Alkanes and alkanoic acids in the Beacon Supergroup samples, sedimentary rocks, silicified wood and coal, from the Allan Hills and the Carapace Nunatak of southern Victoria Land in Antarctica were studied to elucidate the organic sources and sedimentary paleoenvironment. Normal alkanes ranging in ca...
