The diagenetic history of the Ediacaran sedimentary rocks in the East European Craton (EEC) over the area extending from Arkhangelsk (Russia) in the north to Podolia (Ukraine) in the south was revealed by means of the XRD characterization and K–Ar dating of clay fractions, mudstone porosity measurements and organic geochemistry investigations. Mudstone porosity measurements produced direct evidence of shallow maximum burial of the Ediacaran sediments on the craton (Russia, Lithuania, Belarus, Volyn), not exceeding 1.5 km, and much deeper burial at the cratonic margin, in Podolia and Poland. In general, illitization of smectite and biomarker indices indicates more advanced diagenesis at the cratonic margin. K–Ar dating of authigenic illite–smectite and aluminoceladonite revealed the Palaeozoic age of mineral diagenesis (ca. 450–300 Ma) both on the craton and its margin, with older ages generally observed in the north. When the maximum palaeotemperatures were evaluated from illite–smectite and biomarkers, based on the calibrations from the conventional burial diagenetic sections, a major mismatch was detected for the cratonic area: 100°C–130°C from illite––smectite and tens of oC lower from the lipid biomarkers. This diagenetic pattern was interpreted as the result of short‐lasting (in ky scale) pulses of potassium‐bearing hot fluids migrating from the Caledonian and Variscan orogens deep in the craton interior, effectively promoting illitization in porous rocks without altering the organic matter. Analogous short pulses of fluids were responsible for numerous diagenetic phenomena, including Mississippi Valley‐Type ore deposits, in the American Midwest, in front of the Appalachians. K–Ar dating indicates that the entire Proterozoic sedimentary cover of the Great Unconformity on the EEC remained untouched by measureable post‐sedimentary changes until the early Palaeozoic, thus for over 1000 My, which is an unprecedented finding.

“…Also, quinic and shikimic acids were identified in Pinus radiata (Cranswick and Zabkiewicz, 1979) and Ginkgo biloba (Singh et al, 2008) extracts, reflecting their common occurrence in the higher plant kingdom. These compounds supplement the list of saccharides identified in lignites and other sedimentary rocks (Rybicki et al, 2017;Marynowski et al, 2018;see Medeiros and Simoneit, 2007).…”

“…Nevertheless, in favorable conditions (low maturation, reducing redox potential, no secondary processes) biomolecules can be preserved hundreds of millions of years, and were occasionally reported from sediments across the Mesozoic and Cenozoic (e.g. Otto and Simoneit, 2001;Otto et al, 2002;Marynowski et al, 2007aMarynowski et al, , 2007bTalbot et al, 2016;Rybicki et al, 2017). molecular studies that sulfurized carbohydrates can constitute an important part of kerogen.…”

“…The source of saccharides in the geological record is not clear. It is likely, that glucose found in Mesozoic wood and sedimentary rocks could be a remnant of cellulose degradation (Rybicki et al, 2017;Marynowski et al, 2018). Other mono-and disaccharides from Miocene lignites can be degradation products of biopolymers such as hemicellulose and cellulose, but would potentially also occur as free sugars preserved in xylites and detritic coals (Marynowski et al, 2018).…”

A B S T R A C TTrehalose, mannitol and arabitol are the main saccharides of extant fungal metabolism, but their occurrence and distribution in geological materials have rarely been considered. Here, we identify these sugars in Miocene lignites and for the first time in Late Cretaceous mudstones and coals. The co-occurrence of trehalose, mannitol and arabitol in the sedimentary rocks investigated suggests their fungal origin, because these three saccharides are major compounds present in most modern fungi, including the very common mycorrhizal and wood-rotting groups. Therefore, we conclude that these sugars should be treated as new fungal biomarkers (biomolecules) present in geological rocks. Trehalose and mannitol are major compounds in total extracts of the samples and a sum of their concentration reaches 4.6 μg/g of sample. The arabitol concentrations do not exceed 0.5 μg/g, but in contrast to trehalose, the concentration correlates well with mannitol (R 2 = 0.94), suggesting that they have the same, translocatory role in fungi. Based on the trehalose vs. mannitol and arabitol distributions in Cretaceous samples and their comparison with data for modern fungi, we preliminarily conclude that the coal seams from the Rakowice Małe (SW Poland) section were formed during warmer climatic periods than the overlying sediments. Furthermore, no DNA could be isolated from the samples of lignites and overlying sediments, whereas it was abundant in the control samples of maple, birch and oak wood degraded by fungi. This indicates an absence of recent fungi responsible for decay in lignites and implies that the saccharide origin is connected with ancient fungi.Other sugar alcohols and acids like D-pinitol, quinic acid and shikimic acid, were found for the first time in sedimentary rocks, and their source is inferred to be from higher plants, most likely conifers. The preservation of mono-and disaccharides of fungal origins in pre-Palaeogene strata implies that compounds previously thought as unstable can survive for tens to hundreds of millions of years without structural changes in immature rocks unaffected by secondary processes.Saccharides, ubiquitous biomolecules in both plant and animal kingdoms, are common in marine and terrestrial environments (Klok et al.

“…Among phenols, tyrosol (a polyphenol and phenylethanoid) was identified only in DR2_2; its origin is associated with lignin degradation (Stefanova et al, 2004;Grasset et al, 2010). 2-Ethoxyphenol, which appears in most samples, was identified as one of the major compounds in immature OM from internal sediments in southern Poland (Rybicki et al, 2017) and may be another lignin-degradation product.…”
