Mackinawite partial oxidation to green rust produces a large, abiotic uranium isotope fractionation by Romain Guilbaud, Morten B. Andersen, Helen M. Freeman, Jeffrey Paulo H. Perez, David Uhlig, Liane G. Benning

“…Abstract Low-oxygen settings and transition zones between strictly anoxic and oxic conditions may have characterised large expanses of Precambrian continental margins, where oxygen-breathing, complex life emerged and diversified. Accurate reconstructions of oxygen levels in such conditions are therefore required, but current geochemical proxies fail in identifying transitional redox conditions. …”
