(Table 1) Gas molecules, isotopic composition and delta Deuterium in DSDP Holes 95-603D and 95-613

Methane is the major hydrocarbon gas measured in Vacutainer samples from Holes 603D and 613 ( C1/sumCn > 0.999). In Hole 613 the concentration of this dry hydrocarbon gas is highest (7.4 x 10 **5 ppm max.) in the upper 60 to 120 m, then decreases erratically to low trace levels by 261 m sub-botto...
