Earth:Yudomski event

From HandWiki
Short description: Theorized Prehistorical Event

The Yudomski Event is an event proposed to have occurred between the early Cambrian and late Neoproterozoic periods in which the sulfur cycle contained unusually high values of δ34S sulfur-isotope ratios.[1][2] Evidence for this event has been found in five countries: Russia, Iran, Australia, China, and India.[1][2][3] It is theorized to be linked to changing seawater chemistry.[1][2] Evidence for this event comes from marine evaporitic sulfates, which can record ancient sulfur isotopes.[1][2][4] It is named for the Yudomski formation in Siberia, where the event was first recorded.[1][2]
