Obviously, the two main elements of hydrocarbons are hydrogen and carbon. Therefore, once we know the amount of [[total organic carbon (TOC)]] present in a rock, we then need to know the amount of hydrogen present in order to assess overall source rock quality. The amount of oxygen and hydrogen present in the kerogen defines the [[Kerogen types|kerogen]] as type [[Type I kerogen|I]], [[Type II kerogen|II]], or [[Type III kerogen|III]] and if the rock will be oil or gas prone.
