Ces résultats remettent en cause ce que l’on savait de l’#oxygénation des océans il y a plus de 2 milliards d’années http://sci3nc.es/TL9G6T

Ancient #ocean oxygenation timeline revealed

Late Paleozoic #oxygenation of marine environments supported by #dolomite U-Pb dating https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-46660-7

"Their record indicates a dramatic increase in the oxygenation of the #oceans during the Late #Paleozoic era, hundreds of millions of years after the emergence of the first #animals. This aligns with other evidence... supports the hypothesis that animals have evolved in oceans that were mostly oxygen-limited"

#Ediacaran #fossils reveal origins of #biomineralization that led to expansion of life on Earth

Constraining the onset and environmental setting of #metazoan biomineralization https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012821X23003497

"#Cloudina originated in a low #oxygen environment with periods of notably higher #oxygenation... it was not a case of sustained oxygenation that resulted in the appearance of #skeletonization... high #carbonate concentrations in the ocean were necessary"

Great #Oxygenation #Event, which occurred around 2.4 billion years ago, was one of the biggest #transformations of our planet. Before it, there was practically no oxygen in the #atmosphere; after, there wa. Tthe rise of oxygen is sen as life triumphantly terraforming a passive planet. But we’re learning now that Earth was an active participant, and it took two more big lifts of oxygen over the succeeding #2billionyears before it reached breathable levels.
