Native selenium as a byproduct of microbial oxidation of distorted pyrite crystals: the first occurrence in the Carpathians
Keyword(s):
Abstract Acicular crystals of native selenium up to 30 μm long occur together with barite on the surface of goethite partial pseudomorphs after millimeter-sized pseudotetragonal-prismatic pyrite crystals in calcite veins that cross-cut Senonian sandstones of the Silesian Nappe in the western Polish Outer Carpathians. Native selenium originated from selenium apparently released during bacteria-induced oxidation of pyrite at neutral or near-neutral pH conditions. Oxidizing bacteria preferentially colonized {100} faces of pyrite relative {111} faces.
