Abstract
Several novel series of branched alkanes have recently been detected in several Proterozoic (Officer Basin, Australia; Spitzbergen, Greenland) and Cretaceous (Eromanga Basin, Australia) sediments. Four C2n series and two C3n series were present in the very complex aliphatic fractions obtained from Neoproterozoic aged Munta sediments of the Officer Basin. The C2n series, also detected in the Spitzbergen sediments, are tentatively assigned as 5,5-diethylalkanes (e.g., Figure 1, Structure I), 6,6-diethylalkanes (II), 5-butyl,5-ethylakanes (III) and 6-butyl,6-ethylakanes (IV), with all showing strong odd or even carbon number preferences.
