The high and over matured marine source rocks, with vitrinite reflectance value (R_o) over (1.3%) and 2%, respectively, widely developed in South China, in which abundant paleo-oil traps and oil showing have been found. Some common biomarkers as isoprenes, sterane and terpane have been used for correlating of oil and source. With the increase of maturity, it might be a big problem since the biomarkers extracted from oils, bitumen and source rocks would become a similar developing pattern, lose their original significations and are hardly to be used for the correlations. The carbon isotopic composition shows a clear fractionation of thermal evolution and it is difficult for precious correlating. The researches on the samples from Shiwandashan Basin suggest that triaromatic steroid could be practically used for identifying different strata and lithological rocks, including mudstone and limestone source rocks, under high and over matured conditions, so triaromatic steroid is very likely to be an effective tool for correlating in these cases. Correlations show that the effective source rocks in South China are mainly mudstone but not carbonate. This correlation method and biomarkers could be widely used for oil-source correlation of high and over matured source rocks developed in either north or south China.
