Pristane

Pristane is a saturated isoprenoid hydrocarbon belonging to the terpenoid class of compounds, distinguished by its branched-chain alkane structure with 19 carbon atoms and a characteristic 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane configuration, commonly used as a biomarker in organic geochemistry to infer the origins and thermal maturity of sedimentary organic matter.
