The oxidation of soluble [Ce.sup.3+] (reduced) into less soluble [Ce.sup.4+] (oxidized) under oxic seawaters causes negative Ce anomalies, whereas alkalic waters rich in carbonates likely cause the stabilization of polycarbonate-Ce complexes in seawaters (Bau and Dulski, 1996; Madhavaraju and Gonzalez-Leon, 2012) and hence remarkably positive Ce anomaly in sediments such as the Lake Van in Turkey (Moller and Bau, 1993).
