3D van Krevelen diagrams illustrating the molecular composition of the organic matter preserved in the different parts (apical, lateral, and core) of the moonmilk speleothem and bedrock located in: (A) the innermost zone of the cave; (B) the middle zone of the cave; and (C) the proximity of the cave entrance. The molecular composition of the soil sample (collected above the cave) is indicated in (D). The organic compounds released by Py-GC/MS were represented in the space defined by their atomic H/C and O/C ratios
