| contents | Proto-kerogens were isolated, by extraction and HF/HC1 treatment, from core samples of Holocene sediments of the Cariaco Trench, with interpolated ages of 900, 2850 and 6000 years, and examined via a combination of microscopic, spectroscopic and pyrolytic methods. It appears that these proto-kerogens were chiefly formed from phytoplanktonic components via the degradation-recondensation pathway. The natural sulfurisation pathway only afforded a minor contribution, in spite of the conditions prevailing in the water column and sediments that correspond to those generally considered as especially favourable for the formation of sulfurised organic matter. Proto-kerogen formation via sulfurisation, i.e. the endpoint of the continuum leading to insoluble high molecular weight structures cross-linked by sulfur and resistant to acid hydrolysis, is therefore a rather slow process under these conditions. However, the contribution of sulfurised moieties to the total proto-kerogen substantially increased with depth due to continuous sulfurisation in the time/depth interval, whereas formation through degradation-recondensation is almost complete for the 900 years old sample onwards. Proto-kerogen formation via carbohydrate sulfurisation is faster than lipid sulfurisation and only sulfurised carbohydrates were detected in the shallowest sample. In contrast, sulfurised lipids occur in the other two proto-kerogens. Moreover, their contribution relative to sulfurised carbohydrates increases with depth, probably due to the higher resistance of lipids to mineralisation compared to carbohydrates. |
