Journal ArticleDOI

Methane-consuming archaebacteria in marine sediments

TL;DR: Studies of sediments related to a decomposing methane hydrate provide strong evidence that methane is being consumed by archaebacteria that are phylogenetically distinct from known methanogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for gammacerane as an indicator of water column stratification

TL;DR: The conclusion that gammacerane is an indicator for water column stratification, which solves two current enigmas in gammalerane geochemistry, is concluded.
Journal ArticleDOI

Compound-specific isotopic analyses: a novel tool for reconstruction of ancient biogeochemical processes.

TL;DR: It is shown that isotopic differences between geolipids and porphyrins related to a common source are equal to those observed in modern biosynthetic products, consistent with preservation of biologically controlled isotopic compositions during diagenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The abundance of 13c in marine organic matter and isotopic fractionation in the global biogeochemical cycle of carbon during the past 800 ma

TL;DR: For the later Neoproterozoic, from 800 to 543 Ma (346 analyses), from the Cambrian through the Jurassic (1616 analyses), and from the Cretaceous and Cenozoic (2493 analyses) the abundance of 13 C in marine organic matter has been compiled as discussed by the authors.
