摘要 | Sulfate-driven anaerobic oxidation of methane (SO4-AOM) and organiclastic sulfate reduction (OSR) in marine sediments commonly lead to the precipitation of authigenic pyrite with characteristic sulfur isotopic compositions. Yet, no reports on the iron isotopic composition of SO4-AOM generated pyrite exist to the best of our knowledge and the processes controlling the distribution of iron isotopes during this biogeochemical process are not understood. To investigate the mechanisms involved in iron isotope fractionation during SO4-AOM, we analyzed the isotopic composition of authigenic pyrite from two seafloor sites (HS148 and HS217) in the Shenhu gas hydrate area, South China Sea. The delta Fe-56 values of pyrite were found to vary from -0.349 parts per thousand to +0.267 parts per thousand in core HS148, and from -0.793 parts per thousand to +0.178 parts per thousand in core HS217 (relative to average igneous rock) with distinct trends towards higher values with increasing burial depth in both cores. The delta Fe-56 values correlate positively with the extent of pyritization (Fe-py/Fe-HR) derived from a sequential iron extraction procedure. OSR was found to drive early diagenetic pyrite formation at shallow depth, resulting in relatively Fe-56 depleted pyrite. Peaks in the extent of pyritization of 0.45 and 0.47 at ca. 6 and 7 m below the sediment surface, respectively, correlate with high delta Fe-56 and high delta S-34 values, and are interpreted to reflect periods of enhanced SO4-AOM in paleo-sulfate methane transition zones (SMTZs). The great variability in iron isotopic composition and the observed trends are best explained as a function of the availability of dissolved sulfide, reflecting sulfide formation by OSR and SO(4)AOM. The successive conversion of reactive iron to pyrite via sulfidization apparently resulted in the enrichment of Fe-56 in the iron reservoir upon the preferential consumption of isotopically light iron, leading to the formation of successively Fe-56-enriched pyrite especially at or in close proximity to the SMTZ. Therefore, we hypothesize that the combined enrichment of heavy iron isotopes and S-34 in authigenic pyrite is a possible tracer of SO4-AOM in modern and ancient sedimentary sequences.
