TL;DR: Evenkite was first discovered in geodes lined with chalcedony and quartz associated in a polymetallic vein cutting vesicular tuff in the Evenki district, Lower Tunguska River, Siberia by Skropyshev (1954) as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Crystals of evenkite, paraffin-type hydrocarbon, from the septarian concretions in the Oxfordian (Upper Jurassic) marls of the Dauphinois subalpine tectonic domain, France (Martin, 1985) have been analysed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and compound specific isotope analyses based on gas chromatography combustion isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC/C/IRMS). Evenkite was first discovered in geodes lined with chalcedony and quartz associated in a polymetallic vein cutting vesicular tuff in the Evenki district, Lower Tunguska River, Siberia by Skropyshev (1954). This waxy hydrocarbon was described as colourless or yellowish, pseudohexagonal tabular crystal with mica like cleavage and hardness of 1. The crystallographic data of the evenkite from the type locality matches those of other straight-chain normal paraffins (n-alkanes), which showed it to be a monoclinic modification of normal tetracosane (nC24H50, Strunz and Contag, 1965). The molecular and isotopic data of evenkite from two localities in the French Alps, Serres (Hautes-Alpes) and
