Quartz Origins and Paleoenvironmental Controls on Organic Matter Accumulation of Marine Shale in the Ordovician Wulalike Formation, Northwestern Ordos Basin, China: Significance for Shale Gas Exploration

The Ordovician Wulalike marine siliceous shale is a notable hydrocarbon source rock in the Northwestern Ordos Basin. However, the causes of quartz and organic matter enrichment are still a mystery to experts. In this study, the organic geochemistry (maceral compositions, R<sub>bitu</sub>...
