The Depositional Environment of the Lacustrine Source Rocks in the Eocene Middle Number of the Liushagang Formation of the Weixinan Sag, Beibuwan Basin, China: Implications from Organic Geochemical Analyses

The Eocene middle number of the Liushagang Formation (LS2) of the Weixinan Sag, Beibuwan Basin, characterized by a thick succession of excellent quality source rocks, is composed of lacustrine organic-rich shales, mudstones, and shales (mudstones/shales). However, the complex and specific deposition...
