n-Alkane bound biomarker fingerprints from asphaltenes in the bitumens of Eastern Dahomey Basin, Nigeria: Source and genetic implications

The asphaltene fractions of the bitumens of Eastern Dahomey Basin in Nigeria, were analyzed by flash pyrolysis-gas chromatography (Py-GC) method in order to unravel its geochemical history and properties. The distributions of the initial biomarkers of the original oils from the pyrolysates are relat...
