Abstract
Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry data of the "aromatic hydrocarbon" fractions of nearly 100 Deep Sea Drilling Project and Ocean Drilling Program sediment samples have been re-examined for the occurrence of organic sulfur compounds. Approximately 70% of the samples contain OSC with varying distribution patterns, although C₂₀ isoprenoid thiopenes are invariably present.
