Lake Dziani Dzaha (Mayotte, Indian Ocean) : A modern analogue for type I kerogen formation

Résumé

Summary In the past, highly productive (hyper)saline and alkaline environments have proved propitious for large accumulation of sedimentary OM that led to the formation of Type I kerogens, such as those of the Green River Formation. A sediment core that covers most of the history of Lake Dziani Dzaha, a hypereutrophic saline, alkaline and mostly anoxic crater lakewhich waspostulatedto be a modern analogue of such environments, has been investigated using several analytical approaches comprising bulk (Rock-Eval and C, N, S elemental analyses), isotopic (δ13,14C, δ15N, δ18O, δ33,34,36S), and sedimentological descriptions. This study revealed that, despite strong environmental changes undergone by the lake since its formation, the conditions prevailing in the lake supported by a continuous high primary production have led to an excellent preservation of OM and to early diagenetic reductive and sulfurization processes which have yielded an exceptionally reduced character of the OM with respect to its short diagenetic history (< 6 ky). The similarities observed between the sediments of Lake Dziani Dzaha and some source rocks associated to Type I kerogens suggest that early diagenetic processes can have a strong and rapid impact on the accumulation of OM in some (semi)closed and highly productive aquatic ecosystems.
