Iron and manganese in bottom sediments and interstitial waters sampled in the White Sea on August 21-30, 2003

Iron and manganese in bottom sediments studied along the sublatitudinal transect from Kandalaksha to Arkhangelsk are characterized by various contents and speciations depending on sedimentation environment, grain size of sediments, and diagenetic processes. The latter include redistribution of reactive forms leading to enrichment in Fe and Mn of surface sediments, formation of films, incrustations, and ferromanganese nodules. Variations in total Fe content (2-8%) are accompanied by changes in concentration of its reactive forms (acid extraction) and concentration of dissolved Fe in interstitial waters (1-14 µM). Variations in Mn content in bottom sediments (0.03-3.7%) and interstitial waters (up to 500 µM) correspond to high diagenetic mobility of this element. Changes in oxidation degree of chemical elements result in redox stratification of sediment strata with maximum concentrations of Fe, Mn, and sulfides. Organic matter of bottom sediments with considerable terrestrial constituent is oxidized by bottom water oxygen mainly at the sediment surface or in anaerobic conditions within the sediment strata. The role of inorganic components in organic matter oxidation changes from surface layer bottom sediments (where manganese oxyhydroxide dominates among oxidants) to deeper layers (where sulfate of interstitial water serves as the main oxidant). Differences in river runoff and hydrodynamics are responsible for geochemical asymmetry of the transect. The deep Kandalaksha Bay serves as a sediment trap for manganese (Mn content in sediments varies within 0.5-0.7%), whereas the sedimentary environment in the Dvina Bay promotes its removal from bottom sediments (Mn 0.05%).

Petrography, minerals and isotopic composition at DSDP Leg 66 Holes

We collected 20 carbonate nodules from the inner trench slope deposits of the Middle America Trench area off Mexico. Carbonate nodules are found only within the methane-rich layer beneath the mixed layer of methane and hydrogen sulfide. They have been investigated by microscopic, scanning electron microscopic (SEM), X-ray diffraction, and stable isotopic analytical methods. Calcite, magnesian calcite, dolomite, and rhodochrosite were recognized as carbonate minerals. Each carbonate nodule is usually represented by single species of carbonate minerals. Carbonate nodules are subdivided into micrite nodules and recrystallized nodules according to textural features. The carbonate crystallites in each micrite nodule are equidimensional. Their sizes range from several to 30 µm, as revealed by SEM micrographs. The chemical composition of calcite is changed from pure calcite to high magnesian calcite, as shown by the shift of the (104) reflection in X-ray diffraction patterns. Fe substitution for Ca in dolomite was also observed. Carbon isotopic composition shows an unusually wide range - from -42.9 to +13.5 per mil - in PDB scale, whereas oxygen isotopic compositions of almost all the carbonate nodules are constantly enriched in 18O from +3.4 to +7.60 per mil in PDB scale. These wide variations in carbon isotopic composition indicate several sources for the carbon in carbonate nodules. Carbon with a negative d13C value was derived from biochemical oxidation of methane with a negative d13C value. On the other hand, carbon with positive d13C value was probably formed during methane production in an anoxic condition.
