C 37 -C 39 ketones containing 2-4 double bonds and similarly-unsaturated C 38 -C 40 ethyl ketones have been detected for the first time in lacustrine sediments. Tetra-unsaturated compounds are relatively more abundant than in marine sediments. The similar molecular composition of methyl ketones and cooccurring ethyl ketones containing one additional carbon atom indicates that the two classes are biosynthetically related. No source of these potential biological markers in lacustrine sediments has been identified. The abundance and unsaturation pattern of alkenones in lacustrine sediments may reflect the relative input and species composition, respectively, of algae presumed to belong to the Phylum Chrysophyta, by analogy with the marine source.
