Interpretations • Seawater δ7Li rose by 8-9 ‰ over the Cenozoic (60 Ma today)
• This rise in δ7LiSW requires, all else held constant, a decrease in [Li]INPUT and increase in δ7LiOUTPUT to the ocean driven by:
(a) ~ 20‰ rise in δ7LiRiv (from 3‰ at 60 Ma to 23‰ today)
(b) ~ increase / decrease in only Li river flux cannot cause this rise in δ7LiSW
(c) ~ 80% drop in Li hydrothermal flux over the Cenozoic
(d) ~ 5‰ increase in ∆SW-Sediement (from 11‰ at 60 Ma to 16‰ today)

The early Cenozoic climatic optimum was a result of increased supply of carbon dioxide to the ocean-atmosphere system as well as diminished removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through weathering of silicate rocks. The scarcity of newly uplifted, fresh, weatherable rocks in the hothouse climate led to a slowdown of the negative feedback mechanism of the Urey-Walker-Berner cycle and promoted a temporary runaway increase in the CO2 concentrations of the ocean-atmosphere system on the post-KPg Earth. The absence of evidence from seawater 87/86Sr and δ7Li records to support increased continental weathering rates in this high-CO2 hothouse world indicates that the limiting ingredient was igneous silicates undergoing weathering. despite global high temperatures, high CO2, and high rainfall in the tropics (all of which should accelerate silicate weathering and promote removal of CO2), the physical and chemical weathering rates of the continents were subdued because of low uplift rates.

lightest values of the Li isotope ratio (7Li) during OAE2, indicating high levels of weathering—and therefore atmospheric CO2 removal.

6 stable isotopes: 184Os, 187Os, 188Os, 189Os, 190Os, and (most abundant) 192Os. The other natural isotope, 186Os, has an extremely long half-life (2×1015 years) and for practical purposes can be considered to be stable as well. 187Os is the daughter of 187Re (half-life 4.56×1010 years) and is most often measured in an 187Os/188Os ratio. Thus this is a radiogenic isotope system (like 87/86Sr).

Anomalously high platinum group element concentrations have previously been reported for Upper Triassic deep-sea sediments, which are interpreted to be derived from an extraterrestrial impact event. Os isotope data exhibit a marked negative excursion from an initial Os isotope ratio. This is synchronous with the ~215Ma Manicouagan impact event.

Conclusions The main phase of Deccan volcanism predates the K/T boundary impact.
The ~10 kyr residence time of Os in seawater decreases the likelihood of missing a large impact signal due to an incomplete sediment record.
The seawater record of Os recovers quickly (<100 kyr) from the impact event.

Summary
• Catalytic converters are important sources of PGE to the environment.
• Anthropogenic PGE are regionally dispersed.
• Distal dispersal (i.e., Greenland ice) seems to require fractionation of PGE during transport.
• Alternatively, observed enrichment in Greenland ice is caused by other industrial sources (smelters) or natural sources (dust, volcanic aerosols).
