Description:
The solvent-extractable organic fractions of sediment samples from six Ocean Drilling Program Leg 117 sites were investigated by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Sediments deposited in the Indus Fan (Site 720) as well as Miocene sediments from the Owen Ridge (Sites 722 and 731) contain almost exclusively organic matter of terrigenous origin. The organic matter in sediments from the Oman Margin (Sites 723, 725, and 728) and in the Pliocene/Pleistocene sections from the Owen Ridge is mainly of a marine origin with variable admixtures of terrigenous material. In these latter samples strong variations of the lipid composition and distribution are noted. However, the interpretation of the relation to potential biological sources is hampered by a lack of information on the possible lipid composition of appropriate organisms.
