Scientific paper

The following aromatic hydrocarbons were isolated from a fossil crinoid of Jurassic age: anthracene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene, pyrene and alkyl derivatives, 1,2-benzpyrene, 3,4-benzpyrene, perylene, anthanthrene, 1,12-benzperylene, hexahydro- meso -naphthodianthrene, hexahydro- meso -anthrodianthrene and alkyl derivatives, and substituted meso -anthrodian-threnes. Several compounds, presumably aromatic hydrocarbons, of undetermined structure were also found. The eight- and nine-ring hydrocarbons are structurally and genetically linked to the fringelite pigments of the same fossil. A proposed sequence of consecutive irreversible and reversible redox reactions can explain the presence or absence of certain compounds in this complex assemblage of geochemical products.
