2. Earth's atmosphere and surface ocean were pervasively and mildly oxygenated after the ca. 2.4 Ga Great Oxidation Event (GOE), which induced dramatic environmental and biological changes. Positive nitrogen isotopic compositions of Paleoproterozoic marine deposits reveal aerobic nitrogen cycling and the widespread availability of bioavailable nitrate, but the nature of nitrogen cycling in freshwater environment remains unclear. To elucidate the redox conditions and bioavailability of nitrogen, redox-sensitive element and nitrogen isotopic compositions, as well as the depositional age, were determined for black shales of the late Paleoproterozoic Embury Lake Formation, Flin Flon belt, Canada. This formation accumulated in a sulfate-poor freshwater basin isolated from the open ocean, as indicated by its low total‑sulfur/total-organic‑carbon ratio of ∼0.05. Our U-Pb ages for detrital zircons show that the formation is younger than 1862.2 ± 2.6 Ma. Redox-sensitive elements (V and U) in the black shales show positive correlation with detrital tracers Al and Ti. Low enrichment factors for V and U indicate minor authigenic accumulations of the two elements. Moreover, the black shales are depleted in Mn, suggesting deposition under suboxic to anoxic conditions. δ15N values of the black shales are generally

Shoichi Kiyokawa, Shoichiro Koge, Takashi Ito, Minoru Ikehara, An ocean-floor carbonaceous sedimentary sequence in the 3.2-Ga Dixon Island Formation, coastal Pilbara terrane, Western Australia. , Precambrian Research, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.precamres.2014.09.014, 255, 123-143, 2014.11, tThe Dixon Island Formation of the Pilbara terrane, Western Australia, extends from Cleaverville Beachto the Dixon Island coast, and is the only example worldwide of a coastal outcrop of a 3.2–3.1 Ga low-grade greenstone belt. The Dixon Island Formation was situated in an immature island arc setting andcomprises siliceous, carbonaceous deep-water sediments that contain evidence for hydrothermal andmicrobial activity. The extensive outcrop along the coastline makes it possible to examine in detail thecharacteristics of Mesoarchean sedimentation in a hydrothermal environment. This study focuses on acontinuously exposed carbonaceous, black chert succession in the central part of the northern coastlineoutcrop on Dixon Island. At this site, a 20-m-thick, carbonaceous, black chert sequence conformablyoverlies basement rocks of highly altered komatiite–rhyolite tuffs. The black chert sequence formedwell-bedded black chert with carbonaceous peloidal matter and fragmented grains, and the sequence ishomogeneous and finely laminated. In this sequence, evidence of low-temperature hydrothermal fluid,sediments and alteration stractures are well preserved in the lowermost section, indicating that high lev-els of hydrothermal activity occurred on the ocean floor during deposition. In particular, swarms of blackchert veins provide evidence of post-volcanic hydrothermal activity that released organic matter andsilica to the ocean. The carbonaceous peloidal textures and 13Corgvalues of sediments located just abovethe basement, which hosts the vein swarms, suggest that the veins were the conduits for hydrothermalfluid which contained organic-rich silica material and that flowed onto the seafloor to form the homo-geneous carbonaceous cherts along with hydrothermal-related sediment. The 13Corgvalues of organicmatter in the black cherts range from −42‰ to −22‰ (average = −31.9‰; n = 313). Lighter 13C values(−35‰ to −42‰) characterize carbonaceous laminated black chert located ∼5 m above the basement,where biogenic structures (e.g. biomat bed, microfossil structures) are found. The lighter 13C valuesmight be related to methanotrophic micro-organic activity within the sediments during hydrothermalactivity. In summary, we reconstructed the sedimentary environment upon a Mesoarchean hydrothermalocean floor that was a site of microbial activity and local methanogenesis.© 2014 Elsevier.
