The principal gaseous carbon-containing components identified in the first 400 m of sediment at Deep Sea Drilling Project Site 533, Leg 76, are methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Below a sub-bottom depth of about 25 m, sediment cores commonly contained pockets caused by the expansion of gas upon core recovery. The carbon isotopic composition (δC %0 relative to PDB standard) of CH4 and CO2 in these gas pockets has been measured, resulting in the following observations: (1) δ 1 3 C C H 4 values increase with depth from approximately -94% in the uppermost sediment to about -66% in the deepest sediment, reflecting a systematic but nonlinear depletion of C with depth. (2) δ 1 3 C c θ 2 values also increase with depth of sediment from about 25% to about 4%, snowing a depletion of C that closely parallels the trend of the isotopic composition of CH4. The magnitude and parallel distribution of δ C values for both CH4 and CO2 are consistent with the concept that the formation of the CH4 resulted from the microbiological reduction of CO2 from organic substances. These results imply that CH4 and CO2 incorporated in gas hydrates at this site are biogenic.
