Cy. Zhao et al., TYPES OF ORGANIC FACIES AND SOURCE-ROCK ASSESSMENT OF THE COAL-MEASURE MUDSTONE IN THE TURPAN-HAMI BASIN, Acta geologica sinica, 72(2), 1998, pp. 169-179
This paper discusses the enviromental characteristics of carbonaceous
mudstone and mudstone (coal-measure mudstone in short) of the Early an
d Middle Jurassic in the Turpan-Hami basin, which were formed in swamp
s. Through the organic facies study of the coal-measure mudstone in th
is area, the authors clarify that the flowing-water swamp is the most
advanced organic facies belt. Furthermore, according to the practical
materials of coal-measure mudstone in the area and with the evaluation
criteria of lacustrine mudstone in the past, the authors have establi
shed the integrated symbol systems from the abundance of organic matte
r and the type of organic matter, which can be used in the source rock
evaluation of the coal-measure mudstone.
