biomarkers as indicators of environmental and biological sources
|
Here, we provide exhaustive lists of years and years of biomarker research, and which ones may be used as signals of various biological and/or environmental sources. Throughout our webpage, we have attempted to remain informative and scientific without using too much geochemistry jargon. In these lists, however, we must, to some extent. So here goes...
|
common steranes, hopanes and other polycyclic terpanes
in the molecular fossil record
and their paleobiological interpretation
|
biomarkers as environmental indicators |
aliphatic and monocyclic saturated hydrocarbons
in the molecular fossil record
and their paleobiological interpretation |
aromatic carotenoids and maleimides
as indicators for photic zone euxinia
