Dolostones are promising archives for recording paleo-seawater Li isotope compositions, and are especially important for the Cambrian and Precambrian periods when limestones are scarce. However, the effect of dolomitization on carbonate Li isotopes is unclear, limiting their application in tracking (Pre-)Cambrian seawater Li isotopes. Research on Li isotopes in dolostone sections may resolve this issue. We present the Li isotope compositions of dolostones from the terminal Ediacaran Chigebrak Formation (NW Tarim Basin). The dolostone Li isotopes are-17 +/- 5 %o heavier than contemporaneous seawater, indicating significant Li isotope fractionations during dolomite formation. Given that the formation of clay minerals may enrich the porewater with heavier Li isotopes and promote the dolomite formation, we argue that the claycatalyzed dolomite formation would probably result in heavier Li isotope compositions of dolomites. Moreover, assuming a fixed fractionation factor (-15 %o) for the clay-catalyzed dolomitizations, we obtain the seawater delta 7Li variations in the terminal Ediacaran, which show similar declining trends with the carbonate 87Sr/86Sr record. Using a simple ocean Li-Sr box model, we propose a reduced weathering scenario during the terminal Ediacaran (-549 Ma) to explain the seawater Li-Sr isotope covariations. Our study suggests considerable fractionations of Li isotopes (-17 +/- 5 %o) during clay-catalyzed dolomite formation and a reduced-weathering scenario during the terminal Ediacaran. This large Li isotope fractionation factor indicates the Li isotope fractionation factors during dolomitizations may vary widely and should be considered based on the type of dolomitization. More comparative studies on Li isotopes among coeval carbonates are expected to further explore the potential of dolostones in recording paleo-seawater Li isotopes.
