Abstract
Three core samples from Hole 217 and one from Hole 218 were analyzed for organic carbon, C\ to Cη and detailed C4 to C7 hydrocarbons, C45+ hydrocarbon and nonhydrocarbons, and visual kerogen. In the Ci to C7 range only methane was present in amounts greater than 1 ppm. However, a detailed analysis showed 10 hydrocarbons present in the C4 to C7 range from the Hole 218 sample cored at 769 meters. The C15+ saturates in all samples contained about 90% naphthenes. The paraffins had CPI's ranging from 1.4 to 1.8. The deepest samples in Holes 217 and 218 contained well-preserved coarse to medium woody plant debris.
