suitable for measuring incorporation of 3sS into pyrite and elemental sulfur during 35S0,2- reduction measurements in salt marsh sediments Failure to explicitly measure the formation of 35S-labcled pyrite can result in the rate of sulfate reduction being underestimated by 2-fold to lo-fold or more...
An earlier model for the formation of pyrite spheres in gas bubbles , the average accumulation rate of these shales was on the order of 1023 mm/yr This figure is based on thickness of strati-graphic sections, conodont data (Ettensohn et al 1989), and age calibrations...
notable that superheavy pyrite formation requires both high MSR and VOSC formation rates so as to maintain a strong vertical δ 34 S H2S gradient (Fig 6) In addition, a l ow sulfate...
Sedimentary pyrite formation during early diagenesis is a major process for controlling the oxygen level of the atmosphere and the sulfate concentration in seawater over geologic time The amount of pyrite that may form in a sediment is limited by the rates of supply of decomposable organic matter, dissolved sulfate, and reactive detrital iron minerals...

Without silicate, oxidized pyrite particles form an overlayer of crystalline goethite or lepidocrocite with porous structure With silicate addition, a smooth, continuous, coherent and apparently amorphous iron oxyhydroxide surface layer is observed, with consequent pyrite dissolution rates reduced by more than 90% at neutral pH...
In situ rates of pyrite formation depend on a wide range of environmental conditions (Burton et al, 2011) The availability of sulfate, organic carbon, and reactive iron are key factors controlling pyrite formation in coastal sediments (Berner, 1970, 1984; Figure 1) In blue carbon ecosystems, tidal seawater inundation...

Feb 03, 2012· The causes of variable pyrite nucleation rates in sedimentary environments are diverse and have been reviewed in detail by It is plain from these detailed critical reviews that pyrite-formation rates in modern sediments cannot be summed up by the simple flat assertion that make Given that, similar speculation on rates in the Archean and ....
