Geochemistry and mineralogy of selected carbonaceous claystones at DSDP Hole 76-534

Four dominant depositions of carbonaceous claystones are recognized to have occurred during the early Aptian to middle Albian at Site 534. There are correlations of stable isotope ratios with organic carbon content and of clay content with clay mineralogy of the samples. Almost all organic carbon in these sequences has very negative terrestrial isotope ratios, and the clay of that age indicates predominance of aluminous montmorillonite, which is thought to be of terrigenous origin. It is suggested that development of coastal vegetation belts and deltaic outbuilding with consequent outpouring of land-plant detritus and terrigenous elastics into the deep basins probably led to formation of the "black shale" facies.

(Table 2, Page 106-107) Composition of the HCl-soluble fraction in Barents Sea iron-manganese deposits

Ferromanganese concretions from ten stations in the Barents Sea have been analysed for 24 elements. The deposits occur as discoidal and flat concretions and as coatings, in the latter case on lithified or detrital material or as extensive pavements on the Svalbard shelf. The concretions are compositionally similar to Baltic concretions but differ considerably from deep-ocean nodules, particularly in Cu, Ni and Co contents. Statistical analyses reveal distinct correlations between Mn, Na, Ba, Ni and Cu; the Mn-rich coatings showed enrichment of Mo, Zn and possibly Co in a Mn-phase. The iron phase holds high concretions of P and As. Two iron-rich concretions with high contents of P, Ca, Sr, Y, Yb and La were found east and northeast of Spitsbergen Banken, probably indicating upwelling of nutrient-rich, cold polar water along the Svalbard shelf.

中国河口、近岸海洋沉积物酸提取相中元素相关性及其背景值的研究

本文详细研究了黄河口（五、八月）、长江口、龙口湾、日照近海以及冀东唐海近岸海域表层沉积物中元素Zn、Pb、Ni、Cu、Co、Fe、K、Corg、Cr、Mn、P的总量和元素Zn、Cu、Pb、Co、Cr、Li、Ni、Mn、Fe、K 、Al、P的可提取量。在此基础上，着重研究了沉积物中元素总量间的相关性、元素可提取量间的相关性、元素的含量与粒度组成之间的关系、元素的总量与可提取量的关系以及可提取部分背景值等几个方面的内容。通过对不同地区不同类型的大量沉积物的研究结果表明：沉积物中元素Cu、Zn、Ni、Fe、Corg、Cr的总量在不同河口、不同类型的沉积物中与其它元素存在着显著的正相关关系。考虑到参比元素的限制条件，可以利用Ni、Fe、Corg、Cr作为参比元素，这些参比元素在不同地区、不同类型的沉积物中具有普遍性。元素Cu、Zn、Pb、Ni、Fe、K、Cr、Corg、Mn的总量与粘土含量呈显著的正相关关系。用1N HCl或0.5N HCl+H_2O_2提取沉积物，元素Cu、Zn、Pb、Co、Li、Ni、Fe、K、Al的提取量之间以及与其它元素的可提取量存在显著的正相关关系。Li、Ni、Fe、Al、Co同样可以作为参比元素，这比用总量来评价环境质量具有更方便的特点。元素Zn、Cu、Pb、Co、Li、Ni、Fe、K的可提取量与粘土含量成显著的正相关关系。与1N HC1、0.5N HCl+H_2O_2两种提取方法相比较，25%(V/V) CH_3COOH只提取了部分结合松散的金属，元素的可提取量之间以及与粘土含量之间的相关关系较差。采用不同的提取方法，元素的提取率的大小顺序与提取方法是一致的，与沉积物的区域及类型关系不明显。元素的提取率与粘土之间相关性差，说明虽然随着颗粒变细，各元素含量的绝对值增加，但相对比例变化不明显。在以上内容研究的基础上，提出了沉积物中元素可提取部分背景值的概念，这个概念具有一定的普遍性，对今后环境质量的正确评价，特别是评价对生物体影响方面，更具有重要的意义。Li、Al、K三种元素在采用提取量进行环境质量评价时，可以作为参比元素。这在以前的文献中尚没有报道，是在前人工作的基础上的又一发展。初步发现了沉积物中部分元素可提取相的元素粒度控制规律。

