| biomarker classification |
Biomarker is a general term, as any sort of compound used for deconvolving the many signals that help us reconstruct a paleoenvironment, and trace modern metabolic pathways. In the lipids section below, we classify biomarkers by structure. In the diagenesis and biogenic vs. abiogenic sections, we describe ways in which biomarkers may be used to understand these inputs into source rock creation.
