Normal long-chain alcohols were isolated from Recent marine sediments from several environments. The isoprenoid alcohol dihydrophytol, which is thought to originate from phytol, the side chain of chlorophyll, by hydrogenation in the reducing environment of the sediment, was also present in most of the samples. Both the normal and isoprenoid alcohols were found in the Green River shale (Eocene). Geochemical implications are considered.
从多个环境的近代海洋沉积物中分离出了正常的长链醇。类异戊二烯醇二氢植醇被认为是在沉积物的还原环境中通过叶绿素侧链植醇氢化形成的，在大多数样品中也有发现。正常醇和类异戊二烯醇在绿河页岩（始新世）中均有发现。文中考虑了其地球化学意义。
