Organic-rich black shales can be used to reconstruct ancient ocean Mo isotope compositions if these sediments record the isotopic composition of contemporaneous seawater. Comparison of δ98/95Mo in two Devonian shale sequences of similar age, the New York Oatka Creek and Geneseo Formations, reveals that this assumption cannot be applied to all organic-rich shales. Although both sequences contain laminated intervals, elevated organic carbon, and enrichments of redox-sensitive metals, the mean δ98/95Mo differs systematically between the formations by ~0.59‰. Independent paleoredox indicators reveal that portions of the Oatka Creek Formation were deposited under pervasively euxinic (anoxic and sulfidic) conditions, whereas conditions during deposition of the Geneseo Formation were intermittently euxinic to suboxic (oxygen deficient but not sulfidic in the water column). We infer that reconstruction of ancient ocean δ98/95Mo from organic-rich shales requires independent verification of persistent local euxinia. With these considerations in mind, our data point to δ98/95Mo in the Devonian oceans ~0.6‰ lighter than in today's oceans, consistent with expanded anoxia.

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.
