Early studies mainly focused on geological application Early studies mainly focused on geological application of sesquiterpane compounds. of sesquiterpane compounds.

The abundance of major compounds in the The abundance of major compounds in the m/z m/z 123 123 chromatograms has been employed to differentiate the chromatograms has been employed to differentiate the organic matter input from various sedimentary organic matter input from various sedimentary environments. environments.

The water samples were separated into two parts: The water samples were separated into two parts: oil phase and water phaseoil phase and water phase respectively;respectively;Oil layerOil layer:: Approximately 0.5 Approximately 0.5 mLmL of oil was of oil was

removed from the top oil layer of two water removed from the top oil layer of two water samples. About 16.0 mg of oil was used for samples. About 16.0 mg of oil was used for fingerprinting analysis.fingerprinting analysis.Water layerWater layer: The water samples were weighed : The water samples were weighed and then transferred to and then transferred to separatoryseparatory funnels and funnels and extracted (liquid/liquid extraction) with extracted (liquid/liquid extraction) with dichloromethane (DCM) three times (50/50/50 dichloromethane (DCM) three times (50/50/50 mLmL).).
