Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of the global phosphorus cycle
Christopher T. Reinhard,Noah J. Planavsky,Benjamin C. Gill,Kazumi Ozaki,Kazumi Ozaki,Leslie J. Robbins,Timothy W. Lyons,Woodward W. Fischer,Chunjiang Wang,Devon B. Cole,Kurt O. Konhauser +10 more
TL;DR: A compilation of phosphorus abundances in marine sedimentary rocks spanning the past 3.5 billion years is presented and it is found that a combination of enhanced phosphorus scavenging in anoxic, iron-rich oceans and a nutrient-based bistability in atmospheric oxygen levels could have resulted in a stable low-oxygen world.
Journal ArticleDOI
A shale-hosted Cr isotope record of low atmospheric oxygen during the Proterozoic
Devon B. Cole,Christopher T. Reinhard,Xiangli Wang,Bleuenn Gueguen,Galen P. Halverson,Timothy M. Gibson,Malcolm S.W. Hodgskiss,N. Ryan McKenzie,N. Ryan McKenzie,Timothy W. Lyons,Noah J. Planavsky +10 more
TL;DR: Evidence for a delayed rise of atmospheric oxygen strongly suggests that environmental factors have played a fundamental role in controlling the emergence and expansion of complex life on Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new estimate of detrital redox-sensitive metal concentrations and variability in fluxes to marine sediments
TL;DR: In this article, an extensive study of soils across the continental United States and their elemental concentrations was conducted, and the authors found large deviations from accepted crustal averages in redox-sensitive metals (Fe, Cr, U, V) compared to typical detrital tracers (Al, Ti, Sc, Th).
Journal ArticleDOI
On the co-evolution of surface oxygen levels and animals.
Devon B. Cole,Daniel B. Mills,Douglas H. Erwin,Douglas H. Erwin,Erik A. Sperling,Susannah M. Porter,Christopher T. Reinhard,Noah J. Planavsky +7 more
TL;DR: Views from across this interpretive spectrum are presented—in a point–counterpoint format—regarding crucial aspects of the potential links between animals and surface oxygen levels to disentangle the relationships between oxygen availability and emergence and diversification of animal life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persistent global marine euxinia in the early Silurian.
Richard G. Stockey,Devon B. Cole,Noah J. Planavsky,David K. Loydell,Jiří Frýda,Erik A. Sperling +5 more
TL;DR: The authors use a metal isotope mass balance model and find the marine anoxia event lasted over 3 million years, notably longer than the anoxic event associated with the Permian-Triassic extinction and Cretaceous ocean anoxic events.
