Kerogen in the Chattanooga Shale: Study of its origin and composition suggests why these shales are not source beds for petroleum

The Chattanooga shale contains insoluble organic matter (kerogen) derived from terrestrial (humic) and from marine (sapropelic) sources. Kerogen from sapropelic sources contains more hydrogen than kerogen from humic sources. Thus the hydrogen content of the sapropelic contribution, and of the keroge...
