Extended C{sub 14}-C{sub 23} 8{beta}(H)-drimane and C{sub 27}-C{sub 32} 8,14-secohopane series have been detected and identified in a Jurassic boghead coal from Lulong, Hebei, North China, by GC-MS and GC-MS/MS analysis and based on comparison with reference data and interpretation of mass spectra. The boghead coal is composed of alginite macerals and contains biomarkers of algal and microbial origins such as tricyclic terpanes, hopanes, pregnane, and steranes.
