Even-carbon number C 22 -C 28 n -alkanes, are present in higher concentrations than their C 21 -C 29 odd-carbon number homologs in an organic-rich rock of Mississippian ( ca . 310 × 10 6 -yr-old) age, which contains algae-like remnants. Environmental indicators associated with this organic-rich rock permitted environmental comparison with ancient and modern environments that contain n -alkanes which exhibit similar distributions. The results of these comparisons suggest that even-carbon number n -alkanes are preferentially produced in highly saline, carbonate environments where aerobic and anaerobic bacteria have subsisted on the remains of blue-green algae.
