An expanded shale δ98Mo record permits recurrent shallow marine oxygenation during the Neoarchean
Ostrander, Chadlin; Kendall, Brian; Olson, Stephanie; Lyons, Timothy; Gordon, Gwyneth; Romaniello, Stephen; Zheng, Wang; Reinhard, Christopher; Roy, Moutusi; Anbar, Ariel (Elsevier, 2020-01-20)Multiple attempts have been made using the ancient shale record to track the molybdenum isotope composition (δ98Mo) of seawater during the final two-hundred million years of the Archean Eon (2.7 to 2.5 billion-years-ago, ... -
A Model for the Oceanic Mass Balance of Rhenium and Implications for the Extent of Proterozoic Ocean Anoxia
Sheen, Alex I.; Kendall, Brian; Reinhard, Christopher T.; Creaser, Robert; Lyons, Timothy W.; Bekker, Andrey; Poulton, Simon W.; Anbar, Ariel (Elsevier, 2018-04-15)Emerging geochemical evidence suggests that the atmosphere-ocean system underwent a significant decrease in O2 content following the Great Oxidation Event (GOE), leading to a mid-Proterozoic ocean (ca. 2.0–0.8 Ga) with ... -
New constraints on mid-Proterozoic ocean redox from stable thallium isotope systematics of black shales
Li, Zijian; Cole, Devon B.; Newby, Sean M.; Owens, Jeremy; Kendall, Brian; Reinhard, Christopher (Elsevier, 2021-12-15)Stable thallium (Tl) isotope data from organic-rich siliciclastic sedimentary rocks have the potential to track ocean redox state on a broad scale. Here, we report new Tl isotope data from the Mesoproterozoic Velkerri ... -
Technical comment on “Reexamination of 2.5-Ga ‘whiff’ of oxygen interval points to anoxic ocean before GOE”
Anbar, Ariel; Buick, Roger; Gordon, Gwyneth; Johnson, Aleisha; Kendall, Brian; Lyons, Timothy; Ostrander, Chadlin; Planavsky, Noah; Reinhard, Christopher; Stueken, Eva (Science, 2023-04-07)Many lines of inorganic geochemical evidence suggest transient “whiffs” of environmental oxygenation before the Great Oxidation Event (GOE). Slotznick et al. assert that analyses of paleoredox proxies in the Mount McRae ... -
Trace elements at the intersection of marine biological and geochemical evolution
Robbins, Leslie J.; Lalonde, Stefan V.; Planavsky, Noah J.; Partin, Camille A.; Reinhard, Christopher T.; Kendall, Brian; Scott, Clint; Hardisty, Dalton S.; Gill, Benjamin C.; Alessi, Daniel S.; Dupont, Christoper L.; Saito, Mak A.; Crowe, Sean A.; Poulton, Simon W.; Bekker, Andrey; Lyons, Timothy W.; Konhauser, Kurt O. (Elsevier, 2016-12-01)Life requires a wide variety of bioessential trace elements to act as structural components and reactive centers in metalloenzymes. These requirements differ between organisms and have evolved over geological time, likely ... -
Transient episodes of mild environmental oxygenation and oxidative continental weathering during the late Archean
Kendall, Brian; Creaser, Robert; Reinhard, Christopher T.; Lyons, Timothy W.; Anbar, Ariel (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2015-11-20)It is not known whether environmental O2 levels increased in a linear fashion or fluctuated dynamically between the evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis and the later Great Oxidation Event. New rhenium-osmium isotope data ...
