Abstract:
Sediments collected from three continental slope sites of Leg 67 have been examined for total organic carbon content and amount of the sterols beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol. The amount of beta-sitosterol relative to stigmasterol is found to increase landward in the sediment, despite differing ages of the samples studied. The ratio of beta-sitosterol to stigmasterol in near-shore sediments is proposed as a source proximity indicator.
