摘要：

Analyses of several ancient sediments and oils for fatty acids reveal that the even/odd predominance of n-acids can be preserved throughout geological time. n-Alkanes from the same samples do not arise from the n-fatty acids solely by decarboxylation. An abiological or recent bacterial origin of the acids is considered. © 1969.
