Nickel isotopic variation in black shales from Bohemia, China, Canada, and Finland: a reconnaissance study

Original language description

We present delta60Ni values for black shales, determined by double-spike MC-ICP-MS. The samples comprise Paleoproterozoic Talvivaara Ni–Zn–Co–Cu black shales from Finland, Neoproterozoic black shales from the Teplá Barrandian Unit, Czech Republic, Early Cambrian Ni–Mo-rich black shales from the Yangtze Craton, and Devonian Ni–Zn–PGE black shales from Yukon, Canada. In addition, the sample set includes a black smoker sample from the Logatchev hydrothermal field, Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The delta60Ni values vary from -0.84±0.09 to +0.62±0.04per mille (SD) with a median of -0.10per mille (n = 28). Ni isotopic compositions were predominantly lighter than those of abiotic terrestrial and extraterrestrial samples (0.15per mille and 0.27per mille), mantle (0.23per mille, Gall et al. 2017), present-day seawater (1.44per mille, Cameron and Vance 2014), dissolved Ni from riverine input (0.84per mille, Cameron and Vance 2014), ferromanganese crusts (0.9–2.5per mille, Gall et al. 2013), Devonian/Mississippian organic-rich marine sediments, lower Jurassic organic-rich marine sediments (0.2–2.5per mille, average 0.92per mille, n = 18, Porter et al. 2014), and euxinic sediments of the Black Sea (0.14–0.51per mille, Vance et al. 2016). However, the range of delta60Ni values in our black shale samples was close to that of the weathering products of mafic/ultramafic rocks (ore and soil samples) ranging from -0.60 to +0.30per mille (Ratié et al. 2015; Spivak-Birndorf et al. 2018), Ni sulfide ores hosted by Archean komatiites from Australia and Canada (-0.10 to -1.03per mille, average -0.70per mille, n = 8, Gueguen et al. 2013) and Archean Ni-rich magmatic sulfides from Zimbabwe (-0.28 to -0.47per mille, n = 6, Hoffman et al. 2014). Based on our observations and considering the extremely low contribution of direct biological uptake of Ni, and a dominant Ni residence in early Fe/Ni sulfides we suggest, that our mostly light Ni isotopic compositions in metal-rich black shales result from sulfidization of organic matter and Ni removal into sulfides.
