Over the past years a kind of red organic pigment was found in various
strata in Chi([1-3]). Recently, the authors have discovered the simil
ar red pigment in a large-scale silver deposit hosted in the Sinian bl
ack shale, and confirmed that the pigment is an O- and N-rich heterocy
clic compound. This pigment is so sensitive to temperature change that
it may disappear completely in a narrow temperature range and a short
time. Therefore, it can be used as an indicator for paleotemperature.
