Highly fractionated chromium isotopes in Mesoproterozoic-aged shales and atmospheric oxygen [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 There is a long standing debate whether low atmospheric oxygen levels during the Mesoproterozoic Era hindered the evolution of crown-group animals. Here, the authors show with shale-hosted chromium isotopes that sufficient atmospheric oxygen for crown ...

Biogeochemical cycling of chromium and chromium isotopes in the sub-tropical North Atlantic Ocean
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Chromium (Cr) is a redox-sensitive element and because Cr isotopes are fractionated by redox and/or biological processes, the Cr isotopic composition of ancient marine sediments may be used to infer changes in past seawater oxygenation or biological ...

Modeling the marine chromium cycle: new constraints on global-scale processes [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2021 Chromium (Cr) and its isotopes hold great promise as a tracer of past oxygenation and marine biological activity due to the contrasted chemical properties of its two main oxidation states, Cr(III) and Cr(VI), and the associated isotope fractionation ...

A systematic look at chromium isotopes in modern shells – implications for paleo-environmental reconstructions [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2018 The chromium isotope system (53Cr ∕ 52Cr, expressed as δ53Cr relative to NIST SRM 979) in marine biogenic and non-biogenic carbonates is currently being evaluated as a proxy for the redox state of the ocean.
