Organic matter maturation vs clay mineralogy: A comparison for Carboniferous to Eocene sediments from the Alpine – Dinaride junction (Slovenia, Austria)

Clay mineral diagenesis of Carboniferous to Paleogene rocks within the Alpine-Dinaric junction was studied and compared to vitrinite reflectance. Generally, there is a good fit between clay mineral diagenesis and VR. However, clay mineral alterations lag behindmaturation in some Ladinian and Carnian...
