The Neoproterozoic Oxygenation Event (NOE) | GEO GIRL

The great oxidation event (GOE) was not the only time that Earth's oxygen content rose significantly. The Neoproterozoic oxidation event increased atmospheric oxygen concentration even more, and even oxidized the ocean... to an extent, but stick around for the early paleozoic oxygen history video for more on the timing and extent of ocean oxygenation.
