Trace and rare earth elemental geochemistry of carbonate succession in the Middle Gaoyuzhuang Formation, Pingquan Section: Implications for Early Mesoproterozoic ocean redox conditions

The concentrations of redox-sensitive trace elements, such as uranium (U), vanadium (V), molybdenum (Mo), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr) and rare earth elements (REE+Y) were determined in a given carbonate succession in the Gaoyuzhuang Formation (~1.56 Ga), which spans depths from outer shelf to interti...
