Methane-seep deposits of Tertiary to Jurassic ages showed the absence of n-tricosenes, but C-13-depleted n-tricosane (delta C-13 as low as -87 parts per thousand), a plausible diagenetic product, was observed in enhanced concentrations in 7 out of 9 samples studied. It is proposed that a preference of n-tricosane over the enveloping n-alkanes may provide a specific hydrocarbon fingerprint for the anaerobic cycling of methane in ancient settings.

In contrast to the well known Lower Devonian Kess-Kess mounds, the Hollard Mound is of Middle Devonian age. The facies in the core of this mud mound differs from that of the other parts of the mound, and exhibits signatures of ancient hydrocarbon venting. The carbonate phases of the core facies are derived from the oxidation of vent fluids and consist of clotted micrite, a cryptocrystalline carbonate associated with spheres of uncertain origin, and a calcitic rim cement (rim cement B). These vent carbonates show δ13C values in the range of −11 to −20% PDB indicating that some of their carbon is derived from isotopically light hydrocarbons. Fossiliferous micrite has been affected by hydrocarbon venting in the proximity of the vent site, which is indicated by intermediate δ13C values between vent carbonates and not affected sediments. Bivalves occur in dense populations within the core facies. They form autochthonous shell accumulations and are almost exclusively articulated. it is likely that these bivalves were dependent on chemosynthesis similar to their counterparts at modern vents. The vent deposits also exhibit an unusual prasinophyte assemblage, which might have been linked to the specific nutrient availability at the vent site. The ancient vent site is characterized by an enhanced carbonate precipitation and rapid lithification. The latter is corroborated by the three-dimensional preservation of phytoplankton (prasinophytes and acritarchs) and the occurrence of stromatactoid pores. An early phase of carbonate corrosion predating the formation of vent carbonates affected the fossiliferous micrite of the core facies and is thought to be related to a phase of H2S-rich venting."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/BF02537477"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/61776"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0172-9179"],["dc.relation.issn","1612-4820"],["dc.title","Signatures of hydrocarbon venting in a Middle Devonian Carbonate Mound (Hollard Mound) at the Hamar Laghdad (Antiatlas, Morocco)"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The accretion of the build-ups is promoted by the growth of centimetre-sized, methane-filled spheres constructed by calcifying microbial mats. Progressive mineralization of these spheres involves the early precipitation of strongly luminescent high-Mg-calcite rich in iron sulphides, and closely interfingered aragonite phases that finally create the stable (mega-) thrombolithic fabric of the towers. Within the microbial mats, microorganisms occur in distinctive spatial arrangements. Major players among the microbial consortia are the archaea groups ANME-1 and ANME-2, Crenarchaeota, and sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) of the Desulfosaricina/Desulfobacterium group.

The small, metersized Famennian limestone blocks are embedded in Carboniferous shales, implying later displacement. Primary deposition of the limestones apparently occurred below the depth limit of phototrophic organisms. The brachiopods belong to the genus Dzieduszyckia within the rhynchonellide superfamily Dimerelloidea. They occur in fantastic abundance, in a low-diversity faunal assemblage. The microbial limestones contain fossilized threadlike microorganisms of unknown affiliation. The enormous accumulation of brachiopods on the Famennian seafloor is best explained by the former existence of a seep. Crude oil was a major component of the seepage fluids, as indicated by the occurrence of pyrobitumen (metamorphosed petroleum) and delta C-13(carbonate) values as low as -12 parts per thousand, akin to the isotopic composition of carbonates forming at modern oil seeps. The lowest delta C-13 values in the Dzieduszyckia deposit are found for a carbonate phase referred to as banded/botryoidal cement. It is a fibrous, low-Mg calcite cement in the form of isopachous rims and botryoids that precipitated directly on and within brachiopod shells. The microbial limestones predominantly consist of this phase and therefore can be classified as cement framestones. Reticulate patterns of botryoidal aggregates and an elevated Sr content agree with an aragonite precursor of the banded/botryoidal cement.

