The researchers studied a lake sediment in China to find new sources of oil and gas. They focused on a specific rock layer from the Middle Eocene period. By analyzing fossils and rock data, they created a detailed timeline of when the rocks formed. This timeline helps pinpoint the best places to find oil and gas in the area. The new method is more accurate than previous ones and can be used to compare rock layers in different areas.
