Notes: * = excludes initially released gas increments that are diluted by dead volume of manifold system. BD = below detection. † = obtained for selected samples from each core using methods described in "Organic geochemistry" in the "Methods" chapters (Table T6) except for Core 311-U1329C-2P (continuous analysis during degassing experiment).
