This document discusses different types and origins of sulphur deposits. It begins by providing background on sulphur isotopes and standards. It then describes two main types of sulphur deposits: (1) Type 1 igneous sulphur that forms from volcanic gases, as seen on Mount Etna in Sicily. (2) Type 2 biogenic sulphur that forms via bacterial sulfate reduction in evaporite deposits, as seen in mines in Sicily and Texas where bacteria break down gypsum in the presence of water and organic matter. The document discusses features of these biogenic deposits that indicate bacterial alteration of original gypsum beds.
