The occurrence of C 12 ---C 22 n -alkanes with a strong even carbon-number preference is reported in recent and Miocene sediments, encompassing marine and freshwater systems, deposited under oxic and anoxic conditions. It is therefore shown that these n -alkanes can be found in a wider type of sedimentary environment than those previously described. The occurrence in some cases of a parallel distribution of C 14 ---C 20 n -alk-1-enes is also illustrated. A variety of biological sources, including both marine and freshwater bacteria as well as fungi and yeast species is suggested to account for such distributions.
