This study evaluates the utility of sedimentary mercury (Hg) contents as a proxy for fingerprinting ancient massive volcanism, which is often associated with biogeochemical perturbations. Herein we present new Hg geochemical data from anoxic marine b...

A Meeting In The Forest: Hunters And Farmers At The Coneybury ‘Anomaly’, Wiltshire (2018)
Journal Article
Gron, K. J., Rowley-Conwy, P., Fernandez-Dominguez, E., Gröcke, D. R., Montgomery, J., Nowell, G. M., & Patterson, W. P. (2018). A Meeting In The Forest: Hunters And Farmers At The Coneybury ‘Anomaly’, Wiltshire. Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, 84, 111-144. https://doi.org/10.1017/ppr.2018.15

The Coneybury ‘Anomaly’ is an Early Neolithic pit located just south-east of Stonehenge, Wiltshire. Excavations recovered a faunal assemblage unique in its composition, consisting of both wild and domestic species, as well as large quantities of cera...

Thallium isotopes reveal protracted anoxia during the Toarcian (Early Jurassic) associated with volcanism, carbon burial, and mass extinction (2018)
Journal Article
Them, T. R., Gill, B. C., Caruthers, A. H., Gerhardt, A. M., Gröcke, D. R., Lyons, T. W., …Owens, J. D. (2018). Thallium isotopes reveal protracted anoxia during the Toarcian (Early Jurassic) associated with volcanism, carbon burial, and mass extinction. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 115(26), 6596-6601. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1803478115

For this study, we generated thallium (Tl) isotope records from two anoxic basins to track the earliest changes in global bottom water oxygen contents over the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (TOAE; ∼183 Ma) of the Early Jurassic. The T-OAE, like other... Read More about Thallium isotopes reveal protracted anoxia during the Toarcian (Early Jurassic) associated with volcanism, carbon burial, and mass extinction.

Utility of organic carbon isotope data from the Salina Group halite (Michigan Basin): A new tool for stratigraphic correlation and paleoclimate proxy resource (2018)
Journal Article
Caruthers, A. H., Gröcke, D. R., Kaczmarek, S. E., Rine, M. J., Kuglitsch, J., & Harrison, W. B. (2018). Utility of organic carbon isotope data from the Salina Group halite (Michigan Basin): A new tool for stratigraphic correlation and paleoclimate proxy resource. GSA Bulletin, 130(11/12), 1782-1790. https://doi.org/10.1130/b31972.1

Long-term global carbon isotope records (δ13Ccarb and δ13Corg) for the Silurian have been largely derived from unrestricted openmarine carbonates and shales. Here, we demonstrate how organic carbon harvested from halite-dominated evaporite deposits i...

Aims and objectives: The transition to an agricultural economy is often presumed to involve an increase in female fertility related to changes in weaning practice. In particular, the availability of staple crops as complementary foods is hypothesized... Read More about Let's talk about stress, baby!
