24. reference. Here, the reference is average crust (16). This normalization compensates for variable dilution by carbonate sedimentation and facilitates visualization of authigenic enrichment.
25. Mo/TOC slopes are probably now steeper than they were at the time of deposition, because organic carbon is preferentially lost during catagenesis.

27. 2 at pH > 5 and temperature < 70°C. The weathering rate is only slightly sensitive to temperature but roughly doubles if pH increases to a typical marine value of ∼8.3. These rates are lower limits because they neglect the rate-enhancing effects of crystal defects and microbial activity.
28. The duration of S1 is difficult to estimate but is <16 million years based on the uncertainty in the Re/Os isochron. Assuming a typical average shale accumulation rate of ∼2.5 m/million years, the duration is ∼11 million years. These estimates are consistent with accumulation rates determined from prior geochronology of sampled units (20, 21).

35. 2S concentrations, so delivery of Mo to sediments can be affected by changes in primary production, sulfate availability, or the vigor of bacterial sulfate reduction.
36. We interpret this stratigraphic shift as indicating a change in environmental oxygenation with time. It is alternatively possible that the shift records sediments accumulating at different water depths in a redox-stratified water column. In either case, the Mo and Re enrichments are evidence of oxidative weathering ∼2.5 Ga.
