- W4310291211 abstract "A Tremadocian (Early Ordovician, base Stairsian North American Stage) mass extinction event is recorded globally in rocks from several ancient continents and is accompanied by a globally correlated positive carbon isotope excursion (CIE; the largest during the Early Ordovician). In this study, elemental concentrations and uranium isotope compositions (δ238U) were measured for carbonate samples from three sections (along a proximal-to-distal transect: Ibex area, Shingle Pass, Meiklejohn Peak, respectively) in the Great Basin to test the role of ocean anoxia/euxinia on the base Stairsian mass extinction event. Dysoxic/suboxic to oxic water columns and non-sulfidic porewaters are inferred for these sections based on multiple local redox proxies (e.g., Mo/Al, U/Al, Mo and U concentrations, Mo/U ratios). Carbonate δ238U data exhibit different δ238U trends in the three sections. The proximal Ibex area exhibits a small negative δ238U excursion (a magnitude of 0.2–0.3‰) and the Shingle Pass section has one sample with unusually low δ238U, in both cases within the middle of the CIE. Samples with the lowest δ238U in each section also have the highest Mn/Sr ratios, suggesting diagenetic alteration associated with adsorption of isotopically light U onto Mn oxides, followed by dissolution of Mn oxides by reducing porewaters and capture of the isotopically light U by sediments. The distal Shingle Pass and Meiklejohn Peak sections better preserve global ocean signals and the limited δ238U variations in these sections imply no significant changes in global seawater δ238U and thus no significant changes in the extent of global ocean euxinia. Given the non-sulfidic porewaters inferred for these carbonates, we apply a sediment–seawater δ238U offset of 0–0.27‰ (the 0.27 ± 0.14‰ isotopic offset observed for modern Bahamas carbonates with sulfidic porewaters is used as a maximum constraint) to the average carbonate δ238U from the two distal sections (−0.48 ± 0.09‰) to derive a coeval seawater δ238U of between −0.75 ± 0.09‰ and −0.48 ± 0.09‰. A three-sink U isotope mass balance model suggests 0.2–15.8% global euxinic seafloor area existed during deposition of these Tremadocian carbonates. Our study implies that a small biotic crisis during a small CIE was not associated with an expansion of global ocean euxinia, in contrast to major Phanerozoic mass extinctions that were commonly associated with significant expansion of ocean euxinia during large carbon perturbations (e.g., the Late Devonian). In addition, we propose that the post-SPICE Cambrian and Early Ordovician oceans were characterized by limited changes in ocean euxinia and only a few episodes of expanded ocean suboxia-anoxia during carbon perturbations. The “biomere” events within this period, including the base Stairsian event, were probably related to these episodes of expanded suboxic-anoxic oceans and/or other ecological stresses." @default.
