Additional information

Three sections of the Bowland Shale Formation (Upper Bowland Shale) from the Craven Basin (Lancashire, UK). These sections are; outcrop Hind Clough (grid ref: 364430 453210, British National Grid projection), and boreholes Marl Hill 4 (MHD4; 367426 446752) and Cominco S9 (386010 463500). This study was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), [grant no. NE/L002493/1], within the Central England NERC Training Alliance (CENTA). The study also received CASE funding from the British Geological Survey. Simon Poulton acknowledges support from a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award. Nick Riley (Carboniferous Ltd) is thanked for sharing biostratigraphic expertise and assistance. Nick Marsh and Tom Knott are thanked for providing assistance during geochemical analyses.

Statement

Samples were crushed and powdered using an agate planetary mill prior to analysis. Total sulphur was determined via LECO CS 230 elemental analysis. XRF data were acquired on fused beads and powder briquettes with a PANalytical Axios Advanced X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometer, default PANalytical SuperQ conditions. Pyrolysis was conducted on finely powdered samples in a Rock-Eval 6 apparatus. Fe speciation was conducted via sequential extraction of ‘highly reactive’ (FeHR), including carbonate-associated Fe (Fecarb), ferric (oxyhydr)oxides (Feox) and magnetite (Femag) (based on Poulton and Canfield, 2005). Pyrite Fe (FePY) was estimated via extraction of chromium-reducible S, which followed extraction of acid-volatile sulphide (based on Canfield et al., 1986). Trace element enrichment factors (EFs) are relative to Post-Archaean Average Shale values (from Taylor and McLennan, 1985).
