In the present study, we have investigated the C–S–Fe systematics in a sediment core (MD161-13) from the Krishna-Godavari (K-G) basin, Bay of Bengal. The core covers the late Holocene period with high overall sedimentation rate of ∼573 cm kyr−1. Pore fluid chemical analyses indicate that the depth of the present sulfate methane transition zone (SMTZ) is at ∼6 mbsf. The (ΔTA + ΔCa + ΔMg)/ inline image ratios suggest that both organoclastic degradation and anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) drive sulfate reduction at the study site. The positive correlation between total organic carbon content (TOC) and chromium reducible sulfur (CRS) content indicates marked influence of organoclastic sulfate reduction on sulfidization. Coupled occurrence of 34S-enriched... |
