Copper and its Isotopes in Organic-Rich Sediments: From the Modern Peru Margin to Archean Shales

Abstract: The cycling of copper (Cu) and its isotopes in the modern ocean is controlled by the interplay of biology, redox settings, and organic complexation. To help build a robust understanding of Cu cycling in the modern ocean and investigate the potential processes controlling its behavior in the geological past, this study presents Cu abundance and isotope data from modern Peru Margin sediments as well as from a suite of ancient, mostly organic-rich, shales. Analyses of an organic-pyrite fraction extracted from bul… Show more

“…Authigenic Cu in modern organic-rich sediments is generally similar in isotopic composition to Fe-Mn sediments and suspended particulate material collected from the South Atlantic, all at about +0.3‰ (Little et al, 2017b;Ciscato et al, 2019). This homogeneity in authigenic Cu isotope compositions has been suggested to reflect an equilibrium isotope fractionation in the aqueous phase between organically complexed Cu and inorganic Cu 2+ , with the latter approximately 0.4‰ lighter than ligand-bound Cu, followed by near quantitative scavenging of inorganic Cu 2+ by (any type of) particulate material (Little et al, 2017b;.…”

“…Despite the strong reactivity of Cu toward sulfide, and unlike Zn (Section 4.3.4) and Mo (Section 7.2.3), Cu in euxinic sediments from the Black Sea and Cariaco Basin does not record open marine δ 65 Cu (Little et al., 2017). In fact, authigenic Cu in modern organic‐rich sediments (from both euxinic basins and continental margin settings) is generally similar in isotopic composition to Fe–Mn sediments and to suspended particulate material collected from the South Atlantic, all at about +0.3‰ (Ciscato et al., 2019; Little et al., 2018; Little et al., 2017). The homogeneity in authigenic sedimentary Cu isotope compositions has been suggested to reflect an equilibrium isotope fractionation in the aqueous phase between organically complexed Cu and inorganic Cu 2+ , with the latter ∼0.4‰ lighter than ligand‐bound Cu, followed by near quantitative scavenging of inorganic Cu 2+ by particulate material of any type (Little et al., 2018; Little et al., 2017).…”

“…It is also well known that the degradation of OM in the first stages of diagenesis releases Cu and Ni in a soluble form in interstitial waters, and these metals can then diffuse back to the water column (Chester, 1990;Widerlund, 1996;Charriau et al, 2010;Marchand et al, 2016;Ciscato et al, 2019), or be incorporated into authigenic phases, depending on specific conditions of early diagenesis (François, 1988;Huerta-Diaz and Morse, 1990, 1992Berner et al, 2013).…”
