On carbonate rock samples from a post-Miocene native sulfur deposit in south-eastern Poland, the stable isotope composition of primary and secondary calcite, primary aragonite, native sulfur, and secondary celestite were sampled between 1981 and 1985 and investigated in 1992. The carbonates and elemental sulfur are formed from oxidation of biogenic methane during reduction of Miocene calcium sulfates, celestite formed during aragonite-calcite recrystallization. The investigation aims to understand the biogeochemical processes associated to mineral (trans)formation. The trace elements (Sr, Mg, Mn, Ba, Na) bond to the carbonate lattice are measured to estimate the parent solution composition. Results are published in Böttcher & Parafiniuk (1998) in the journal Isotopes in Environmental & Health Studies. ** For all details see the full metadata description at "https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.995700"! ** The file contains geochemical analytical data derived from carbonate rocks of a native sulfur deposit at Machów in SE Poland. This includes the stable carbon and oxygen isotope as well as trace element (Sr, Mg, Mn, Ba, Na) composition of primary and secondary calcite and aragonite, and the S and O isotope composition of secondary celestite. In mixed carbonate samples, relative proportions of calcite to aragonite are determined by powder X-ray diffraction.
