Molar tooth carbonates and benthic methane fluxes in Proterozoic oceans

Molar tooth carbonates and benthic methane fluxes in Proterozoic oceans

Molar tooth structures are common in early- to mid-Proterozoic carbonates but extremely rare in rocks younger than 750 Ma. Here, the authors show molar tooth carbonate formation is related to benthic methane fluxes.
