The triple oxygen isotope composition (Δ'O) of sulfate minerals is widely used to constrain ancient atmosphericO/COand rates of gross primary production. The utility of this tool is based on a model that sulfate oxygen carries an isotope fingerprint of tropospheric Oincorporated through oxidative weathering of re…
