A tectonically driven 60 million-year biogeochemical redox cycle paces marine biodiversity

Abstract The fossil record shows a prominent 60 million-year biodiversity cycle during the Phanerozoic Eon, the origin of which is still unknown. Here we use time-series analysis and correlation of empirical and model datasets of Earth’s interior and surficial processes to demonstrate that this cycl...
