These cap dolostones were rapidly deposited during global synchronous deglaciation, being a superb depositional window into the immediate glaciation aftermath and suitable for investigating the icehouse-hothouse transition in this period. However, some aspects of this transition are still unclear, such as the timing of primary productivity recovery. Aiming to explore this question, we present new sedimentological, trace element, and Sr-Cr-Cd isotope data for the Puga cap dolostone in the Southern Paraguay Belt (Brazil), here termed Morraria do Sul Formation. The cap dolostone overlies diamictites, siltstones with outsized clasts, and basement rocks. It is divided into a basal dolograinstone and an upper tubestone-microbialite succession, with abundant vertical tube-like structures. The diamictites and siltstones were formed in a glaciomarine setting, within the range of ice-rafted debris. The basal dolograinstone facies of the cap dolostone was formed under high-energy post-glacial conditions, and the overlying tubestone-microbialite facies was deposited in a low-energy, well-lit environment. Rare earth elements and yttrium (REY) preserved the original seawater-like pattern, displaying true negative Ce anomalies down to 0.84, indicating oxygenated shallow waters. The cap dolostone displays relatively high <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr ratios, up to 0.7123, above the assumed value for the Early Ediacaran seawater, suggesting the influence of meltwater plumes in a salinity-stratified setting.

Our investigation encompasses the composition of water and suspended particulate matter (SPM) samples collected in three separate periods (pre-monsoon: PrM, monsoon: M and post-monsoon: PoM) over two consecutive years, surface sediments, exchangeable phases of surface and suspended sediments, one sediment core, urban and industrial effluent waters and ground waters. The observed dissolved Mo concentrations in the estuary are in excess of those expected from conservative mixing of seawater and river water. The “excess” Mo values, observed in the mid-to-high salinity regions (4–27 ‰) for four out of the six study periods, are the highest in the monsoon samples. The bulk and exchangeable phase compositions are supportive of release of Mo from the Fe-Mn oxyhydroxide phases of the SPM and surface sediments in the estuary. Mass balance calculations indicate that Mo release from the SPM and surface sediments can account for up to 40 % of the median value of the “excess” Mo in the estuary. The compositions of the sediment core provide evidence for the mobilization of Mo and its release to porewater due to reductive dissolution of Fe-Mn oxyhydroxides. The tidally induced sediment resuspension likely facilitates the transport of porewater Mo to the overlying water.

