For more than forty years, the Rock-Eval pyrolysis technique has been widely used to rapidly
assess the petroleum generating characteristics of organic matter in petroleum source rocks …

The Neoproterozoic provides an important record of glacial–postglacial paleoenvironments,
organic carbon cycling, and hydrocarbon accumulation. Here, to better understand the …

Although Ce anomalies are commonly used to reconstruct past seawater redox conditions,
published interpretations are based on various proxy materials and analytical approaches …

Black shales are sedimentary rocks containing> 0.5% of organic carbon. They host
polymetallic deposits which have been mined for Cu, Ni, Zn, Mn, P, Mo, V, U, Au and PGE …

Significant knowledge has been assembled on the marine Longmaxi Shale in the Sichuan
Basin over the past ten years. However, the distribution of shale gas resources on the …

The Datang Formation black rock series deposited in an inter-platform basin are considered
to be one of the main source rocks in Southwest China. However, their depositional …

Recently, farmlands with high geological background of Cd derived from carbonate rock
(CA) and black shale areas (BA) have received wide attention. However, although both CA …

This study presents the first organic and inorganic geochemical characterization of a non-
over mature section of the Permian Longtan Shale as it can be found in the southwestern …

The black shale deposited in the Niutitang Formation and its adjacent strata is considered to
be a favorable source rock in northern Guizhou of south China and has become a target …

Because shale is widely used as a building material, it is critical to accurately determine its
mineral alteration and porosity evolution during deterioration processes. When fluids flow …
