Biomarker and carbon isotopic evidence of marine incursions in the Himalayan Foreland Basin during its overfilled stage
Description
- The supporting figures provide the process ofestimation of ages, spectra of processedsample blanks and standards used. Some ternary and bivariate plots showing the OM sources and paleo-depositional conditions. Field photographs and some thin-section of the sandstone units are also providedas supporting files. Lastly, the lithostratigraphic correlation was done with other eastern foreland sections to identify the paleo-depositional condition of the HFB.
- The supporting tables provide an overview of the n-alkane and biomarker proxy ratios used to ascertain the organic sources and paleo-depositional conditions in the Tista valley sample in the eastern Himalayan foreland basin. A table has also been provided that show the biomarkers (hopane and steranes) that are identified in the Tista valley samples. Additionally, there are three consecutive tables that show temporal n-alkane, biomarker and d13C distribution in the sample.
