum and rhenium were probably supplied to Archean oceans by oxidative weathering of crustal sulfide minerals. These findings point to the presence of small amounts of O2 in the environment more than 50 million years before the start of the Great Oxidation Event.

“Concentration spikes at 2.5 to 2.66 Ga ago in Mo, Se, and Re and isotopic excursions of Mo, Se, U, and N have been interpreted as arising from O2 transients or “whiffs” of O2 (110–113).”
From The Archean atmosphere (2020) · cites this paper as [110]
In the citing paper
“More recent studies, most of which were driven by the emergence of redox-sensitive trace element proxies, suggest a more complex and dynamic evolution scenario for pO2 (7–11).”

In the citing paper
“Strong Re and Mo enrichments and coupled Mo-Fe isotope data were interpreted as evidence for oxidative weathering of sulfide-bearing minerals on the continents, and thus the evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis as early as ca. 2.6 Ga (Anbar et al., 2007; Kendall et al., 2010; Czaja et al., 2012; Stüeken et al., 2015b).”

In the citing paper
“Irrespective of the causes for the delay in the rise of atmospheric O2, by 2.5 Ga we see evidence for oxygen accumulation in the atmosphere from the Mt. McRae Shale in Western Australia, recording transient oxidised conditions now widely known as the 'whiff' of oxygen (Anbar et al., 2007).”

In the citing paper
“They attributed d 238 U values above average upper crustal values that coincide with Mo and Re enrichments (Anbar et al., 2007) to be indicative of the oxidative mobilization of U, possibly within the water column itself.”

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.
