The isoprenoid hydrocarbons, phytane (C(20)H(42)) and pristane (C(19)H(40)), are present in the oil seeping from the Precambrian Nonesuch formation at the White Pine Mine, Michigan. Gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry provide the isolation and identification procedures.
Investigations have been made of crude oil, pristane, phytane, steranetype and optically active alkanes, porphyrins, microfossils, and the stable isotopes of carbon and of sulfur found in the Nonesuch shale of Precambrian age from Northern Michigan. These sediments are approximately 1 billion years
A billion-year-old shale from the Nonesuch formation at White Pine Mine, Michigan, contains microfossils, porphyrins, and optically active alkanes. Pristane and phytane, which are isoprenoid hydrocarbons found in living plants and animals, are constituents of the ancient alkanes in the Nonesuch
