Transient fertilization of a post-Sturtian Snowball ocean margin with dissolved phosphate by clay minerals

Abstract Marine sedimentary rocks deposited across the Neoproterozoic Cryogenian Snowball interval, ~720-635 million years ago, suggest that post-Snowball fertilization of shallow continental margin seawater with phosphorus accelerated marine primary productivity, ocean-atmosphere oxygenation, and u...
