  Carbon Cycle Evolution Before and After the Great Oxidation of the Atmosphere
  Don E. Canfield

  The rock record of organic carbon abundance and its isotopic composition is consistent with the evolution of life more than 3800 million years ago (Ma). Despite this, there are very...

  A Statistical Analysis of the Carbon Isotope Record From the Archean to Phanerozoic and Implications for the Rise of Oxygen
  Joshua Krissansen-TottonRoger BuickDavid C. Catling

  Organic and inorganic carbon isotope records reflect the burial of organic carbon over geological timescales. Permanent burial of organic carbon in the crust or mantle oxidizes the surface environment (atmosphere,...
