Scientific paper

By means of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, both C60 and C70 fullerenes are found in a carbon-rich Precambrian rock from Russia. The fullerenes were confirmed by Fourier-transform mass spectrometry with both laser desorption and thermal desorption/electron-capture methods to verify that the fullerenes were indeed present in the geological sample and were not generated by the laser-ionization event. The mass spectra were measured under conditions sufficient to resolve the C-13/C-12 isotopic ratios for C60 and C70 and indicate that these ratios correspond to the normal range of isotopic values.
