摘要
The formation of hydrocarbon source rocks in continental basins may be related to marine transgression. This issue is of scientific and practical significance in the theoretical study of hydrocarbon generation in continental basins, but has uncertainties. In order to improve the understanding on the issue more comprehensively and deeply, we conducted a research review, and further suggested the future directions for study. The determination of transgression is the foundation for such a study. Thus, the authors investigated the evidences supporting the transgression, which can be divided into three folds including biological, mineralogical and petrological, and geochemical. The results will help to comprehensively and precisely understand the forming mechanism of hydrocarbon source rocksand provide information for hydrocarbon exploration.
