This unusual hopane-like compound is recognised together with the hopanes in the m/z 191 mass chromatogram and was for many years used as a biomarker of hypersalinity due to its common high abundance in sediments deposited under such conditions.  However, a key paper by Sinninghe-Damsté et al.

Tetracyclic Polyprenoids (TPPs) By Paul Farrimond
Two C30 tetracyclic polyprenoids (TPPs) are often seen as a characteristic doublet of peaks eluting after the C27-C29 diasteranes in the m/z 259 mass chromatogram from GC-MSÂ analysis of oils and source rocks (Holba et al. , 2000).
