Seawater redox variations during the deposition of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation, United Kingdom (Upper Jurassic): evidence from molybdenum isotopes and trace metal ratios [PDF]
The Kimmeridge Clay Formation (KCF) and its equivalents worldwide represent one of the most prolonged periods of organic carbon accumulation of the Mesozoic.

Mid‐Ocean Ridge (MOR) Ash Dispersal on Axial Seamount, Juan de Fuca Ridge
Abstract Rare eruption of primitive normal mid‐ocean ridge basalt (N‐MORB) magma (∼9.5 wt% MgO) on the summit of Axial Seamount generated abundant ash that was dispersed for several km. The unique geochemical signature of this ash deposit is distinct from otherwise typical MORB with more evolved compositions. As such, it is a key marker bed that can be

Functional diversity of marine ecosystems after the Late Permian mass extinction event [PDF]
Article can be accessed from http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/v7/n3/full/ngeo2079.htmlThe Late Permian mass extinction event was the most severe such crisis of the past 500 million years and occurred during an episode of global warming.

Abstract This study presents a non‐destructive geochemical and petrographic workflow to generate high‐resolution chemostratigraphic records across key stratigraphic intervals, exemplified by a terrestrial Cretaceous‐Paleogene (K‐Pg) boundary sequence preserved at Starkville South (Raton Basin, Colorado, USA).

The Upper Silesian Coal Basin (USCB), located in southern Poland, is the major coal basin in Poland, and all technological types of hard coal, including coking coal, are exploited. It is also an area of high potential for coal-bed methane (CBM).

a new Pc-C boundary section [PDF]
The widespread, terminal Ediacaran Dengying Formation (~ 551–~ 542 Ma) of South China hosts one of the most prominent negative carbonate carbon isotope excursions in Earth's history and thus bears on the correlation of the Precambrian–Cambrian boundary ...

Abstract Variations in Earth's orbit and axial tilt induce climatic changes which are recorded in sedimentary deposits. The frequencies of these cyclical variations are integer combinations of the main secular frequencies of the solar system. Analyzing these cycles in sedimentary records can help establish an astronomical time scale for the geological ...

Quantitative and Nuanced Approaches Elucidate Carbon Isotope Records
Earth scientists have leveraged carbon isotope records to interpret Earth history and establish chronostratigraphic frameworks for decades (e.g., Halverson et al., 2005, https://doi.org/10.1130/b25630.1; Kaufman & Knoll, 1995, https://doi.org/10.1016 ...

Evolution of the South Pacific's Iron Cycle Over the Cenozoic
Abstract Iron (Fe) availability impacts marine primary productivity, potentially influencing the efficiency of the biological carbon pump. Stable Fe isotope analysis has emerged as a tool to understand how Fe is sourced and cycled in the water column; however its application to sediment records is complicated by overlapping isotope signatures of ...
