The authors are conducting the research to test and refine a paleomagnetic method for dating hydrocarbon migration, and to assess the chemical alteration of crude oils resulting from fluid-rock interactions. Samples were collected for paleomagnetic and organic geochemical investigations from several units. These include the Old Red Sandstone in Scotland, and the Schoolhouse Member of the Maroon Formation and the Belden Formation in Colorado. Studies of these units are completed or underway. In addition, simulation experiments, where the authors are attempting to form magnetite in the laboratory, are underway
