Abstract
We investigated the solvent-extractable lipids of a Quaternary diatomaceous ooze from the Guaymas Basin. The section contained high concentrations of lipids, principally derived from algae. We also recognized components derived from bacterial and terrestrial sources. Major dinoflagellate blooms were indicated by the presence of dinosterol as the major component. The lipid composition was typical of that of Recent marine sediments and reflected a very early stage of lipid diagenesis. -Authors
