Abundant biomarkers, including n alkanes, isoprenoid, steranes and terpanes, have been detected by GC—MS from the middle Jurassic oil shales in the Shuanghu area, northern Tibet plateau.N alkanes contain carbon number n C 12 n C 35 with a relatively wide range, n C 15 , n C 16 or n C 17 as the highest peak. Examination of the relative abundance show a dominance of low carbon molecular components in the n alkane. Pr/Ph ratio in oil shales range from 0.77 to 1.59, and it fluctuates in the vertical section. The upper and lower part of the oil shales have slight predominance of pristane, whereas phytane dominates in the middle part of the oil shale sequence. C 30 hopane is the most abundant in the hopane series. According to the relatively abundance, pentacyclic triterpane tricyclic terpane quartcyclic terpane. Sterane ΣC 27 /ΣC 29 ratio ranges from 0.79 to 1.20, and Σ(C 27 +C 28 ) ΣC 29 . The carbon number distribution of the steranes show a slight predominance of C 27 components over C 29 in the lower part of the oil shales and a slight dominance of C 29 component over C 27 in the upper part of the oil shales sequence. C 27 diasterane/ C 27 sterane ratio range from 0.51 to 3.63, which also fluctuate in the vertical section. It indicates organic matter of algael origin, with proper ratio contribution from terrestrial sources. The organic matter in the oil shales is mature. Different Pr/Ph and C 27 diasteranes/C 27 steranes proved especially useful in assessing variation in depositional environment and recognizing preservation potential of the organic matter.
