Novel 1H-Pyrrole-2,5-dione (maleimide) proxies for the assessment of photic zone euxinia

1H-Pyrrole-2,5-diones (maleimides) and 1-alkyl-2,3,6-trimethylbenzenes (aryl isoprenoids), degradation products of tetrapyrrole pigments and carotenoids respectively, were analysed and compared with pristane/phytane (Pr/Ph) ratios to reconstruct past redox conditions in three geologic sections. One...
