英文摘要:

The occurrence of seep carbonates is one of the characteristic features for cold seep sites at continental margins. The carbonates documented the venting history of methane-rich fluid. Compared to the chemoherm carbonates and carbonate pavements which formed on the sediment-water interface, chimney-like seep carbonates precipitated around fluid conduits below the sedi- ment-water interface therefore better recording information of the past fluid flow and composition. Here the chimney-like seep carbonate samples from the northeastern Dongsha area of the South China Sea were studied to understand the origin and nature of the venting fluids and their potential relationship with gas hydrate deposits underneath the seafloor. Based on the occurrence, morphology, petrology, mineralogy and C- and O- isotope compositions, combined with present and past bottom water temperatures and the timing of methane release events, the oxygen isotopic fractionation between calcite and water were used to estimate the equilibrium δ^18O values of the precipitating fluids. The δ^13C values ranging from -56.33‰ to -42.70‰ PDB and thus clearly show that the studied chimneys were mainly derived from biogenic methane oxidation. The calculated equilibrium δ^18O values of the precipitating fluids ranged from 1.9‰ ±0.3‰ to 0.6‰ ±0.3‰ V-SMOW, with an average of 1.4‰ ± 0.3‰ V-SMOW which is heavier than those of seawater even at the last glacial maximum. It is considered that the formation of chimney-like carbonates was closely related to methane hydrate dissociation in the area. The methane hydrates contributed as much as 45.7% of water to the venting fluids. It is suggested that the climate and environmental changes (e.g. sea-level lowering, down-cutting canyons and mass wasting) are the major mechanisms maybe responsible for the destabilization of methane hydrates in the study area. The extensive occurrence of seep carbonates indicates that a large amount of the methane released from methane hydrate dissociation has bee
