英文摘要 | The Paleoproterozoic Koegas Subgroup (Transvaal Supergroup, South Africa) was deposited in the immediate prelude to the Great Oxidation Event (GOE), and can therefore shed light on oceanic paleoredox conditions just before atmospheric oxidation. Manganese enrichments of similar to 16 wt% in diagenetic kutnahorite horizons suggest that Mn2+ oxidation occurred, either by free O-2 or by an ancient photosystem. Iron and molybdenum isotope trends also support the existence of a Mn(4+ )oxide sediment flux, suggesting that the Koegas basin may have been redox stratified. Evidence from detrital and authigenic pyrite with mass-independently fractionated sulfur isotopes, however, suggests that the atmosphere was devoid of oxygen. To resolve this contradiction, this paper presents new constraints on pathways of Mn2+ oxidation from field, petrographic, stable isotope, and rare earth element and yttrium (REYSN) analysis of stromatolitic carbonates from the upper Koegas Subgroup. Ferroan dolostones and limestones preserve marine REYSN arrays with positive Ce-SN anomalies. These differences are explained by a redox stratified basin, whereby Mn2+ and CO3+ are oxidized at a redoxcline and Ce is adsorped onto sinking Mn oxide particles. Mn oxide particles and a negative Ce anomaly from the oxidized upper water column are transferred into carbonates accumulating above the redoxcline. Diagenetic fluids later reduce the Mn oxides to kutnahorite. Below the redoxcline, reduction of Mn oxides enriches carbonates in Mn and a positive Ce anomaly. This contribution adds evidence for the development of oxygen oases and redox-stratified basins before the GOE. Redox stratification was best developed during transgressions. During regressions, a deltaic system prograded into the Koegas Basin. High sedimentation rates likely allowed for preservation of detrital pyrite only in the deltaic sandstones, thus explaining the contradictory geochemical evidence. No previously unknown ancient photosystem of Mn oxidation is required to explain Mn oxidation. |
