英文摘要 | The removal of dissolved iron by oxygen was a key control on marine Ca-carbonate precipitation during the Archean, but many details remain poorly resolved. We examined thick carbonate platforms,-2.9-2.8 Ga, in the western Superior Province of Canada. Interlayered Fe and Ca-carbonate minerals suggest platform margin pre-cipitation, both as seafloor crusts and in the water column, during mixing of anoxic offshore and oxygenated onshore water masses in dynamic chemoclines. Platform interiors were subject to short-lived influxes of Fe-rich anoxic offshore waters that variously precipitated aragonite, herringbone calcite, Fe-dolomite, and rare siderite. Overall, these observations are consistent with chemical equilibrium analysis assuming three co-existing confluent carbonate water masses: (i) offshore anoxic iron-rich seawater, precipitating Fe-carbonate, (ii) a chemocline mixing zone variously precipitating interlayered aragonite, calcite and Fe oxide, (iii) onshore iron-poor seawater precipitating calcite and aragonite in an 'Oxygen Oasis'. In this system, Fe2+, at -3 orders of magnitude lower level, supersedes the effect of Mg2+ on Ca-carbonate mineralogy. Only when sufficient Fe2+ was removed by oxygenation did the relative concentrations of Mg2+ and Ca2+ determine CaCO3 mineralogy. Plat-form margin chemoclines created by oxygen production likely persisted throughout the Archean. |
