    Abstract: Age differentiation of hydrocarbon samples may be achieved using a chemical fossil assemblage approach. For example, a method may comprise: determining a source facies for a hydrocarbon sample; inputting the source facies into a chemical fossil assemblage model; determining, using the chemical fossil assemblage model, one or more candidate chemical fossil assemblages and corresponding age biomarkers for the hydrocarbon sample based on the source facies; measuring a concentration or a related value of corresponding age biomarkers in the hydrocarbon sample to yield an age biomarker fingerprint; inputting the age biomarker fingerprint into a chemical fossil assemblage model; comparing the age biomarker fingerprint to the one or more candidate chemical fossil assemblages using the chemical fossil assemblage model; and estimating an age of the hydrocarbon sample based on the comparison.
