Short summary
Compound-specific δ13C and Δ14C of lipids show that marine organic carbon (OC) in Black and Arabian Sea sediment trap material accounted for 66-100% of OC, with lower terrigenous (3-8%) and relict (4-16%) contributions. Marine OC in sediments was lower (66-90%), but terrigenous and relict OC were higher (3-17% and 7-13%). Sinking OC is overwhelmingly marine, but pre-aged terrigenous and relict OC are better preserved during delivery to the sediments.
