Abstract
Straight chain, iso- and anteiso-acids from different sedimentary environments of the North Atlantic have been isolated and resolved by gas chromatography. The acids cover the range from C7 to C21. Normal and iso-acids occur at every number; anteiso-acids occur only at odd carbon numbers within the same range. It is suggested that the iso- and anteiso-acids may provide markers for the bacterial contribution, and the isoprenoid acids markers for the contribution of animal lipids to the organic matter of Recent sediments.
