Snowball Earth to Global Warming: Coupled vanadium-carbonaceous deposits in the Cryogenian-Cambrian

The anticipated high demand for new vanadium resources in support of the green energy revolution will be partly met by carbonaceous deposits. This type deposit is particularly developed during a 200 Myr period from Cryogenian-Cambrian. During this period, anoxic conditions were widely and provided template deposition. Vanadium became available to surface Neoproterozoic when anomalously levels introduced large igneous provinces. Global glacial erosion transported oceans, along with trace elements that engendered organic carbon accumulation. combination gave rise range deposits, provides model exploration further resources.
