“…Negative Ce anomalies are well known from many Neoproterozoic Chinese localities (S. Chen et al., 2014). Data on Neoproterozoic phosphate is less common, but examples of substantial negative Ce anomalies, down to 0.6, exist from China (Xin et al., 2015, 2016) and elsewhere (Frei et al., 2017; Gómez‐Peral et al., 2014, 2017; Krupenin et al., 2023; Mazumdar et al., 2003; Shields & Stille, 1998). Although these Ce anomalies are much weaker than modern anomalies which reach negative anomalies of up to 0.1, they still denote that up to 40% of the Ce is missing from these deposits.…”
