Organic Geochemical Studies. Ii. The Distribution of Aliphatichydrocarbons in Algae, Bacteria, and in a Recent Lake Sediment: Apreliminary Report

Description: The theory that algal oozes could give rise to oil shales is not a recent one. Evidence for this theory rests on the finding that algae have less cellulose and a correspondingly greater proportion of lipids than most plant material. In addition, the contemporary alga Botyrococcus is present in microscopic remains in some organic oozes.
