Abstract
Qualitative and quantitative studies of pigments in marine sediments, using chromatographic and spectrophotometric methods, showed the presence of degradation products of chlorophylls; some of their optical properties are given. It is concluded that pigments decompose rapidly in aerated, coarse-grained sediment whereas in deeper layers of the same sediment, under anaerobic conditions, decomposition is slow....
