- •
The organic matter in these sediments was primarily derived from prokaryotes.
- •
Slice-extraction experiments are a good method to assess possible contamination.
- •
The n-alkanes in the studied samples were derived from varying environments.
- •
The Pr/Ph ratios are influenced by biological sources and mineralogy.
- •
The 1.4 Ga Hongshuizhuang Formation has a low thermal maturity.
