Ferruginous conditions prevailed in the oceans through much of Earth’s history. However, minerals recording these conditions remain difficult to interpret in terms of biogeochemical processes prior to lithification. In Lake Towuti, Indonesia, ferruginous sediments are deposited under anoxic sulfate-poor conditions similar to the Proterozoic oceans, allowing the study of mineralogical (trans)formations during microbial diagenesis. Comprehensive pore water geochemistry, high resolution geochemical core profiles, and electron microscopy of authigenic minerals revealed in situ formation of magnetite, millerite, and abundant siderite and vivianite along a 100 m long sequence. Framboidal magnetites represent primary pelagic precipitates, whereas millerite, a sulfide mineral often overlooked under sulfate-poor conditions, shows acicular aggregates entangled with siderite and vivianite resulting from saturated pore waters and continuous growth during burial. These phases act as biosignatures of microbial iron and sulfate reduction, fermentation and methanogenesis, processes clearly traceable in pore water profiles. Variability in metal and organic substrates attests to environment driven processes, differentially sustaining microbial processes along the stratigraphy. Geochemical profiles resulting from microbial activity over 200 kyr after deposition provide constraints on the depth and age of mineral formation within ferruginous records.

Stable calcium isotopes have been used to suggest that subducted marine carbonates are frequently involved in the formation of carbonatites. Significant Ca isotope fractionations during carbonatite petrogenesis, however, could lead to a dramatically different picture. We present Ca isotope data for (i) coexisting (immiscible) carbonatite and silicate melts from high temperature centrifuging piston cylinder experiments, (ii) primary apatite and calcite/dolomite from natural carbonatites, and (iii) ab initio estimates for equilibrium Ca isotope partitioning in calcite, dolomite, and ankerite. Carbonatitic melts have lower δ44Ca than their conjugate silicate melts, with an equilibrium fractionation factor [1000lnα(1000K)] of −0.21 ± 0.06 (tSE). We develop a quantitative four stage model for carbonatite petrogenesis (partial melting followed by fractional crystallisation, silicate-carbonatite melt immiscibility, and calcite/apatite accumulation) that fully explains our natural data (average δ44CaBSE of −0.30 ± 0.03 ‰) and those from recent studies, without requiring isotopic contributions from recycled marine carbonates. Our results suggest that lighter isotopes of similarly bound cations (e.g., Mg, Fe, Sr, Ba, Zn) should be preferentially incorporated into carbonatitic melts and that calciocarbonatite formation involves melt immiscibility after differentiation of mantle-derived alkaline CO2-bearing silicate melts.

Analytical methods SIMS U–Pb Sample AC13 was collected by Stephen Moorbath from the University of Oxford in July 1995, from 500 metres NNW of the Acasta camp. Zircon crystals from sample AC13 were analysed for U–Th–Pb isotopes using the SHRIMP II ion probe at Curtin University following standard operating procedures (Wingate and Kirkland, 2014). The zircon surface was sputtered with a primary, mass-filtered (O2) − beam with ~ 2 nA current, focused to a ~ 15 μm spot. The mass resolution, M/ΔM, was better than 5000. Twenty-two analyses of the 91500 zircon reference material (Wiedenbeck et al., 1995) were obtained during the session, all of which indicate an external spot-to-spot (reproducibility) uncertainty of 1.33% (1σ) and a U/Pb calibration uncertainty of 0.45% (1σ). These calibration uncertainties are included in the calculated uncertainties on U/Pb* ratios and dates listed in Table S1. The OG1 zircon reference material was analysed as an unknown and yielded a weighted mean Pb/Pb age of 3458 ± 7 Ma (MSWD = 0.51, n = 5), within accepted values (Stern et al., 2009). No fractionation correction on Pb/Pb was deemed necessary. Common-Pb corrections were applied to all analyses using contemporaneous common Pb determined according to the model of Stacey and Kramers (1975) based on Pb counts. The Excel-based program Squid 2 (Ludwig, 2001) was used for data processing and data were plotted using Isoplot (Ludwig, 2003).
