Source rock maturity study, Arrowie Basin, South Australia - Parts I and II.
A small suite of Cambrian rock samples was selected to evaluate the use of the methylphenanthrene index (MPI) and other aromatic hydrocarbon ratios as measures of thermal maturity in Early Palaeozoic sequences. Such very old rocks do not contain woody...-
