The experience of LA—ICP determining of the isotopic composition of sulfur pyrite and arsenopyrite of gold deposits of the Baikal-patomsky plateau is considered. The technique is characterized. It is shown that all the studied samples have values δ34S and δ33S strictly corresponding to the law of mass-dependent fractionation of sulfur isotopes. A regular alleviation of the isotopic composition of sulfur of pyrite as its crystals grow for Sukhoi Log and the isotopic homogeneity of pyrite and pyrrhotite of the Golets Vysokhashiy deposit are established. It is concluded that the possible role of metamorphism of the Mamsko-Oronsky belt in the formation of isotopic homogeneity of ore sulfides.

Abstract. Earth system scientists working with radiocarbon in organic samples use a stable carbon isotope (δ13C) correction to account for mass-dependent fractionation, but it has not been evaluated for the soil gas environment, wherein both diffusive gas transport and diffusive mixing are important. Using theory and an analytical soil gas transport model, we demonstrate that the conventional correction is inappropriate for interpreting the radioisotopic composition of CO2 from biological production because it does not account for important gas transport mechanisms. Based on theory used to interpret δ13C of soil production from soil CO2, we propose a new solution for radiocarbon applications in the soil gas environment that fully accounts for both mass-dependent diffusion and mass-independent diffusive mixing.
