Paleogene marine and terrestrial development of the West Antarctic Rift System: Biomarker Data Set

Abstract: This data set includes biomarker data presented in Paleogene marine and terrestrial development of the West Antarctic Rift System. Included in the alkane sheet are the Terrestrial/aquatic (T/A) n-alkane ratio, total long (C27-C33)- and mid-chain (C23 and C25) n-alkane concentrations in uni...

Description
Summary:Abstract: This data set includes biomarker data presented in Paleogene marine and terrestrial development of the West Antarctic Rift System. Included in the alkane sheet are the Terrestrial/aquatic (T/A) n-alkane ratio, total long (C27-C33)- and mid-chain (C23 and C25) n-alkane concentrations in units of ng alkanes per g sediment extracted, and the n-alkane average chain-length (ACL). Included in the glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGT) sheet are the TEX86 sea surface temperature estimates with multiple calibrations discussed in the text, the MBT’5ME mean annual air temperature estimates, the branched and isoprenoid tetraether (BIT) index.
