英文摘要 | Authigenic carbonates and pyrite associated with sulfate-driven anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) at methane seeps provide archives to explore the biogeochemical processes involved and seepage dynamics over time. The wide range and extremely high delta S-34 values of pyrite (delta S-34(py)) have been used to trace the AOM-related processes. However, the detailed mechanism for this phenomenon is not well understood. We propose that the characteristics of delta S-34(py) were mainly controlled by the competition between sulfate reduction and sulfate supply, as well as the redox condition. To test this hypothesis, we investigated Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca ratios, trace element compositions, pyrite contents and sulfur isotopic compositions in seep carbonates from Site F and Haima in the northern South China Sea. Calcite and aragonite contents were distinguished through the Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca ratios. The data show that aragonites are always associated with relatively low delta S-34(py) values compared to calcites. The Mo contents show a good correlation with pyrite contents in calcites and aragonites, and the slope in aragonites is larger than that in calcites. This relationship indicates that the aragonite precipitated in a relatively open system with higher Mo availability. Thus, we conclude that sulfides with low delta S-34 values formed at high supply of sulfate under the relatively open system with respect to diffusive replenishment of sulfate, where the carbonate precipitation occurred close to the seafloor due to a strong methane flux. Under vigorous methane flux simultaneously, the high potential of less anoxic conditions, which could limit the additional pyrite accumulation and/or favor the microbial disproportionation, could also be the cause of the low delta S-34(py), as supported by samples from the Haima sites. Evidence for this assumption is based on the occurrence of bivalve shells and less enrichment in As and Sb. Conversely, the positive delta S-34(py) values result from near to complete exhaustion of dissolve sulfate via AOM within a deeper sulfate-methane transition zone, where Mo is less available. The combination of a detailed elemental study of authigenic carbonates with sulfur isotopic composition of sulfide minerals in carbonates is a promising tool for reconstructing the dynamics of seep intensities at modern and, potentially, geological seep sites. |
