Marine authigenic carbonates form shallow-water microbialites, mud mounds, and
hydrocarbon-seep deposits and contain appreciable amounts of trace elements that yield …

Authigenic carbonates recovered from two newly discovered active cold seeps on the
northwestern slope of the South China Sea have been studied using petrography …

Seepage of methane-rich fluids, are widespread along the continental margins of the world.
Intense seepages of methane may lead to the emission of this powerful greenhouse gas into …

Sulfate-driven anaerobic oxidation of methane (SO 4-AOM) in marine sediments commonly
leads to the precipitation of pyrite. It is, however, frequently challenging to unequivocally …

Authigenic carbonates that form at marine hydrocarbon seeps provide a unique geological
archive of past local environmental conditions and pore fluid geochemistry. Recent work on …

Bathymodiolus mussels of the Mytilidae family live in ecological niches at marine vent sites
where hydrothermal fluids discharge at the seafloor and mix with ambient seawater. We …

The ΣREE and shale-normalized (PAAS) REESN values of modern brachiopods (biogenic
low-Mg calcite: bLMC) represented by several species from high-to low latitudes, from …

Authigenic carbonates forming at an active methane-seep on the Makran accretionary prism
mainly consist of aragonite in the form of microcrystalline, cryptocrystalline, and botryoidal …

Anaerobic oxidation of methane in anoxic sediments at cold seeps often leads to formation
of authigenic carbonates close to the seafloor along continental margins. Recent work …

Trace element and rare earth element (REE) concentrations in cold seep carbonates from
the northern continental slope of the South China Sea are used in this study to indicate …
