Methane seepage in a Cretaceous greenhouse world recorded by an unusual carbonate deposit from the Tarfaya Basin, Morocco [PDF]
During the Cretaceous major episodes of oceanic anoxic conditions triggered large scale deposition of marine black shales rich in organic carbon. Several oceanic anoxic events (OAEs) have been documented including the Cenomanian to Turonian OAE 2, which ...

Chemical weathering of lower paleozoic black shales of south Sweden
Lower Paleozoic black shales are widespread in Sweden and form part of the Baltic paleobasin, which deposits are also known in Estonia and the Leningrad Oblast of Russia. These rocks are enriched in a carbon substance and characterized by the significant

Cretaceous (Aptian/Albian-?Cenomanian) age of "black flysch" and adjacent deposits of the Grajcarek thrust-sheets in the Małe Pieniny Mts. (Pieniny Klippen Belt, Polish Outer Carpathians) [PDF]
Several sections record the relation between the "black flysch" and Upper Cretaceous red shales in the Grajcarek thrust-sheets. In all the sections studied the "black flysch" appears in the core of imbricated folds or thrust-sheets, whereas the limbs are

Binding of heavy metals by oxidised kerogen in (palaeo)weathered black shales [PDF]
Sub-aerial weathering of black shales drives the gradual leaching of sulphur- and organic-bound heavy metal elements, which are usually abundant in these rocks due to depositional conditions. The formation of oxygen functional groups in kerogen, however,

Geophysical characterization of black shales
Black shales are dark, thinly bedded sedimentary rocks deposited under anaerobic conditions. They are rich in carbon, sulfides and organic matter, and potentially can serve as hydrocarbon source rocks. Black shales may also contain significant enrichments of gas or oil (gas shales, oil shales).

Weathering of phosphorus in black shales [PDF]
Rock weathering is the ultimate source of phosphorus (P) to the oceans, where P can be a limiting nutrient for biological production. In this paper, P weathering is examined in soil chronosequences formed in weathering profiles on the organic‐rich Woodford Shale, New Albany Shale and Green River Shale.

Chromium stable isotope variations in marine black shales are increasingly used to constrain redox changes though time. However, how well black shale δ53Cr values represent ambient seawater δ53Cr values is difficult to assess as black shales contain both

Abstract Orogenic wedges are common at convergent plate margins and deform internally to maintain a self‐similar geometry during growth. New structural mapping and thermochronometry data illustrate that the eastern Greater Caucasus mountain range of western Asia undergoes deformation via distinct mechanisms that correspond with contrasting lithologies ...

We analyzed the distribution of wide range of trace elements in low-carbon shales of various Riphean, Vendian and Lower Paleozoic lithostratigraphic units of the South, Central, and southern part of the Northern Urals (Satka, Bolshoy Inzer, Suran, Yusha,

A significant deposition of black shales occurred during the Mesoproterozoic Oxygenation Event (MOE). In order to investigate the hydrocarbon generation potential and organic matter enrichment mechanism of these shale deposits, we studied the Xiamaling ...
