<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone know where these guys got
Fryxell and Bonney samples from? This is a little awkward
since I was going to collaborate with a new assistant prof at
LSU who also works on alkenones. We were going to work on
sediments. I neglected to respond to this email because - busy
and forgot. Just got an email from Paul Cutler saying he's
been contacted by Huang and asking about availability of my
sediments collected under NSF support (over 10 years ago)<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt">We have
been actively publishing alkenones in lakes for the past
decade and I would not be ashamed to say, currently, my
group is the best in the world in terms of our
understanding of lacustrine alkenones and their
application for paleoclimate and paleoecological
applications. We also developed major technical
expertise on studying these compounds and have ability
to unambiguously identify alkenone double bond positions
- there were major problems with old methodologies and
hence many papers publish only tentative identification
of double bond positions (such as Caroline Jaraula paper
in organic geochemistry on tentative identification of
penta unsaturated alkenones). I also work with Linda
Amaral at Marine Biological Lab closely (she is expert
on DNA sequencing, and has state of the art facilities).
My lab is a full scale organic geochemistry lab with all
gas and liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry and
isotope ratio mass spectrometry (I have four mass
spectrometers): few organic geochemistry labs in the
U.S. have the scale of analytical capability as in my
lab. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