Herein, we present a comprehensive analysis of graphite and associated phases from meta-phosphorites of the Huangmailing Formation in the South Dabie Orogen to assess possible preservation of biosignatures. Stratigraphic correlations and previous geochronological data suggest that the protoliths of Huangmailing Formation was deposited in the Ediacaran, and was metamorphosed during the Triassic Dabie Orogeny as documented by our apatite U&lt;img&gt;Pb dating. Microcrystalline graphite occurs both as inclusions within metamorphic minerals like apatite, and as matrix-hosted disseminations at grain boundaries of other phases. Bulk organic carbon isotopic analyses yield δ&lt;sup&gt;13&lt;/sup&gt;C values between −26.0 ‰ and − 15.2 ‰ and total organic carbon contents from 0.33 to 3.27 wt%. Raman spectra of the two types of graphites yield an average peak metamorphic temperature of 452 °C and 473 °C, consistent with the upper greenschist facies to lower amphibolite facies metamorphic conditions in the area. However, the matrix graphites show a wider range of peak temperature variations, likely containing graphitic carbon with lower crystallinity that was affected by retrograde metamorphic fluids. Notably, two prominent Raman bands at around 325 cm&lt;sup&gt;−1&lt;/sup&gt; and 395 cm&lt;sup&gt;−1&lt;/sup&gt; are observed for the graphite hosted in apatite. This, along with the presence of a peak at 2473 eV in the sulfur &lt;em&gt;K&lt;/em&gt;-edge XANES spectra of some graphite in apatite, and the co-occurrence of &lt;sup&gt;12&lt;/sup&gt;C and &lt;sup&gt;14&lt;/sup&gt;N and local association of &lt;sup&gt;32&lt;/sup&gt;S with &lt;sup&gt;12&lt;/sup&gt;C in graphite inclusions determined by TOF-SIMS, suggest the possible presence of C-S-Fe and N-bearing compounds and functional groups. TEM and EDS analysis reveal that graphite inclusions in apatite are closely associated with amorphous silica, and mainly occur as well crystallized, polygonal grains around 100 to 200 nm across and has an expanded (002) lattice spacing between 3.43 Å and 3.64 Å. This lattice expansion is attributable to the presence of heteroatoms such as S, Fe and Si, and N, in the graphene interlayers. In contrast, matrix graphites exhibit a wider range of structural and compositional variations than their counterpart as inclusion in apatite, which probably arise from interactions with metamorphic fluids or incorporation of fluid-deposited graphitic carbon. Our study documents the ubiquitous preservation of biological carbon as graphite inclusions in apatite from Huangmailing meta-phosphorites, likely as a result of metamorphic recrystallization of organic-bearing Ediacaran phosphorites. This suggests that the organic matter trapped in sedimentary apatite during their co-precipitation or early diagenesis was probably less modified during metamorphic recrystalliz","PeriodicalId":9847,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Geology","volume":"673 ","pages":"Article 122519"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142815783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These mechanisms lead to high ionic concentrations in tree island groundwater and potential supersaturation conditions with respect to calcite and aragonite. The precipitation of calcium carbonate minerals (caliche) within tree island soils may lead to cementation, providing greater soil stability. Although calcrete layers have been observed at depth in some tree island soils of the Florida Everglades, their method of formation has yet to be discerned. The main objective of this study was to determine if varying hydrologic conditions are conducive to calcium carbonate formation in Everglades tree islands. This investigation was conducted at the Loxahatchee Impoundment Landscape Assessment (LILA), a large physical model of Everglades' tree islands in Florida, USA. Eight tree islands were investigated across four mesocosms for nine years (2014–2023). For the first 4 years, all tree islands were exposed to similar hydrologic conditions as determined by an operational hydrograph with pre-determined seasonal variations in water levels. In the 5th year (2018 to present), the hydrograph was altered such that two mesocosms (containing 4 tree islands) were exposed to more a constrained range in water levels varying about 0.4 m (4.4–4.8 m NGVD29; constrained) on a seasonal basis, while the other two mesocosms (also containing 4 tree islands) continued to experience the larger range in seasonal water levels of about 0.6 m (4.4–5.1 m NGVD29; unconstrained). The geochemical characteristics of groundwater and soils in LILA tree islands were investigated under the two hydrologic regimes. A combination of groundwater saturation indices, soil profiles, scanning electron microscopy, and Electron Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy were utilized to locate and identify calcium carbonate mineral formation. Groundwaters exhibited persistent supersaturated conditions with respect to calcium carbonate minerals within tree islands subjected to the larger variation in water levels and within tree islands that contained clay. Both calcite and aragonite were found in the tree island soils. Rhombohedral calcite, aragonite needles, and calcium carbonate globules, which may be composed of crystalline or amorphous calcium carbonate, were observed in soils collected 1 m below the mean groundwater table (0.40 m), where shell surfaces, other limestone grains and silica grains served as nucleation sites. The main processes responsible for the calcium carbonate formation include evapotranspiration and seasonal flooding which leads to an accumulation of ions in the groundwater to supersaturation conditions. However, soil composition which influences hydrologic properties and the ease or inhibition of groundwater – surface water interactions also played a role in sustaining supersaturation conditions.

However, there is currently limited evidence of Mercury (Hg) enrichment directly from volcanic sources in terrestrial strata, necessitating evidence from different regions and latitudes to confirm the relationship between volcanism and changes in terrestrial environments and biotas. To explore this connection, we conducted a comprehensive analysis integrating astronomical cycles to provide a temporal framework, Hg concentrations, and Hg isotopes from terrestrial strata in the Yiyang Coalfield, located in the southern North China Plate (NCP). Our high-resolution astronomical timescale reveals that in the low latitude NCP the PTME commenced on land with the end-Permian Terrestrial Collapse (EPTC) which preceded the marine mass extinction by approximately 270 kyr and was latitudinally diachronous. The EPTC commenced in high-to-mid latitudes (75–30°S), then approximately 100–430 kyr later spread through different mid-to-low latitude regions (60–20°N) into equatorial paleolatitudes (10°N–0°). Hg isotopic results show that the initial Hg enrichment peak during the EPTC originated from terrestrial weathering and wildfire combustion rather than directly from volcanism, whereas the three subsequent Hg enrichment peaks over a 500 kyr interval following the EPTC originated directly from volcanism. This temporal coupling suggests that terrestrial ecosystems exhibited greater sensitivity and a more rapid response to global warming than marine ecosystems. Stratigraphic correlations show the early eruptive phase of the Siberian Traps Large Igneous Province (STLIP) led to gradual collapse of terrestrial ecosystems from high to low latitudes as they responded to increasingly warmer and more stressed conditions. The main eruptive phase of the STLIP, potentially augmented by contemporaneous widespread volcanism, may have ultimately led to the final collapse of terrestrial ecosystems and marine extinctions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9847,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Geology","volume":"673 ","pages":"Article 122555"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142858006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
