Variations of the 238U/235U Isotope Ratio in Metasedimentary Rocks and Evidence of Changes in Sedimentation Conditions during the Ediacarian Period of the Neoproterozoic
The isotopic composition of uranium is a new geochemical indicator that facilitates reconstruction of the redox conditions of geological processes. In this paper the results of study of the 238U/235U isotope rati...
