Abstract
The Wufeng-Longmaxi marine shale of the Upper Ordovician (O3w)-Lower Silurian (S1l) is the main source rock and target for shale gas exploration in Sichuan Basin, China. Maturity assessment is very important for shale gas evaluation, and such assessment is difficult because of the absent of vitrinite, which is the main objective for vitrinite reflectance analysis. Graptolite fragments and solid bitumens are the dominant forms of organic matter...
