Linking Hydrothermal Activity With Organic Matter Accumulation in the Chang 7 Black Shale of Yanchang Formation, Ordos Basin, China

The Chang 7 black shale in the Upper Triassic Yanchang Formation is the principal source rock of Mesozoic oil-bearing system in the southwest Ordos Basin, containing high abundances of organic matter and hydrocarbon potential. Our study discusses the role of lake-bottom hydrothermal activities in th...
