Abstract. Authigenic carbonate mineralization in the gas hydrate-bearing seep “VNIIOkeangeology” located in the Deryugin Basin of the Sea of Okhotsk was studied. A feature of the studied carbonates is the heavy carbon isotope composition (δ13C) in the Mg-calcite sample (up to +9.3‰), as well as the presence of ikaite, an unstable mineral (CaCO3 6H2O), crystallizing at low temperatures. A model for the formation of the discovered authigenic carbonates under conditions of early diagenesis is proposed: destruction of organic matter and methane generation. The processes of anaerobic oxidation of methane were not involved in the crystallization of carbonates.

Keywords: ikaite, Mg calcite, Sea of Okhotsk, Deryugin Basin, early diagenesis, gas hydrates
