What is it about?

• Mineralogical association of ankerite, dolomite and chamosite in carbonates. • Presence of oolitic texture indicates shallow marine high-energy deposition. • Suboxic-anoxic depositional environment inferred from geochemical proxies. • Late Paleoproterozoic atmospheric oxygen level of <0.2% PAL inferred.
