Reconstructing Past Seawater Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca from Mid-Ocean Ridge Flank Calcium Carbonate Veins
Abstract
Cations in the Veins: Major events in Earth's history, from climate change to tectonic activity, can be revealed by reconstructing past conditions of the oceans. Clues from ancient ocean chemistry can be found in the cation content of fossilized microorganisms, marine carbonates, or salt deposits from old coastal zones. As these proxies are prone to inconsistencies between samples and methodologies, Coggon et al. (p. 1114 , published online 4 February; see the Perspective by Elderfield ) estimated past seawater composition from the geochemistry of resistant carbonate veins precipitated within fresh basalts on the sea floor. The sudden rise to modern-day levels of ocean magnesium:calcium and strontium:calcium ratios occurred about 24 million years ago, and can be explained by a decrease in seafloor hydrothermal activity combined with a decrease in river discharge.

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.
