Sedimentary Mercury Enrichments as a Tracer of Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Toxic gases can be emitted when sulfides form compounds with heavy metals; thus, a series of pretreatments are required prior to the analysis of sulfur isotope ratios to remove unnecessary elements.

Diversity of Sulfur Isotope Fractionations by Sulfate-Reducing Prokaryotes [PDF]
ABSTRACT Batch culture experiments were performed with 32 different sulfate-reducing prokaryotes to explore the diversity in sulfur isotope fractionation during dissimilatory sulfate reduction by pure cultures. The selected strains reflect the phylogenetic and physiologic diversity of presently known sulfate reducers and cover a ...

Organosulfur Aerosols Likely Carried Sulfur MIF Signatures in the Early Earth’s Atmosphere
Signatures of mass‐independent fractionation (MIF) of sulfur in Archean sulfide and sulfate minerals are widely thought to record an anoxic early Earth’s atmosphere.

Digging Deeper: Bioturbation increases the preserved sulfur isotope fractionation
Bioturbation enhances mixing between the seafloor and overlying ocean due to changes the redox state of the sediment and influences the biogeochemical cycling of redox-sensitive elements such as sulfur. Before the widespread appearance of burrowing fauna

We investigated the influence of organic substrates and phosphate concentration on the rates of dissimilatory microbial sulfate reduction and the 34S/32S isotopic fractionation produced by several Desulfovibrio species.

Recombination Reactions as a Possible Mechanism of Mass-Independent Fractionation of Sulfur Isotopes in the Archean Atmosphere of Earth [PDF]
A hierarchy of isotopically substituted recombination reactions is formulated for production of sulfur allotropes in the anoxic atmosphere of Archean Earth.

Sulfur isotope rations of sulfide minerals from the deposit of the Tsuchikura mine, Shiga Prafecture, Japan [PDF]
Sulfur isotope rations of sulfide minerals in the ore specimens from the deposit of the Tsuchikura mine are distrib-uted in a range from -0.8 to 5.4%, mostly from +0.5 to 3.0%, close to the previous data (from +1 to +3%) by Miyake and Sasaki (1980).

Fraction of Sulfur Isotopes during Reduction [PDF]
Barium sufaa labelled with sulfur-35 was reduced, and hydrogen sulfide evolved from the reactions was entrained with carben dioxide. The gas was led into two absorbing cells in series, the first of which contrined a known amount of aqueous zinc acetaa, for radioactivity measurement, and the second contained cadmium carbonate for sufide deaction.