In its direct aftermath microbial communities colonized some of the space left vacant after the severe decline of skeletal metazoans. The Permian-Triassic boundary microbialites were peculiarly abundant on low-latitude shallow-marine carbonate shelves of central Tethyan continents. Armenia features particularly well preserved and diverse basal Triassic sponge-microbial build-ups (BTSMBs), which were not studied in detail to date. Here, the Chanakhchi section in southern Armenia is described petrographically and by means of stable isotope analyses. The Armenian BTSMBs formed in a distally open marine setting on a pelagic carbonate ramp in the course of two phases of microbial growth during the Induan (Lower Triassic). The BTSMBs are represented by predominantly thrombolitic but also dendrolitic and digitate stromatolite biostromes and mounds that vary in height between 5 cm to 12 m. The digitate stromatolites are associated with calcium carbonate crystal fans (CCFs). Microfacies analyses revealed that the BTSMBs exhibit a number of different growth forms and internal fabrics. The formation of CCFs was apparently not devoid of biological influence and took place above the sediment surface. The abundance of sponges in the BTSMBs reveals that ecologically complex metazoan-microbial reefs have been present already early after the end-Permian mass extinction. However, the formation of biostromes and mounds did not depend on sponges or other metazoans. BTSMBs that formed during the second microbial growth phase revealed similar δ13C-values like the surrounding sediment. In contrast, the δ13Cmicrobialite and δ13Csediment values from the BTSMBs and CCFs of the first growth phase show a difference of up to + 2.3‰, suggesting a significant influence of photoautotrophy during microbially induced carbonate precipitation."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.palaeo.2017.11.056"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/61825"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.issn","0031-0182"],["dc.title","Sponge-microbial build-ups from the lowermost Triassic Chanakhchi section in southern Armenia: Microfacies and stable carbon isotopes"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Lipid distributions in these 'cold seep' carbonates and an associated microbial mat were investigated for process markers reflecting the presence and metabolic activity of distinctive methane-related biota. The samples contain free, irregular isoprenoid hydrocarbons, namely the tail-to-tail linked acyclic C-20-isoprenoid 2,6,11,15-tetra-methylhexadecane (crocetane), its C-25-homologue 2,6,10,15,19-pentamethylicosane (PMI), and several unsaturated derivatives thereof. Furthermore, specific acyclic and cyclic C-40-isoprenoids were released upon ether cleavage of the polar fraction from the carbonate. The abundance of these compounds indicates a pronounced role of particular Archaea in the biogeochemical cycling of carbon at methane seeps. Stable carbon isotopic analyses of these lipids reveal extraordinary depletions in C-13 corresponding to delta -values in the range of - 100 +/- 30 parts per thousand PDB, whereas other compounds show isotopic compositions normally observed for marine lipids (around - 30 parts per thousand PDB). The isotope data imply that the biosynthesis of the archaeal isoprenoids occurred in situ and involved the utilization of isotopically depleted, i.e, methane-derived, carbon. Apart from archaeal markers, the carbonate and the mat contain authigenic, framboidal pyrite and isotopically depleted fatty acids, namely iso-, and anteiso-branched compounds most likely derived from sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB). The indications for a tight association of these normally competitive organisms support a model invoking a syntrophic relationship of SRB with Archaea responsible for the anaerobic oxidation of methane. The biomarker patterns obtained from the Black Sea samples were further compared to those from a Oligocene seep carbonate (Lincoln Creek Formation, WA, USA) in order to evaluate their biomarker potential for ancient settings. The prominent occurrence of isotopically light crocetane (-112 parts per thousand) and PMI (-120 parts per thousand) meets the findings for the contemporary materials. Thus, isotopically depleted isoprenoids provide diagenetically stable fingerprints for the reconstruction of carbon cycling in both, modern and ancient methane seep systems.
