Abstract: Conventional models of petroleum source rock development have focused on the balance of productivity and preservation, and how various factors, such as upwelling and restriction, impact those processes. Yet, the critical question of why source rocks occur at particular moments in geological time has not been satisfactorily addressed. New alternative mechanisms of source rock formation are being postulated, which could have implications. These hypotheses involve the short-lived (
