Abstract
At the Cretaceous/Tertiary (K/T) boundary within the continuous marine sedimentary sequence of Kawaruppu section in the eastern Hokkaido, a temporary and drastic increase in 34S/32S ratio of whole rock sulfide has been recognized. Pyrite is the major sulfur carrier in many of the present samples. It is remarkable that the sedimentary sequence records a sharp and drastic increase in 34S/32S ratio just at the bottom of the boundary claystone with a rather gradual, upward re-equilibration trend from the boundary. This is fairly analogous in variation pattern to the palynological (pollen/spore ratio) profiles reported from some K/T boundary sections. -from Authors
