“…It was demonstrated that perylene can be formed from combustion of fossil fuels (Suzuki et al, 2010). The excellent correlations (r 2 ¼ 0.83e0.92, p ¼ 0.01e0.03; Table S4) between the concentrations of sedimentary peylene and anthropogenic PAHs in the ECS inner shelf suggested possible anthropogenic sources.…”

“…Unlike other unsubstituted PAHs which are predominantly pyrogenic, perylene (VIII) forms via diagenetic processes under anoxic conditions (e.g. Aizenshtat, 1973;Orr and Grady, 1967;Fernández et al, 1996;Wakeham et al, 1980;Grice et al, 2009;Jiang et al, 2000;Suzuki et al, 2010). Perylene most likely originates from quinone pigments which are present in wood degrading fungi and some other organisms including crinoids and some insects (Grice et al, 2009;Suzuki et al, 2010).…”

Molecular proxies as indicators of freshwater incursion-driven salinity stratification

et al. 2015

Salinity-related stratification in marine environments is one of the main drivers for the development of persistent anoxia and euxinia. It therefore plays a vital role in the sedimentary preservation of organic matter and has also been associated with Oceanic Anoxic Events during several mass extinctions in Earth's history.Here we present a novel molecular proxy using relative abundances of methyltrimethyltridecylchromans (MTTCs) as indicators of riverine freshwater incursions into Middle to Late Devonian paleoreefs exposed to conditions of prevailing anoxia, photic zone euxinia and water column stratification. This paper aims at re-instigating a discussion about the origin of these compounds to potentially broaden their utilization as paleoproxies, adding freshwater stratification to the general salinity reconstructions. The co-variation of MTTC abundance profiles and δ 13 C values with other biomarker parameters in the sediments studied here indicate a link of MTTCs to terrigenous input, pointing towards a previously suggested early diagenetic formation of these compounds from phytol with higher plant-derived alkylphenols.

“…The high relative abundance of Pery (~75%) is present in upper most part of the samples, ascribed to be deposited in reducing environment. Pery has been derived from perylenequinone structures of fungus comb as well as in modern plants, and it is generally developed in anoxic condition (Aizenshtat, 1973, Grice et al, 2009, Suzuki et al, 2010. The fungus combs are widely distributed on woody materials in the tropical environments, e.g., South Asia, North America and Brazil (Bakhtiari et al, 2009).…”

“…Pery is derived from biological precursors during post-depositional diagenesis in terrigenous sources (Aizenshtat, 1973, Laflamme and Hites, 1978, Hites et al, 1980, Tan and Heit, 1981, Tan et al, 1996, Jiang et al, 1998, Grice et al, 2009. It has been derived from both aquatic and continental organic matters under the influence of prolong reducing environments (Aizenshtat, 1973, Wakeham et al, 1979, Silliman et al, 2000, Suzuki et al, 2010. Pery may also originate from diatomaceous sediments (Wakeham et al, 1979, Venkatesan, 1988.…”

The distributions and sources of perylene (Pery) and penta-aromatic hydrocarbons were investigated in 10 Miocene mudstones from the NE Bengal Basin, Bangladesh using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Pery concentrations were high in most of the samples, and highest levels were found in samples of strong terrigenous influence of organic matter deposited under reducing environmental conditions. Mudstones in the Bokabil Formation (upper Surma Group) contain relatively high abundances of benzofluoranthenes (Bflas), benzo[e]pyrene (BePy) and benzo[a]pyrene (BaPy) attributed to their combustion origin. Pery to pentacyclic aromatic isomers (PAIs) ratios implies an influence of diagenetic sources, whereas low BaPy/BePy ratios indicate that these compounds were originated from combustion sources. Wood degrading fungi in arid to humid and seasonal climatic conditions was also the possible source of Pery in the studied succession.
