Deposits Page 1 Annu. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci. 1994.22:499-551 Copyright © 1994 by …

Deposition of marine black shales has commonly been interpreted as having involved a
high level of marine phytoplankton production that promoted high settling rates of organic …

Modern low-oxygen marine systems exhibit patterns of molybdenum–uranium covariation
that can be linked to specific attributes and processes of the depositional system, including …

Biomarkers are compounds found in crude oil with structures inherited from once-living
organisms. They persist in oil spills, refinery products and archaeological artifacts, and can …

Sedimentary molybdenum,[Mo] s, has been widely used as a proxy for benthic redox
potential owing to its generally strong enrichment in organic‐rich marine facies deposited …

Introduction to Geomicrobiology is a timely and comprehensive overview of how microbial
life has affected Earth's environment through time. It shows how the ubiquity of …

The second edition of The Biomarker Guide is a fully updated and expanded version of this
essential reference. Now in two volumes, it provides a comprehensive account of the role …

Enrichments in reactive iron occur under euxinic marine conditions, that is, where dissolved
sulfide is present in the water column. These enrichments result primarily from the export of …

An abrupt transition from oxic to anoxic–sulfidic (euxinic) marine bottom waters occurred in
the Cariaco Basin in response to increasing productivity resulting from the late Pleistocene …

A modelling exercise was undertaken to evaluate the positive (preservational) and negative
(diluent) effects of sedimentation rate (SR) on the total organic carbon (TOC) content of …
