Multiple sulfur isotope evidence for massive oceanic sulfate depletion in the aftermath of Snowball Earth

Large positive sulphur isotope excursions, recorded in the wake of the Marinoan glaciation have previously been interpreted assuming stable ocean sulphate concentrations. Here, using multiple sulphur isotopes, the authors instead suggest significant ocean sulphate drawdown, driven by increased pyrit...
