HYDROCARBONS OF BIOLOGICAL ORIGIN FROM A ONE-BILLION YEAR OLDSEDIMENT
The isoprenoid hydrocarbons, phytane (C{sub 20}H{sub 42}) and pristane (C{sub 19}H{sub 40}) are present in the oil seeping from the Pre-Cambrian Nonesuch Formation at the White Pine Mine, Michigan. Gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry provide the isolation and identification procedures.
