Coupled Fe and S isotope variations in pyrite nodules from Archean shale

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors illustrate the importance of in-situ and coupled study of Fe and S isotopes on two pyrite nodules in a c. 2.7 Ga shale from the Bubi Greenstone Belt (Zimbabwe).
Journal ArticleDOI

Production, preservation, and biological processing of mass-independent sulfur isotope fractionation in the Archean surface environment

TL;DR: A detailed model of the marine sulfur cycle is used to propagate and distribute atmospherically derived S MIF from its delivery to the ocean to its preservation in the sediment, which is predicted to be most highly variable in nonmarine and shallow-water settings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photochemistry of Sulfur Dioxide and the Origin of Mass-Independent Isotope Fractionation in Earth's Atmosphere

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the emerging picture of the physical origins of S-MIF and their implications for the chemistry of the early Earth's atmosphere, including isotopologue-dependent self-shielding, cross-sectional amplitudes, and vibronic coupling during intersystem crossing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple sulfur isotopes monitor fluid evolution of an Archean orogenic gold deposit

TL;DR: In this article, a gold-bearing laminated quartz breccia ore zone and its sulfide-bearing alteration halo in the (+6 Moz Au) structurally-controlled Archean Waroonga deposit located in the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane of the Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

A multiple sulfur and organic carbon isotope record from non-conglomeratic sedimentary rocks of the Mesoarchean Witwatersrand Supergroup, South Africa

TL;DR: In this article, multiple sulfur isotope ratios (36S/34S/33S/32S) and organic carbon isotope ratio (13C/12C) were measured from 198 non-conglomeratic sedimentary samples that were collected from five deep diamond drill-cores that cover the majority of the ca. 2.82 Ga Witwatersrand Supergroup.

Geochemistry of Hydrothermal Ore Deposits

TL;DR: In this paper, Skinner et al. discuss the relationship between hydrous alteration and its relationship to hydrous fluid composition in the formation of sulfide-sulfide ores.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sedimentary pyrite formation: An update

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that organic matter appears to be the major control on pyrite formation in normal (non-euxinic) terrigenous marine sediments where dissolved sulfate and iron minerals are abundant.
Journal ArticleDOI

The age curves of sulfur and oxygen isotopes in marine sulfate and their mutual interpretation

TL;DR: In this article, a model involving symmetrical fluxes is introduced to take advantage of the oxygen data, and the measured δ34S and δ18O correspond to variations in these isotopes in sulfate of the world ocean surface.
