Biomarker and carbon isotopic evidence of marine incursions in the Himalayan Foreland Basin during its overfilled stage

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.
