Petroleum generation and migration in the Cambro-Ordovician Laurentian margin succession of NW Scotland
Fluid inclusion and organic biomarker data show that there was formerly a hydrocarbon system in the Cambro-Ordovician Laurentian margin rocks of NW Scotland. Oil fluid inclusions occur in stylolitized Eriboll Formation sandstone, in K-feldspar cements with an 40 Ar/ 39 Ar age of 415 ± 5.5/5.8 Ma (2σ...
