Publisher: | Elsevier | Abstract: | The sediments under examination constitute part of the Hayrettin Formation expanding to the northwest of Acigöl (Denizli/Turkey) containing coal. The aims of this study are to assess the organic matter content (Corg, %), type, maturity and established paleoenvironment of deposition based primarily on Rock-Eval pyrolysis data, biomarker distributions and ?13C, ?15N values. The total organic carbon (Corg, %) contents of carbonaceous rocks range from 0.21% to 39.61%, and hydrogen index (HI) values are between 25 and 174mgHC/g rock. The samples studied contain type III organic matter (OM). Tmax values for the Hayrettin carbonaceous rocks range from 400 to 437°C. Vitrinite reflectance values (Ro) are between 0.26% and 0.36%, and these values reveal that the carbonaceous rocks are at peat-lignite coal stage. On the basis of biomarker maturity parameters, these rocks are immature. The high pristane/phytane (Pr/Ph) ratios (0.79-7.85), low C35 homohopane index (0.02-0.07) indicates that carbonaceous rocks were deposited in a suboxic environment. ?13C (range from -26.06‰ to -23.88‰ ) and ?15N (range from 2.63‰ to 3.33‰ ) values, high concentrations of C29 steranes (C29>C28>C27) and C26/C25 tricyclic terpane ratios (1.00 and 1.18) indicate that these carbonaceous rocks formed in a peat-swamp environment. © 2014 Elsevier B.V. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/11499/7573 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.petrol.2014.02.020 |
