Fig. 3. Distribution of terpanes (m/z 191) and steranes (m/z 217) in the typical crude oil samples from the Tazhong uplift (C21T, C23T and C29T and C30T refer to C21, C23, C29 and C30 tricyclic terpanes; C21-22 refers to short side chain steranes, C29H-C35H represent hopanes; Ts and Tm refer to 18α(H) and 17α(H)-22,29,30-trisnorhopanes; C27R, C28R and C29R refer to C27-29 5α(H), 14α(H), 17α(H)-20R steranes; G refers to gammacerane).
