Abstract
Abstract
The first data on the multi-isotopic S composition of sulfides of the Neoarchean banded iron formations (BIFs) of the Kostomuksha greenstone belt of Karelia (Karelian Craton of the Fennoscandian Shield) formed 2760–2740 Ma ago are presented in this paper. Pyrite associated with fine-grained magnetite has negative δ34S (to –7.8‰) and positive Δ33S (to +0.7‰) values. Pyrrhotite from stringer-disseminated ores associated with schists exhibits negative values of both δ34S (to –6‰) and Δ33S (to –0.46‰). Our data provide grounds to suggest that the BIF sulfides sourced photolitic elementary sulfur from the atmosphere, sulfate from seawater, and sulfur from magma. The S isotope ratios of sulfides reflect the interaction between abiotic (atmospheric, hydrothermal) and biotic (microbial dissimilation reduction) processes during the formation of iron deposits of the Kostomuksha greenstone belt of Karelia.
