Abstract:
Microscopic studies reveal a predominance of terrestrial organic matter in sediments of Site 808. Terrestrial vitrinite and inertinite are more abundant (73% to 100%) than marine organic matter (alginite, 0% to 27%), which increases from open oceanic deposits of the Shikoku Basin sediments to sediments of the outer trench wedge. The abundance of terrestrial organic matter is also reflected through carbon isotope values of -23 per mil to -25.9 per mil. Mass accumulation rates of organic carbon are low in hemipelagic sediments of the Shikoku Basin (<0.2 g/cm**2/k.y.) but increase significantly in sediments of the Nankai Trench (0.2 to 1.7 g/cm**2/k.y.). Although the organic mass accumulation is high in sediments of the Nankai Trench, a comparison of sedimentation rates and total organic carbon suggests relative dilution of organic carbon through turbidite flows. Calculated marine paleoproductivity of organic carbon is low in sediments of the open ocean (Shikoku Basin) and increases closer to the shore (Nankai Trench). Thermal evolution of organic matter is obtained from vitrinite reflectance measurements. Two populations of vitrinites have been observed between 600 and 1234 mbsf. Reflectance values change with increasing depth and temperature in both groups of vitrinite (0.3% to 0.68% in group 1; 0.6% to 1% in group 2).
