Heavy hydrocarbons (~C15 + ) are ubiquitous but minor components in sediment from three sites (692, 693, and 694) drilled during Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 113. This preliminary report is the first to describe the distribution of some of these hydrocarbons in sediment of the Weddell Sea. Sampl...
