Detrital Zircon Analysis of the Sedimentary Record
TL;DR: A review of the use of detrital zircones for interpreting the stratigraphic record, and thus, the past surface conditions of Earth can be found in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a suite of Proterozoic sediments from China, Australia, and North America, interpreted in the context of data from similar depositional environments from Phanerozoic time, were used to find evidence for inhibited oxidation of chromium at Earth's surface in the mid-Proteozoic (1.8 to 0.8 billion years ago).
Supplementary Materials for Low Mid-Proterozoic atmospheric oxygen levels and the delayed rise of animals

TL;DR: Evidence for inhibited oxidation of Cr at Earth’s surface in the mid-Proterozoic is found, suggesting that atmospheric O2 levels were at most 0.1% of present atmospheric levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nature and timing of Franklin igneous events, Canada: Implications for a Late Proterozoic mantle plume and the break-up of Laurentia
TL;DR: In this article, the UPb baddeleyite/zircon ages for gabbro sills and diabase dykes emplaced during Franklin igneous events in northern Canada were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavior of major and trace elements (including REE) during Paleoproterozoic pedogenesis and diagenetic alteration of an Archean granite near Ville Marie, Québec, Canada
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a complete set of chemical data from a pre-2.0-Ga weathering profile that formed on the Archean granite near Ville Marie, Quebec.
