摘要
Organic matter from the Lower Paleozoic strata on the northern margin of the Tarim Basin of China contains abundant alkylcyclohexanes.The n-alkylcyclohexanes show the even(C16-C20) and odd (C17-C21) carbon number predominance and smooth distribution,and the methyl-n-alkylcycolhexanes the odd carbon number predominance(C17-C21) and smooth distribution,which may be related to their depositional environments and organic precursors.There are some differences in carbon number distribution between the two series of monocyclic alkanes and the n-alkanes marked by smooth distribution.The genetic relationship between the three series of compounds needs to be further studied.
