| 英文摘要 | The mid-Proterozoic (ca. 1.8-0.8 Ga) witnessed a period of stable carbon cycling and long stasis in eukaryotic evolution, which was commonly ascribed to the persistently low oxygen levels in the atmosphere-ocean system. Recently, several pulsed marine oxygenations were identified from different continents, and presumed to have facilitated the short-term diversification of eukaryotes in the early Mesoproterozoic Era. To test this hypothesis, an integrated study of iodine species [I/ (Ca + Mg)], paired carbon isotopes (delta C-13(carb) and delta C-13(org)), and elemental abundances was conducted on the fossil-bearing Tuanshanzi Formation (similar to 1.64-1.63 Ga), North China. The near-zero I/(Ca + Mg) ratios (0.00 +/- 0.01 mu mol/mol) coupled with low delta C-13(org) (-30.2 +/- 1.4 parts per thousand) in the strata below the fossil-bearing interval suggests anoxic conditions in shallow seawater. An increase of I/ (Ca + Mg) up to similar to 1.54 mu mol/mol coupled with a similar to 2 parts per thousand negative shift in delta C-13(carb) and a similar to 11 parts per thousand positive excursion in delta C-13(org) in the fossil-bearing interval point to an increased oxygen concentration. Above the fossil-bearing interval, I/ (Ca + Mg) decrease to <0.5 mu mol/mol, suggesting deoxygenation and a return to anoxic to suboxic conditions. Combined with relevant data from other mid-Proterozoic sections of North China and Australia, these data likely indicate dynamic redox conditions in the shallow seawaters of this period, with multiple pulses in oxygenation in otherwise anoxic conditions. These pulsed oxygenations may have facilitated short-term proliferation and diversification of early eukaryotes in shallow seawaters, but the overall low oxygen levels have impeded their continuous development and the rise to ecological dominance until late Neoproterozoic. Plain Language Summary The mid-Proterozoic (ca. 1.8-0.8 billion years ago) is a period characterized by a long stasis in eukaryotic evolution and pervasive ocean anoxia. However, some of the oldest possible examples of multicellular eukaryotic fossils have been interpreted from the strata of ca. 1.65-1.56 billion years ago. To reveal the potential links between eukaryotes and environments, an integrated study of iodine species, carbon isotopes, total organic carbon and element abundances was performed on the ca. 1.65-1.63 billion years old carbonates from North China. The results from iodine contents in marine carbonates indicate dynamic seawater redox conditions, with evidence for oxygenation in the fossil-bearing interval, and anoxic conditions in the overlying and underlying strata. This was further supported by the prominent shifts in carbon isotopes (both delta C-13(carb) and delta C-13(org)), implying an increased oxygenation in shallow seawater. The co-occurrence of these features likely suggested that pulsed oxygenation facilitated a short interval of eukaryotic evolution during the terminal Paleoproterozoic, however, the overall low oxygen levels during the mid-Proterozoic likely impeded their subsequent expansion and diversification. |
