Abstract:
Low concentrations of organic carbon in slowly accumulating sediments from Sites 597, 600, and 601 reflect a history of low marine productivity in the subtropical South Pacific since late Oligocene times. The distributions of n-alkanes, n-alkanoic acids, and n-alkanols provide evidence of the microbial alteration of sediment organic matter. Landderived hydrocarbons, possibly from eolian transport, dominate n-alkane distributions in these samples.
