  Tertiary and Cretaceous Source Rocks, Gulf of Mexico
It is not likely that these rocks are stained from migrated oil based on their low free oil contents and high generation potentials, but this cannot be ascertained in the absence of extracted rock TOC and Rock-Eval data as well as gas chromatographic fingerprints and more detailed evaluation of biomarker results.
This higher level of conversion of the Tertiary rocks might be indicative of a more labile kerogen that decomposes under lower thermal stress than more refractory (difficult to crack) Type II kerogens.
Tertiary potential source rocks have a higher level of apparent conversion based on the higher normalized oil contents (this presumes that the free oil is indigenous).

In most research occupations, sources of information are generally categorized as primary, secondary or tertiary depending on their originality or their proximity to the source or to the event.
Secondary sources of information are not written by the participants or by the witnesses to the event described in the source.
Tertiary sources of information nearly always represent some type of a summary accounting or retelling of an event, a topic, a person, or place that is quite far removed in time and space to the primary source and is generally based on what some other individuals have experienced.

The Tertiary sourced oils that are enriched in terrestrially derived organic matter are estimated to contribute between 2 and 5 percent of the reserves in Maracaibo basin (Gallango et al., 1985; James, 1990; Talukdar and Maracano, 1994).
In the Falcón basin, the source rocks are presumed to be Tertiary in age based on consideration of the oil composition and the assumption that the Upper Cretaceous source rocks of this region are over mature (James, 1990).
The Tertiary source rocks are believed to have been deposited during a transgression in the late Eocene to early Miocene and a regressive cycle in the middle Miocene (Boesi and Goddard, 1991).

Red is a source that is not reliable, either because the reproduction is poor, the artist or reproducer does not understand what he/she is seeing, or because there is a bad step somewhere up the line between the source and the original.

 BRISTOL MTS
This source is located in the Bristol Mountains, San Bernardino County, California in Quaternary alluvium consisting predominately of rhyolite, tuff, and marekenites (Apache Tears).
The primary context of this late Tertiary (probably Miocene) source appears to be located in rhyolite domes of the Bristol Mountains on the Siberia 7.5' Provisional Quad (1985) in the northeast quarter, particularly in Sections 7 and 18 T7N R11E, and Sections 12 and 13 T7N R10 E (see also Bagdad 15' 1956).
The domes of this Tertiary source are so eroded that the obsidian zone has apparently completely moved into the alluvium, not unusual in the Southwest (Shackley 1988a, 1990).
