We obtained sulfur isotope analysis results of sulfide samples from hydrothermal vent chimneys of the eastern Pontide volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits. The total range of δ34S values for vent chimneys in the eastern Pontide VMS deposits is – to per mil. Sulfide δ34S values show narrow variation in the Lahanos, Killik, and Kutlular deposits, but wider variation in the Kızılkaya and Çayeli deposits. | Sulfur isotope study of vent chimneys from Upper Cretaceous volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits of the eastern Pontide metallogenic belt, NE Turkey
