Abstract AR

تمثل الحقبة الوسطية العليا من العصر الثلثي الأوسط (الميوسيني) لمنطقة بيبازاري باسين (وسط أنتوليا – تركيا) بمزيج من تراكيب و كتل بركانية، و صخور رملية و ترسبية و جبرية و فحم حجري و صخور قارية و صخور مسامية.

كما يلاحظ بروز واضح واسع الانتشار لصخور القار في المنطقة و تتراوح النسبة الوزنية للكربون العضوي في صخور القار بين 0,37 – 7,07%، و أغلب المواد العضوية عبارة عن طحالب من النوع الأول و الثاني.

و قد دلت المميزات و القيم التالية Ro = 0.27 – 0.56%، Tmax = 409 - 437°C، إضافة إلى نسبة Ts/Tm = 1.5 على أن المادة العضوية غير ناضجة، كما أكد ذلك نتائج المحددات الحيوية.

كذلك دلت قيم Pr/n-C17 و Ph/n-C18 على أن صخور القار قد تراكمت على شكل طين غني بالمواد العضوية في بيئة سبخية.

Abstract EN

Middle–Upper Miocene units of the Beypazarı Basin (Central Anatolia - Turkey) are represented by conglomerate, agglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, claystone, coal, bituminous shale, limestone, and tuff.

Extensive outcrops of bituminous horizons just above coal are observed in the region.

Total organic carbon contents of the bituminous horizon vary from 0.37 to 7.07 wt%.

Organic matter is predominantly of algal origin consisting of Type I and Type II kerogens.

Low vitrinite reflection index (Ro = 0.27 - 0.56 %) and Tmax (409 – 437oC) values, together with the Ts/Tm ratio of 1.5, indicate that the organic matter is immature.

Biomarker characteristics verify these results.

According to the Pr/n-C17 and Ph/n-C18, ratios the bituminous units were deposited as organic-rich muds in reducing lacustrine environments.
