Lacustrine mudrocks are important hydrocarbon source rocks due to their high contents of organic matter (OM). An accurate determination of the origins of OM in the rocks can contribute greatly to the identification of the sedimentary environment and the ...

The study examines Cretaceous to Palaeogene sedimentary sequences in the Anambra Basin, part of West African rift basins, utilising geochemical and palynological interpretations to understand organic matter accumulation. Palynofacies and geochemical data indicate a predominantly warm and humid tropical climate during a time of widespread marine ...

ABSTRACT Present day submarine canyons are active conduits for the transfer of large volumes of sediment, carbon and pollutants from continents to oceans. However, the evolution of submarine canyons over geological timescales remains poorly understood due to their erosional nature and low preservation potential. The Late Cretaceous Punta Baja Formation

Maastrichtian island in the central European Basin—new data inferred from palynofacies analysis and inoceramid stratigraphy [PDF]
The palynological study and palynofacies analysis supported by size analysis of opaque phytoclasts and diversity indexes for particulate organic matter in stratigraphically well-constrained (inoceramid biostratigraphy) sections is applied in monotonous Upper Cretaceous carbonate-siliciclastic sediments of southern Poland.

Occurrence of photosynthetic microbial mats in a Lower Cretaceous black shale (central Italy): a shallow-water deposit [PDF]
Cretaceous oceanic anoxic events (OAEs) were periods of high organic carbon burial corresponding to intervals with excellent organic matter (OM) preservation.

Silicification and organic matter preservation in the Anisian Muschelkalk: Implications for the basin dynamics of the central European Muschelkalk Sea [PDF]
Anisian Muschelkalk carbonates of the southern Germanic Basin containing silicified ooidal grainstone are interpreted as evidence of changing pH conditions triggered by increased bioproductivity (marine phytoplankton) and terrestrial input of plant ...

Hydrocarbon‐derived thrombolites from the Outer Carpathians (Lower Cretaceous, Poland)
Abstract Shallow marine thrombolites from a newly discovered Lower Cretaceous cold seep in the Outer Carpathians (Poland) were analysed in order to untangle the complex sedimentological and biogeochemical processes involved in their formation and their diagenetic modifications.

The dark mudstone lithofacies of Mamu Formation was deposited during the Campano-Maastrichtian flooding episode. It is laterally heterogeneous, and has been subdivided into marsh, bay and central basin subenvironments in order of proximality.

Palynofacies Analysis and Hydrocarbon Generation Potential of the Tithonian-Beriassian Chia Gara Formation from Selected Wells in Ajil, Hamrin, and Tikrit Oilfields, Northern Iraq [PDF]
The recovered sedimentary organic matter from the Tithonian-Berriasian Chia Gara Formation was studied from three selected wells of Ajil-12 (Aj-12), Hamrin-1 (Hr-1), and Tikrit-3 (Tk-3) in Northern Iraq.
