contents The Rock-Eval pyrolysis of rock samples and the elemental analysis of kerogens show clear differences between Messinian black shales and Pliocene-Pleistocene sapropels recovered during ODP Leg 107. The Messinian black shales are characterized by a large variety of compositions which probably reflects a great diversity of depositional and diagenetic paleoenvironments. In contrast, the Pliocene-Pleistocene sapropels, occurring as discrete layers in nannofossil oozes barren of organic carbon, constitute a rather homogeneous group in terms of organic content. A considerable contribution of terrestrial organic matter in the sapropels could mean that an identical phenomenon of terrestrial input has been periodically reproduced in the basin. The maturity and the nature of the organic matter are discussed with respect to anomalous values recorded for Tmax parameter.
