Abstract
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-alkylcyclohexanes 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.
