Statistical analysis of iron geochemical data suggests limited late Proterozoic oxygenation (2015, neutral): “(13) (12) (13) (9) (6) a b b bc ac Anoxic samples from above environments (n = 1,796)”
The case for a Neoproterozoic Oxygenation Event: Geochemical evidence and biological consequences (2011, background): “Canfield et al. (2007) presented evidence from a deep marine succession in Newfoundland that the proportion of highly reactive Fe versus total iron decreased to modern, oxic values after the ca. 580 Ma Gaskiers glaciation.”
Pulsed oxidation and biological evolution in the Ediacaran Doushantuo Formation (2008, background): “To further test the proposed linkages between redox changes and biological evolution (4, 5), we carried out a high-resolution chemostratigraphic and biostratigraphic investigation of the fossiliferous Doushantuo Formation in the Yangtze Gorges area, South China.”
Remarkable insights into the paleoecology of the Avalonian Ediacaran macrobiota (2015, neutral): “, 2003), with iron speciation data from Newfoundland suggesting a switch from ferruginous to oxic deep-marine conditions coincident with the termination of the glacial event (Canfield et al., 2007).”
Poriferan paraphyly and its implications for Precambrian palaeobiology (2007, background): “Canfield et al. (2006) suggested the deep ocean may have become oxygenated around the Gaskiers glaciation, c. 580 Ma. Oxidation of the Neoproterozoic DOC pool as discussed above must necessarily have resulted in a de-oxygenation of the ocean-atmosphere system, unless a different oxidant is invoked,…”
Mechanisms of mitochondrial fission and fusion. (2013, background): “It is tempting to speculate that the loss of inner membrane fission proteins was facilitated by a change in the environment, such as the dramatic increase in oxygen levels that more or less coincides with this time (Canfield et al. 2007), but other environmental factors have not been ruled out.”
Late Ediacaran redox stability and metazoan evolution (2012, background): “Together, the geochemical and paleontological records suggest a coordinated transition from low oxygen oceans sometime before the Marinoan (~635 Ma) ice age, through better oxygenated but still redox-unstable shelves of the early Ediacaran Period, to the fully and persistently oxygenated marine John”
