Separation of 18α(H)-, 18β(H)-oleanane and lupane by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography

18α(H)-, 18β(H)-oleanane and lupane are angiosperm-derived biomarkers that are used as age indicators for the Late Cretaceous onwards when the first proliferation of angiosperms occurred. In addition, the 18α(H)-/18β(H)-oleanane ratio is employed as a thermal maturity parameter of crude oil. However...
