Perylene and its geochemical significance.Perylene was found in a variety of marine sediments, in a shale and in peat. It is suggested that its precursors arise predominantly from land organisms and are carried into oceanic traps along with detrital minerals. When rates of deposition are fast, and reducing conditions are established within the sediment, biogenic pigment precursors of perylene are converted to the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, which is then stabilized by pi-bonding with metals and protected from degradation.
