The Holocene-Pleistocene muds contain mainly chlorins, including oxidized forms (purpurins), in which the spectrum has an additional peak in the long-wave region (690-700 nm). All the sediments below the base of the Miocene, apart from the black-shale bands (Albian to Santonian), are low in organic matter and virtually free from tetrapyrrole pigments. Copper and nickel porphyrins in the DPEP and etio series represent the main forms of pigment in the black shales. There is also an oxidized porphyrin: tetrapyrrole-586. The etio type and the tetrapyrrole-586 may have been formed by aromatization from oxidized chlorins produced by early diagenesis from chlorophyll derivatives. That route appears more likely than thermal production because there are chlorins along with porphyrins at considerable depths (>1000 m below the ocean floor), so the thermal setting has been mild throughout the basin history.completedGeochemistry of rocks, soils, and sedimentsAngola BasinaromatizationAtlantic Oceanblack shaleboreholesbottom waterCenozoicchlorinschlorophyllclastic rocksCretaceousDeep Sea Drilling ProjectdiagenesisDSDP Site 530DSDP Site 532EhGlomar ChallengerIPODLeg 75marine sedimentsMesozoicorganic compoundsoxidationpaleoenvironmentphorbidespigmentsporphyrinspurpurinsQuaternarysedimentary rockssedimentsSouth AtlanticTertiarytetrapyrroletransformationsUpper CretaceousWalvis Ridgeurn:org.iodp:exp:75urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:75:site:530urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:75urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:75:site:532urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:75urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation9.230810.3108-19.4437-19.1115
