Dual pathways controlling Mn-carbonate mineralization in redox-stratified basins: Geochemical constraints from the Ortokarnash deposit (Western Kunlun, China)

The formation of sedimentary manganese deposits—vital sources of a critical metal for green technologies—is intimately linked to redox-stratified basins, yet whether Mn-carbonates precipitate directly in anoxic water columns or form diagenetically in sediments has remained unreso...
