Kerogen was isolated from a marine sediment from Tanner Basin, offshore California. Samples of the kerogen were heated under an inert atmosphere at various temperatures and times. The heated and unheated kerogens were subjected to alkaline potassium permanganate oxidation followed by GC/ MS analysis of the products. The kerogens yielded primarily aliphatic C 2 -C 14 , -dicarboxylic acids and benzene mono-to-pentacarboxylic acids. Yields of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids from kerogen decreased with increasing thermal alteration. Yields of benzenecarboxylic acids increased steadily with increasing thermal alteration. The data support the concept that thermal maturation during natural burial of this type of kerogen results in the generation of aliphatic hydrocarbons from an increasingly aromatic residue.
