Abstract
Data obtained on the distribution patterns of biomarker hydrocarbons (n-alkanes, isoprenanes, steranes, and terpanes) in oils, organic matter in rocks, prokaryotes, and thermolysis products of the insoluble part of prokaryotic biomass indicate that the relatively high concentration of diasteranes (rearranged steranes) in the organic matter of rocks and in oils generated by clay strata is caused by characteristics of the original organic matter but not by the process of isomerization of regular steranes, as has been previously thought.
期刊介绍:
Geochemistry International is a peer reviewed journal that publishes articles on cosmochemistry; geochemistry of magmatic, metamorphic, hydrothermal, and sedimentary processes; isotope geochemistry; organic geochemistry; applied geochemistry; and chemistry of the environment. Geochemistry International provides readers with a unique opportunity to refine their understanding of the geology of the vast territory of the Eurasian continent. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries in the English or Russian language.
