Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Hydrocarbons are generated in source rocks across a broad spectrum of geological ages, ranging from the Paleozoic through the Mesozoic and Cenozoic.

The analysis

The retrieved literature provides numerous examples of petroleum and gas source rocks spanning diverse geological periods, including the Silurian, Carboniferous, Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Paleogene. This clearly supports the claim that hydrocarbons are found in source rocks across a wide geological age range.
