Abstract
The same polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are encountered in oils and chloroform-soluble bitumens of Mesozoic--Cenozoic sedimentary rocks. Our analysis of PAH indicates a genetic relationship between oils and organic matter (OM) and we suggest that the major bulk of oils is generated by the sedimentary rocks where they accumulate.
