Characterization of the sedimentary organic matter preserved in Messel oil shale by bulk geochemistry and stable isotopes
We investigated a 150 m thick drill core section of Messel oil shale using bulk geochemical and stable isotope techniques in order to determine the organic matter sources and the environmental conditions that prevailed during the deposition of the lacustrine sequence. High Corg values (on average 27...
