| Abstract: | Abundant tricyclic diterpanes (i.e., pimarane, dehydroabietane and simonellite) and tetracyclic diterpanes (e.g., phyllocladane) were detected in coal samples from the third member of the Shahejie Formation, Lower-Eogene, Liaohe Basin, China. Gas chromatography–isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC–IRMS) analyses show that the carbon isotopic composition of terrigenous tricyclic and tetracyclic diterpenoid hydrocarbons are about 4–6‰ enriched in 13C compared to n-alkanes in the same samples. In addition, the pimaranes and phyllocladane have comparatively narrow stable carbon isotopic compositions among the different samples, with a slightly wider range in δ13C compositions for the abietanes (i.e., abietane, dehydroabietane and simonellite). The n-alkanes and triterpenoids reflect the δ13C compositions of higher plant wax. |
