Short summary
Approximately 600 million years ago, major environmental changes set the course for the emergence of animal life. Lithium (Li) isotopes in calcium carbonates can be used as a proxy to understand changes in the palaeo-environment. We conducted experiments that allow us to use Li isotopes in dolostones to extend our understanding of palaeo-environmental changes deeper into the geological record, where other calcium carbonates archives are not present.
Approximately 600 million years ago, major environmental changes set the course for the...
