The hydrocarbon content of coorongite, a Recent rubbery deposit derived from the alga Botryococcus braunii , has been investigated by infrared spectrometry, gas chromatography and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The normal alkanes do not show the marked odd/even predominance of most contemporary plants and Recent sediments. The branched-cyclic alkane fraction contains the acyclic isoprenoid hydrocarbons 2,6,10,14-tetramethyltetradecane, 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane and 2,6,10,14-tetramethylhexadecane which are not abundant in most Recent sediments. In addition, a series of terminal alkenes has been isolated. The significance of the occurrence of the alkanes and alkenes is discussed.
