“…Those authors suggested that in the same way that hydrothermal pyrite can track the chemistry of ore-forming fluids (Large et al, 2009), syngenetic to early diagenetic pyrite can track changes in seawater composition. Large et al (2014) also provided an assessment of the importance of pyrite versus matrix trace element incorporation, sulfide recrystallization, and the location in the water column or sediment where pyrite forms, which suggest the record is favorable to recording seawater signatures; a result further supported by several additional studies Large et al, 2015;Mukherjee and Large, 2016).…”

“…Large et al (2015) further correlated these nutrient peaks to periods of rapid evolutionary change, such as the Cambrian explosion and the rise of tetrapods, whereas periods of nutrient depletion in the Phanerozoic record seem to coincide with mass extinctions. Overall, the Phanerozoic shale studies of P highlight the potential power of the black shale record in elucidating temporal trends in P availability.…”

“…This offers the potential to shed light not only on paleomarine P abundances but could also in resolving the ongoing debate regarding the interpretation of P/Fe ratios in IF. Additionally, Large et al (2015) measured P in a suite of fifty Phanerozoic black shales and found a cyclical variation in P that seemed to…”

“…Selenium isotopes were measured on samples from -Devonian and -Triassic events (Long et al, 2015). Coincident with these extinctions the pyrite record shows a dramatic decrease in Se, almost two orders of magnitude, suggesting that organisms relying on Se for biological functions may have become stressed, and that this may have been a contributing factor in the extinctions.…”

Life requires a wide variety of bioessential trace elements to act as structural components and reactive centers in metalloenzymes. These requirements differ between organisms and have evolved over geological time, likely guided in some part by environmental conditions. Until recently, most of what was understood regarding trace element concentrations in the Precambrian oceans was inferred by extrapolation, geochemical modeling, and/or genomic studies. However, in the past decade, the increasing availability of trace element and isotopic data for sedimentary rocks of all ages have yielded new, and potentially more direct, insights into secular changes in seawater composition -and ultimately the evolution of the marine biosphere. Compiled records of many bioessential trace elements (including Ni, Mo, P, Zn, Co, Cr, Se, and I) provide new insight into how trace element abundance in Earth's ancient oceans may have been linked to biological evolution. Several of these trace elements display redox-sensitive behavior, while others are redox-sensitive but not bioessential (e.g., Cr, U). Their temporal trends in sedimentary archives provide useful constraints on changes in atmosphere-ocean redox conditions that are linked to biological evolution, for example, the activity of oxygen-producing, photosynthetic cyanobacteria. In this review, we summarize available Precambrian trace element proxy data, and discuss how temporal trends in the seawater concentrations of specific trace elements may be linked to the evolution of both simple and complex life. We also examine several biologically relevant and/or redox-sensitive trace elements that have yet to be fully examined in the A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT3 sedimentary rock record (e.g., Cu, Cd, W) and suggest several directions for future studies.
