稳定的碳同位素和分子的标记被使用抑制在沙岩摘录和潜在的源岩之间的基因关系在在 Huanghua 消沉 pre 第三级,诺思中国。从 Permo 含碳的源自陆地的泥石头和奥陶纪海洋的碳酸盐的摘录的比较显示他们的突出的差别在稳定的碳同位素,分子的标记和热成熟。尽管中生代和更低的二叠的 Xiashihezi 形成沙岩的摘录有一些类似的同位素的特征,分子的标记数据提供在上面的侏罗记降低的白垩纪油和上面的含碳的太原形成泥石头之间,并且在更低的二叠的 Xiashihezi 形成油和更低的二叠的泥石头之间的好关联。结果证明上面的侏罗记降低的白垩纪沙岩油从上面的含碳的太原形成源自陆地的泥石头主要被导出并且更低的二叠的 Xiashihezi 形成油从更低的二叠的山西形成和 Xiashihezi 形成源自陆地的泥石头被采购。
Stable carbon isotopes were used together with molecular markers to constrain genetic relationships between sandstone extracts and potential source rocks in the pre-Tertiary in the Huanghua Depression, North China. Comparison of the extracts from Permo-Carboniferous terrigenous mudstones and Ordovician marine carbonates indicated that their prominent differences are in stable carbon isotopes, molecular markers and thermal maturity. Although the extracts of the Mesozoic and Lower Permian Xiashihezi Formation sandstones have some similar iso-topic characteristics, molecular markers data provide a good correlation between the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous oils and the Upper Carboniferous Taiyuan Formation mudstones, and between the Lower Permian Xiashihezi Formation oils and the Lower Permian mudstones. The results showed that the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous sandstone oils were derived chiefly from the Upper Carboniferous Taiyuan Formation terrigenous mudstones and that the Lower Permian Xiashihezi Formation oils were sourced from the Lower Permian Shanxi Formation and Xiashihezi Formation terrigenous mudstones.
