Distributions of n -paraffins in recent sediments differ from those in petroleum in that n -paraffins with odd-carbon numbers predominate in recent sediments but not in petroleum. A hypothesis proposed to explain this difference predicts a change from a preference for evencarbon-numbered fatty acids in recent sediments to no preference in petroleum reservoir waters. Studies of fatty acid distributions support this prediction and provide evidence for a relationship between fatty acid and n -paraffin distributions.
