“…Similar isotopic compositions of kerogen, carbonates and oil from Infracambrian-Cambrian strata are also reported in numerous areas including Oman, Pakistan, North West Indian, Morocco, Siberia and USA (Hoering, 1967;Welte et al, 1975;Tucker, 1986;Fowler and Douglas, 1987;Brasier et al, 1990;Summons and Powell, 1992;Peters et al, 1995;Bazhenova and Arefiev, 1998;Li et al, 2009a;Kaufman and Knoll, 1995;Walter et al, 2000). Summons and Powell (1992) suggested that during Cambrian, elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide levels resulted in higher fractionation during photosynthesis.…”