Chemical element contents and speciations in bottom sediments from the Transpacific profile

The paper deals with regularities of distribution of iron, manganese, copper, nickel, and vanadium in interstitial waters from different lithofacies types of bottom sediments on the profile from the coast of Mexico to the Wake Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. With increasing distance from the shore and with transition from reduced coastal sediments to oxidized deep-sea red clays concentration of iron and manganese in the interstitial waters greatly decreases. Elevated concentration of dissolved iron (0.34 mg/l) was observed only in highly reduced terrigenous sediments from the shelf and continental slope of Mexico. The highest concentrations of manganese (13.2 mg/l) were measured in hemipelagic carbonate-siliceous-clayey sediments. Compared to Pacific seawater interstitial waters are enriched in Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, V. Interstitial waters contain only from 0.000004 to 1.2% of total contents of these elements in bottom sediments.

Seasonal changes in labile organic matter composition on the continental shelf and bathyal sediments of the Cretan Sea

Bacterial abundance, biomass and cell size were studied in the oligotrophic sediments of the Cretan Sea (Eastern Mediterranean), in order to investigate their response to the seasonal varying organic matter (OM) inputs. Sediment samples were collected on a seasonal basis along a transect of seven stations (ranging from 40 to 1570 m depth) using a multiple-corer. Bacterial parameters were related to changes in chloroplastic pigment equivalents (CPE), the biochemical composition (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates) of the sedimentary organic matter and the OM flux measured at a fixed station over the deep basin (1570 m depth). The sediments of the Cretan Sea represent a nutrient depleted ecosystem characterised by a poor quality organic matter. All sedimentary organic compounds were found to vary seasonally, and changes were more evident on the continental shelf than in deeper sediments. Bacterial abundance and biomass in the sediments of the Cretan Sea (ranging from 1.02 to 4.59 * 10**8 cells/g equivalent to 8.7 and 38.7 µgC/g) were quite high and their distribution appeared to be closely related to the input of fresh organic material. Bacterial abundance and biomass were sensitive to changes in nutrient availability, which also controls the average cell size and the frequency of dividing cells. Bacterial abundance increased up to 3-fold between August '94 and February '95 in response to the increased amount of sedimentary proteins and CPE, indicating that benthic bacteria were constrained more by changes in quality rather than the quantity of the sedimentary organic material. Bacterial responses to the food inputs were clearly detectable down to 10 cm depth. The distribution of labile organic compounds in the sediments appeared to influence the vertical patterns of bacterial abundance and biomass. Cell size decreased significantly with water depth. Bacterial abundance and biomass were characterised by clear seasonal changes in response to seasonal OM pulses. The strong coupling between protein flux and bacterial biomass together with the strong bacterial dominance over the total biomass suggest that the major part of the carbon flow was channelled through the bacteria and the benthic microbial loop.

Geochemistry at DSDP Holes 85-573B and 85-574C

Eocene-Oligocene metalliferous sediments and associated lithologies from the central equatorial Pacific are described in detail. Geochemical analyses of 54 sediment and 2 basalt samples are presented for 34 elements. Detailed stratigraphic and statistical analyses of these data, combined with mineralogic studies, indicate the presence of volcanic glass and seven main mineral phases: biogenic calcite and opal, Fe smectite, goethite, dMnO2, carbonate fluorapatite, and barite. Fe smectite formed by reactions between Fe oxyhydroxides and biogenic opal, causing the dissolution of calcite and the precipitation of barite. Diagenesis was oxic. Sediments have rare earth element distributions similar to those in seawater. The metal content of the sediments is related to competition between the supply rates of hydrothermal and biogenic particles, but has been enhanced by early diagenetic processes. Eocene-Oligocene metalliferous sediments compare closely to those currently being deposited in the Bauer Basin and on the flanks of the East Pacific Rise. There is, however, no evidence that they were deposited in close proximity to an active hydrothermal system.
