Abstract:
Organic carbon, total nitrogen, carbonate carbon, and carbonate oxygen isotopic compositions were measured for 95 samples selected from the black shale sequences drilled during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 207 on the Demerara Rise. Most samples have organic delta (super 13) C values smaller than -27 per mil, with the exception of several samples that have values between -24.9 per mil and -23.9 per mil that may correspond to oceanic anoxic events. Bulk delta (super 15) N values range between -4.2 per mil and +4.4 per mil and become smaller as organic carbon concentrations increase. Comparison of the delta (super 15) N values of nondecarbonated samples to their decarbonated analogs reveals no systematic effect of the acid treatment used in the decarbonation.
