Phytane
Phytane has many structural isomers. Geochemical parameters
Pristane/Phytane ratio
Pristane/phytane (Pr/Ph) is the ratio of abundances of pristane and phytane.

Crocetane
Unlike its isomer phytane, crocetane has a tail-to-tail linked isoprenoid skeleton. Analysis
Due to structural similarities, crocetane often co-elutes with phytane and is hard to identify.

Bisnorhopane
GC-MS and other analyses of source rocks, shales containing bisnorhopane, also provide data on pristane and phytane abundances. 28,30-Bisnorhopane occurs in shales with very low pristane to phytane ratios, which is indicative of generation under anoxic conditions.
