The C15+ hydrocarbon geochemistry of sediments from Sites 618 and 619 (Orca and Pigmy basins) has been examined as part of a biogeochemical study of microbial activity and biological markers in Leg 96 sediments. Total hydrocarbon concentrations (13-78 µg/g dry weight) are elevated in comparison to t...
