Curves showing rates of accumulation of various components of southern California basin sediments. Note the similarities and differences between curves for absohite rates of deposition and for the percentage compositions given in Fig. 2. Values for organic matter are at the surface of the sediment. (From Emery, 1960, fig. 208.) largely fragmentary although many of the major constituents present in the plankton of the overlying waters have been detected in recent marine deposits. The review of Vallentyne (1957) shows that more work has been done on the muds of lakes than on oceanic sediments and demonstrates the inadequacy of our state of knowledge. Only in the last two decades have adequate techniques become available for separating and identifying individual com])onnds rather than groups or families of organic substances. Two objectives have recently led to the intensive study of organic substances. The first is to obtain information of use to paleontology and perhaps to give.
