Description

Kerogen and the polar (or 'humic') fraction of benzene/methanol extractable organic matter in various pre-Phanerozoic and Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks were analyzed for stable C isotope content. Variations in the delta13C values as functions of the geological age and chemical properties of the organic substances were investigated
