Infra-red spectrometry of the resins. The distribution of saturated hydrocarbons determined by gas phase chromatography (Fig. 7) demonstrates the evolution which led to the degradation of the n-alkanes ( % to %) to n-C30 (Table 1). It should be noted that by March 31, 1978, this degradation appears to have begun. Thus there was an increase in the ratios of pristane/n-Cl7 and phytane/n-Cl8 (Table 1). The isoprenoids degraded less easily than the n-alkanes (TISSOT and al.), but by June 1980 these compounds could no longer be detected. As degradation advanced, the contribution of the biogenic hydrocarbons increased, and n-alkanes of odd carbon numbers between n-C25 and n-C35 -- characteristic of the cuticle waxes of higher plants (Eglington and Hamilton - 1963) — appeared, confirming the ter- restrial contribution to the contents of organic matter in the sediments. Moreover, the disappearance of the n-paraffins points up a relative enrichment in the unresolved complex mixture of the isoalkane and cyclo- alkane compounds, and generally in the compounds around n-C30. It was possible to demonstrate these last compounds by GPC/MS by measuring the masses : m/e 217 being characteristic of the tetracyclic 117.
