34s values in recent sea sediments, respectively, the quantitative concentrations of total sulfur, sulfate, sulfide, chloride, organic carbon, iron, and water were determined.
The majority of the sulfur present in the sea sediment (0.3–2% of the dry sample) was added only after sedimentation. Only a negligible amount of the sediment's sulfur content is caused by the organic material. Sulfur in the sea sediment has a known source, which is sulfate in the pore-waters. The exchange of sulfate through diffusion during normal sedimentation occurs down to a sediment depth of 4-6 cm, which is significant for variations in the sulfur concentration.
The subsequent sandy and clay-like layers in the cores revealed no variation in the (34)S values. However, it appears that (34)S values are influenced by sedimentation rate. When compared to cores with larger sedimentation rates, the (34)S values in one core with a comparatively modest sedimentation rate ranged from 29 to 33.
