摘要

We studied discrete bivalve shell horizons in two gravity cores from seafloor pockmarks on the Vestnesa Ridge (approximate to 1200 m water depth) and western Svalbard (79 degrees 00 N, 06 degrees 55 W) to provide insight into the temporal and spatial dynamics of seabed methane seeps. The shell beds, dominated by two genera of the family Vesicomyidae: Phreagena s.l. and Isorropodon sp., were 20-30 cm thick and centered at 250-400 cm deep in the cores. The carbon isotope composition of inorganic (C-13 from -13.02 to +2.36) and organic (C-13 from -29.28 to -21.33) shell material and a two-end member mixing model indicate that these taxa derived between 8% and 43% of their nutrition from chemosynthetic bacteria. In addition, negative C-13 values for planktonic foraminifera (-6.7 parts per thousand to -3.1 parts per thousand), concretions identified as methane-derived authigenic carbonates, and pyrite-encrusted fossil worm tubes at the shell horizons indicate a sustained paleo-methane seep environment. Combining sedimentation rates with C-14 ages for bivalve material from the shell horizons, we estimate the horizons persisted for about 1000 years between approximately 17,707 and 16,680 years B.P. (corrected). The seepage event over a 1000 year time interval was most likely associated with regional stress-related faulting and the subsequent release of overpressurized fluids.
