World's Source Rocks
28
World source rock potential through geological time is a function of: Basin Restriction, Nutrient
Level , Sedimentation Rate, and Sea-level Rise.
Contain higher concentrations of allocthonous vs. autothonous organic carbon preserved in:
i) Black (Anoxic) Shale
ii) (Anoxic) Carbonates
Have irregular temporal beat driven by:
i) Climatic response:
 Rain shadow
 East coast/west coast ocean circulation
 Monsoons
ii) World wide transgressions & restricted basins
iii) Sporadic super-plumes
iv) Basin restriction:
Continental plate configuration:
 Initial extension
 Final collision
 Structural barriers and/or buildup barriers.
