sedimentenes
Sedimentenes are a class of organic compounds that are formed from the degradation of organic matter in sedimentary rocks. These molecules are typically hydrocarbons, meaning they are composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms, and can range in size from simple alkanes to complex polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The specific types and abundance of sedimentenes found in a rock depend on a variety of factors, including the original organic material, the burial depth and temperature, and the geological history of the rock.
The study of sedimentenes is important in several fields of science. In geochemistry, sedimentenes serve as
