A ~60 Myr periodicity is common to marine-87Sr/86Sr, fossil biodiversity, and large-scale sedimentation: what does the periodicity reflect?

Adrian L. Melott, Richard K. Bambach, K. D. Petersen +1

We find that the marine 87Sr/86Sr record shows a significant periodicity of 59.3 \pm 3 Myr. The 87Sr/86Sr record is 171° \pm 12°out of phase with a 62 (\pm 3) Myr periodicity previ…
