Vanadium isotope ratios (51V/50V) have potential to provide information about changes in past ocean oxygen contents. The oxygen abundance sensitivity range of V isotopes suggests that this paleoproxy could be particularly useful in tracing marine oxygenation changes throughout the Phanerozoic and potentially beyond.
