Enhanced preservation of marine-derived organic matter in Cenomanian black shales from the southern Angola Basin
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the compositions of organic matter in three pairs of closely-bedded black and green Cenomanian claystones obtained from Site 530 and found that the organic matter of the black shales is more marine and better preserved than that of the green claystones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sedimentary record of sources and accumulation of organic matter in Pyramid Lake, Nevada, over the past 1,000 years
TL;DR: The authors examined the organic matter contents of two 210Pb-dated cores of sediment from Pyramid Lake for consequences of the historic environmental and limnological changes that have occurred since modem settlement of this region began in the 1850s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrologic influence on the δ13C variation in long chain n-alkanes in the Dajiuhu peatland, central China
Xianyu Huang,Jiantao Xue,Philip A. Meyers,Linfeng Gong,Xinxin Wang,Qiao Liu,Yangmin Qin,Hongmei Wang +7 more
TL;DR: The study reveals that the isotopic signals from symbiotic methanotrophs and the associated hydrological conditions can be preserved in peat deposits through the preferential accumulation of the lower parts of Sphagnum in peAT layers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in spruce composition following burial in lake sediments for 10,000 yr
TL;DR: In this article, the compositions of wood and needles from a modern white spruce (Picea glauca) with those from a 10,000 yr old tree buried in a lake bottom were compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing paleohydrologic controls on the hydrogen isotope compositions of leaf wax n-alkanes in Chinese peat deposits
Xianyu Huang,Philip A. Meyers +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of modern processes in the Dajiuhu peatland of central China, complemented by results from other peatlands and nearby non-peatland sites, evaluate how the 2H/1H ratio changes from source water to leaf water and then to lipids in leaf waxes and ultimately to peat deposits.
