Abstract:

This file contains the sample names, age of samples (BP), alkane concentration reported as chain length (n-C'X') as ug/g of sediment, Average Chain Length (ACL), Chain Preference Index (CPI), d13C values reported as chain length (n-C'X') as ‰ PDB, and d2H values reported as chain length (n-C'X') as ‰ VSMOW. Samples were processed at the University of Cincinnati based of the methods of Corcoran et al. (2022).
