To evaluate the extent of equilibrium, we have applied the dual clumped isotope proxy (Δ₄₇ and Δ₄₈) to surface sediments (aragonite &gt; 90 %, <em>n</em> = 150) ranging from mudstones (&lt; 63 μm) to non-skeletal grainstones from the Great Bahama Bank. While there is no statistical difference in the mean Δ₄₇ values of the various facies, there are very large ranges of Δ₄₇ values within each type (∼ 0.1 ‰) equivalent to a temperature uncertainty of 25 °C. Our Δ₄₈ data reveals an out-of-equilibrium state where the muddy sediments have more positive values than the equilibrium, while the grainy facies are more negative. The positive Δ₄₈ disequilibrium in the muds is proposed to be a result of the photosynthetic removal of CO₂ caused by the activity of cyanobacteria turns promotes the precipitation of calcium carbonate in the water column (whitings area). In contrast, the grainstones, that are mainly composed of peloids, show a negative Δ₄₈ disequilibrium resulting from the CO₂ absorption by a complex mixture of biogeochemical processes.

Here, we reexamine the purported OOE-A through an integrative study of correlative successions across the shelf-to-basin transect in South China, along with records from other continents. Sedimentary and geochemical evidence, including iron speciation, RSE concentrations, organic carbon isotopes, and pyrite sulfur isotopes, collectively suggest an oxic shelf and an anoxic (intermittently euxinic) basin with a fluctuating chemocline around the upper slope environment in South China. Importantly, a diffusion-reaction model integrating sedimentation rates and authigenic RSE concentrations suggests that the discrepancies in RSE enrichment levels between the basal Ediacaran black shales of South China and northwestern Canada can be reconciled if seawater Mo and U concentrations were only 0.5–3 % and 1.5–6 % of their modern values, respectively. This finding contradicts the traditional viewpoint of the expansion of seawater RSE reservoirs in response to a widely oxygenated ocean, while emphasizing a non-negligible role of slow sedimentation rate in driving authigenic RSE enrichments in anoxic marine facies locally. From spatial and temporal perspectives, this study further refines the magnitude of the OOE-A in South China, characterizing it as a short-lived oxygenated shelf environment in a redox-stratified ocean.

A striking feature of hydrothermal dolomite bodies is the pattern development and periodicity of zebra textures, whereby alternating units of replacement dolomite (RD) and saddle dolomite (SD) form symmetrical RD-SD/SD-RD patterns. Zebra textures are often considered to be diagnostic of these elevated P/T conditions, but the roles of mechanical deformation and the localization of strain during dolomitization have received limited attention. Here we evaluate the effect of P/T perturbations on the genesis of zebra textures, alongside how strain-hardening mechanisms promote their characteristic pattern development. Published fluid inclusion homogenization and carbonate clumped isotope temperatures were compiled from the literature and the offset between these data were used as a geobarometer. Based on these pore-fluid pressures, a series of rock deformation experiments were conducted to reproduce zebra textures in the laboratory. Cylindrical rock samples were held in an annealed copper jacket and deformed in axisymmetric extension. As the rock underwent tensile failure, the copper jacket locally deformed by intracrystalline plasticity, strain-hardened, and stabilized each opening-mode fracture. As a result, a succession of closely spaced fractures formed along the length of the sample. In natural geological settings, an analogous process is inferred, whereby dilatancy hardening, precipitation hardening, and the stress shadow effect promote the rhythmicity that is a defining feature of zebra textures. Lastly, the effects of P/T perturbations on the solubility of dolomite, for a range of different fluid compositions, were evaluated using the Pitzer aqueous model in PHREEQC.

At present there is no agreement as to whether the observed kinematics should be described using a large number of microplates or by continuous deformation. The two approaches are combined here, by dividing the region into four large deformable patches whose relative velocity consists of two parts: a rigid rotation about a pole and a continuous distributed deformation. This description of the kinematics allows reconstruction of the past geography of the region and its elevation to be made relative to Eurasia taken to be fixed. The resulting displacements agree reasonably well with independent estimates of the displacements on the North and East Anatolian Faults, the length of the subducted slabs beneath the Aegean and Western Turkey, and paleomagnetic measurements of rotation. The principal force driving the deformation is the release of gravitational energy by the subduction of old oceanic lithosphere and rollback of the Hellenic Arc, not continental spreading.

Here, we use a new coupled surface process and orographic precipitation model to test this hypothesis, and to assess the extent to which orographic precipitation effects have modulated the influence of tectonics on Himalayan topography since the Neogene (<em>circa</em> 23 million years ago). The model is quantitatively constrained by observed topographic profiles, river profiles, precipitation profiles, erosion rates, and thermochronologic ages from eight major rivers. Results indicate that propagating rock uplift allows a maximum “no erosion” elevation of ∼20 km, and largely governs the formation of the present-day topography of the Himalayas, with a secondary role played by orographic-rainfall-influenced fluvial processes as suggested by erosion/uplift ratios of 60−70%.

Here we analyzed barium isotopic compositions (δ¹³⁸Ba) together with other geochemical proxies within marine carbonates from the Gaoyuzhuang Formation (∼1570 Ma) of the Yanliao Basin, North China Craton. Our δ¹³⁸Ba values are similar to those of modern marine pelagic barite, but are lower and less scattered compared to modern seawater δ¹³⁸Ba compositions. We interpret these new δ¹³⁸Ba data to reflect the δ¹³⁸Ba composition of early Mesoproterozoic seawater, at least at the sediment-water interface. Moreover, we do not observe any clear fluctuations in δ¹³⁸Ba values coincident with carbonate δ¹³C excursions. We interpret these observations as a response to the accumulation of dissolved barium in the low-sulfate Mesoproterozoic ocean and thus, a buffering of δ¹³⁸Ba against significant variation in response to local factors such as primary productivity which influence modern marine δ¹³⁸Ba profiles. Moreover, our calculations estimate a ratio of ≈ 4:1 of continental weathering to hydrothermal activity based on a steady-state box model.

We address this issue via a high-resolution paleoenvironmental analysis of a ∼1305 m thick terrestrial succession from the Asian interior (Gonjo Basin, Southeast Tibet). Cyclostratigraphic analysis of element abundance data, combined with a published magnetostratigraphy, allows us to establish an astronomical timescale spanning the latest Cretaceous to early Paleocene (∼69.4 Ma to ∼58.5 Ma) and investigate climatic variations at an orbital time-scale. We show that the paleoenvironment of the Gonjo Basin underwent two key transitions, with a shift from braided river conditions to floodplain-dominated conditions at ∼68.8 Ma, followed by a return to braided river conditions with likely high seasonality at ∼63.5 Ma. Eccentricity and obliquity forcing exerted a strong control on the regional hydrological cycle. We show that the relative strength of obliquity was likely amplified compared to coeval marine records. Obliquity may have modulated meridional heat and moisture transport into the Asian interior, which, combined with feedbacks from quasi-stable carbon reservoirs, mediated hydroclimate.
