Organic petrology developed as coal petrology at the beginning of the 20th century
dedicated mainly to the study of coals because of their utilization in industry. Coal petrology …

ABSTRACT The Newfoundland-Iberia rift is a type example of a nonvolcanic rift. Rifting
occurred in two phases: Late Triassic into Early Jurassic, and Late Jurassic through Early …

Since the early 1980s, fifteen outbursts have occurred in the Huaibei Coalfield of China.
These outbursts were reported to be associated with sills. To study the effect of sill intrusions …

The petroliferous basins that have formed in China since the Mesozoic are characterized by
non-marine organic matter input, a characteristic that is significantly different from that of …

The stretching of continental lithosphere results in asthenospheric upwelling, raising of
isotherms, melting during decompression and eventually seafloor spreading. The thermal …

Free and sulfur-bound biomarkers in sediments deposited in the northern proto North
Atlantic (Newfoundland Basin, ODP Site 1276) during the Cenomanian–Turonian oceanic …

Drilling during ODP Leg 210 penetrated two post-rift sills (dated as∼ 105.3 and∼ 97.8 Ma)
in the deep sediments overlying basement of the continent–ocean transition zone on the …

This study focuses on the thermal maturity assessment of Silurian-Devonian sediments from
the Ghadamis Basin, North Africa, comparing optical and geochemical analyses of …

Intrusive magmatism is an integral and understudied component in both volcanic and
nonvolcanic passive margins. Here, we investigate the thermal effects of widespread (ca. 20 …

Pervasive igneous intrusive complexes have been identified in many sedimentary basins
which are prospective for petroleum exploration and production. Seismic reflection and well …
