Stable hydrogen isotopes of isoprenoids and n-alkanes as a proxy for estimating the thermal history of sediments through geological time

The effect of thermal maturation on the δD values of individual petroleum hydrocarbons (n-alkanes and regular isoprenoids) from sedimentary organic matter over geological timescales has been explored in six different sedimentary sequences covering a wide range of maturities; i.e., 0.53% – 1.6% vitri...
