The relationship between sedimentation rate and total organic carbon content in ancient marine sediments

Sedimentation rate could become a new exploration tool for evaluating the source rock potential of sedimentary basins in frontier regions. Petroleum source rocks are defined on the basis of total organic carbon by weight percent. An analysis of Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) cores indicates that t...
