Wasn’t me Peter. The dude wants to talk on the phone, while you’re at it just ask him?

<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 class="">

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><u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p>
