Mineralogy and geochemistry of shale from Shanxi Formation, Southern North China Basin: Implication for organic matter accumulation by Qian Chen, Pei Li, Xiaoliang Wei, Changsheng Chen, Wei Dang, Haikuan Nie, Jinchuan Zhang

“…The Shanxi Shale is primarily composed of clay minerals (34.24 %–75.20 %) and quartz (23.80%–46.39 %), with a notably low carbonate content (<5 %). (2) Illite in the lower sections of the Shanxi Shale is likely sourced from detrital input rather than chemical conversion, while the dissolution of potassium feldspar may account for the elevated kaolinite content. This is further supported by the oxygen level variations between the lower and upper shale intervals. …”
