In anoxic marine sediments sulfur is considered to be essential to the formation of humic substances. It is also estimated that sulfur may play a crucial role in the degradation of wood buried in marine sediments. In order to confirm this prediction, we observed the tissue of fossil wood from the marine clay aged 1.1 million years by polarizing microscopy and SEM before the determination of its sulfur content by PIXE and EDXA, and its distribution by μ-PIXE. Results show that the sample contained about 6000 μg/g of total sulfur and tracheid cells with birefringence, which have probably preserved the original wood components contain less sulfur compared to those without birefringence, which are heavily degraded. This might suggest the participation of sulfur in the degradation or the formation of humic substances occurred in wood tissue during diagenesis.
