| contents | Sediments from the Gulf of California contain sufficient amounts of thermally reactive organic matter to be considered fair-to-good potential petroleum source rocks. While sediments deposited within the present oxygen-minimum zone have the greatest amounts of organic matter, those deposited below the oxygen-minimum contain sufficient organic matter to be considered potential source rocks. The organic matter in the sediment is almost exclusively marine, Type II kerogen. Different techniques of determining kerogen composition produce generally compatible answers, although pyrolysis gives somewhat misleading results. Elemental analysis of the kerogen and vitrinite reflectance measurements indicate that the organic matter is not buried to sufficiently great depth for significant petroleum generation, despite the high temperature gradients. |
