Significance Changes in sulfur isotope ratios ( 34 S/ 32 S) of marine phases are often attributed to global biogeochemical perturbations. Sediments collected on the shelf Gulf Lion revealed remarkable isotopic fluctuations sedimentary pyrite over last 500,000 years, ranging between −44.0‰ and 32.3‰. We suggest this pattern is related changes local environmental deposition, specifically, sedimentation modulating connectivity with overlying water column resulting microbial activity. Besides...

Abstract Microbialites are widespread in modern and fossil hypersaline environments, where they provide a unique sedimentary archive. Authigenic mineral precipitation microbialites results from complex interplay between microbial metabolisms, organic matrices environmental parameters. Here, we combined mineralogical microscopic analyses with measurements of metabolic activity order to characterise the mineralisation mats forming Great Salt Lake (Utah, USA). Our show that process takes place...

Abstract Eukaryotic algae rose to ecological relevance after the Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth glaciations, but causes for this consequential evolutionary transition remain enigmatic. Cap carbonates were globally deposited directly these they are usually organic barren or thermally overprinted. Here we show that uniquely-preserved cap dolostones of Araras Group contain exceptional abundances a newly identified biomarker: 25,28-bisnorgammacerane. Its secular occurrence, carbon isotope...

Carbon isotope compositions of both sedimentary carbonate and organic matter can be used as key proxies the global carbon cycle its evolution through time, long they are acquired from waters where dissolved inorganic (DIC) is in equilibrium with atmospheric CO2. However, shallow water platforms epeiric settings, influence local to regional parameters on cycling may lead DIC variations unrelated cycle. This especially true for terminal Neoproterozoic, when Gondwana assembly isolated masses...

Abstract Precambrian hydrocarbons and their corresponding source rocks are distinctly different from Phanerozoic counterparts, having been deposited in persistently anoxic environments ecosystems dominated by bacteria. Here, we show that cyclic enrichment of organic matter the world’s oldest hydrocarbon play (ca. 1.38 Ga), is not associated with flooding surfaces unrelated to variations mineralogy or changes relative rate clastic biogenic sedimentation—factors typically attributed shales....

Abstract After permanent atmospheric oxygenation, anomalous sulfur isotope compositions were lost from sedimentary rocks, demonstrating that chemistry ceded its control of Earth’s surficial cycle to weathering. However, mixed signals anoxia and oxygenation in the record between 2.5 2.3 billion years (Ga) ago require independent clarification, for example via oxygen isotopes sulfate. Here we show <2.31 Ga barium sulfates (barites) Turee Creek Basin, W. Australia with positive anomalies ∆...

Serpentinitic systems are potential habitats for microbial life due to frequently high concentrations of energy substrates, such as hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4), and short-chain organic acids (SCOAs). Yet, many serpentinitic also physiologically challenging environments highly alkaline conditions (pH > 10) elevated temperatures (>80°C). To elucidate the possibility in deep crustal environments, International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 366 drilled into Yinazao, Fantangisña,...
