Tetracyclic polyprenoid compounds (TPP) are present in relatively high concentrations in oils and associated source rocks deposited under freshwater or brackish-water conditions, but typically are present in relatively low concentrations in samples from marine or coal-forming depositional environments. A TPP ratio, constructed from the gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry peak areas of a C30 tetracyclic polyprenoid divided by the sum of the peak areas of the C26 27-norcholestanes, revealed great specificity in identifying freshwater or brackish-water algal input, particularly in crude oils.
