Figure F67. Depth profiles of the type and maturity of organic matter by Rock-Eval pyrolysis of sediments, Hole C0011B. Tmax = temperature at which the maximum release of hydrocarbons from cracking of kerogen occurs during pyrolysis, S2 = amount of hydrocarbons (HC) generated through thermal cracking of nonvolatile organic matter, S3 = amount of CO2 produced during pyrolysis of kerogen, HI = hydrogen index, OI = oxygen index, TOC = total organic carbon.
