摘要
The effect of rapid thermal stress on the organic geochemistry of a siltstone intruded by a quartz-dolerite dyke and an oil shale intruded by an alkali-dolerite sill has been studied using optical petrography, Rock-Eval pyrolysis, gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Maturity-dependent ratios derived from both the aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon fractions corroborate the observation of Raymond and Murchison (1988b) that the alkali-dolerite sills, which were intruded soon after sedimentation, had a lesser effect than the later quartz-dolerite intrusions. The maturity parameters based on the alkylnaphthalene and alkylphenanthrene isomer ratios are more suitable for studying maturity variations in heat-affected samples than those based on the commonly-used aliphatic biological markers. These aromatic compounds survive to higher ranks and the isomer ratios continue changing.
