Low total and inorganic carbon contents within the Taiwan Chelungpu fault system

We presented the total and inorganic carbon contents of core samples recovered from the Taiwan Chelungpu fault system, which slipped at the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake, and reported lower contents of inorganic carbon within the black gouge zone in FZB1136 (fault zone at depth 1136 m in Hole B) and in the black-material disks in FZB1194 and FZB1243.
