Berner, U. and Bertrand, P. (1990). Evaluation of the Paleo-geothermal gradient at site 768 (SULU Sea). Geophysical Research Letters 17: doi: 10.1029/90GL02122. issn: 0094-8276.

Paleo-temperature gradients for Site 768 are determined by modelling organic maturites. It is found that the measured maturity of the organic matter cannot be attributed to the present-day thermal gradient of 130 ¿C/Km. From a comparison between modelled and measured maturities a high paleo-gradient of 250 ¿C/km is derived. ¿American Geophysical Union 1990
