Abstract
Paleo‐temperature gradients for Site 768 are determined by modelling organic maturities. 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 paleogradient of 250°C/KM is derived.
