| 英文摘要: | Early isotopic studies of sulfate in carbonate minerals (carbonate associated sulfate; CAS) suggested that carbonates can provide a reliable, well-dated archive of the marine sulfur cycle through time. However, subsequent research has shown that diagenetic alteration can impose highly heterogeneous CAS sulfur isotopic compositions (δ34SCAS) among different carbonate phases within sediments. Such alteration necessitates targeted sampling of well-preserved, primary carbonate phases. Here, we present a new record of Carboniferous and Early Permian brachiopod δ34SCAS generated from over 130 measurements of microsampled brachiopod shells. Our record refines existing brachiopod δ34SCAS records and confirms a large, ∼6.5‰ δ34SCAS decrease in the Early Carboniferous. Importantly, the record also features a novel 3–5‰ increase in δ34SCAS near the Serpukhovian-Bashkirian boundary (323.4 Ma) that coincides with carbonate δ13C and δ18O increases. Variability in δ34SCAS is minor both within (≤0.3‰) and among (≤2‰) individual co-depositional brachiopod specimens. A taxon-specific δ34SCAS offset is present one species (Composita subtilita) that also exhibits a δ13C offset, supporting the existence of biological “vital effects” on δ34SCAS. Geologic evidence and mathematical modeling of the Permo-Carboniferous carbon and sulfur cycles suggest that changes in the burial ratio of organic carbon to pyrite sulfur (RC:S) are insufficient to explain the observed mid-Carboniferous δ34SCAS record. We find that changes in the 34S depletion of pyrite relative to seawater sulfate (ε34) or in the δ34S of the input to the ocean (δ34Sin) are also needed. Large additions of O2 from organic carbon burial during the Permo-Carboniferous cannot be entirely compensated for with sulfur cycle changes; lower than modern late Visean pO2 and/or additional O2 sinks are needed to keep pO2 at plausible levels. Based on the geologic context surrounding our record's mid-Carboniferous δ34SCAS increase, we advocate for simultaneous changes in pyrite burial, ε34, and δ34Sin, driven by sea level or tectonically induced changes in environments of sulfur burial, as a viable mechanism to produce rapid seawater δ34S changes. © 2020 Elsevier B.V. |
