Abstract: Triaromatic dinosteroid hydrocarbons and dinosteranes are two important molecular fossils derived from dinosterols, compounds known in modern organisms to be the nearly exclusive widely occurring natural products of dinoflagellates. Now they have been identified from a Paleogene lacustrine basin, Jiyang superdepression located at East China, by GCMS and GCMSMS. The results show that different genera of dinoflagellates including the Deflandrea living in salinebrackish lacustrine (Es4u), the SentusidiniumRhombodella in brackish lacustrine (Es1) and the BohaidinaParabohaidina in fresh lacustrine (Es3) all could offer these two molecular fossils. However, it is observed that there are not linear pertinences between the triaromatic dinosteroid hydrocarbons and dinosteranes. The abundance of triaromatic dinosteroid hydrocarbons is consisted with the distribution of dinocysts in the Shahejie Formation. In saline and nearshore deposition, the TAI (triaromatic dinosteroid i
