Composition and thermal maturity of organic matter components from Menilite Beds (Skole Unit) were analyzed. Samples (26) were collected from 9 outcrops within the investigated area. Samples represented several lithologies-clay and marly shales, mudstones, sandstones/siltstones, micritic limestones and cherts. Macerals of three groups (vitrinite, inertinite and liptinite) are present in the analyzed samples. Macerals of the liptinite group are the most numerous. Within this group, bituminite is most common, while alginite and liptodetrinite are less often observed. Macerals of the vitrinite (collotelinite, telinite, vitrodetrinite) and inertinite (fusinite, semifusinite, inertodetrinite) groups are also present, but their content is significally lower compared to the macerals of the liptinite group. Organic matter within all the investigated area is clearly immature, which is confirmed by both vitrinite reflectance R o and T max parameters. The composition of organic matter relates mostly to kerogen type II and III (and their mixture). Several relations between Rock-Eval parameters and maceral composition were identified. The obtained results were compared to data from Menilite Beds of the Silesian Unit.

The char ac ter iza tion of or ganic mat ter (OM) in sed i men tary rocks is im por tant in many types of bi o log i cal, geo log i cal and envi ron men tal re search. The in te grated use of mi cros copy and geo chem is try, as here, is par tic u larly use ful in any at tempt to de fine the or i gin and evo lu tion of OM in sed i men tary bas ins. The or ganic pe trog ra phy and geo chem is try dif fer ent types of allogenic and authigenic OM from the Pol ish Outer Carpathian (POC) rocks were stud ied in pres ent study to com pare their ge netic type, ther mal ma tu rity, depositional en vi ron ment and post-sed i men ta tion pro cesses. Spe cial at ten tion was paid to re de pos ited coal clasts oc cur rences. The used tech niques show dif fer ences in or ganic mat ter type orig i nat ing from var i ous sources. The or ganic pe trog ra phy anal y sis shows that re de pos ited coal clasts (CC) and terrigenous or ganic mat ter (TOM) are com posed pre dom i nantly of woody ma te rial (the gas-prone Type-III kerogen). Sim i lar re sults were ob tained dur ing the Rock-Eval py rol y sis. More over, the GC-MS anal y sis of ex tracts in di cated the ad di tional source of OM, namely plank tonic organic mat ter (POM) with oil-prone kerogen Type-I or II. This OM is in some cases high ther mally ma ture and could po ten tially has allochthonous or i gin. The n-alkane, sat u rated and ar o matic biomarker data re vealed de po si tion of this POM in anoxic deltaic or close-shore sed i men tary en vi ron ments whereas the re de pos ited coal clasts were prob a bly orig i nally de pos ited in coal swamps as were the Up per Silesian bi tu mi nous coals.

Organic matter from Menilite Beds of the Dukla Unit was studied (optical microscopy, Rock-Eval pyrolysis). In its composition, macerals from vitrinite, liptinite and inertinite groups are observed. Macerals of the liptinite group are dominating (alginite, bituminite and liptodetrinite). Among all invested lithological types, mudstones have the highest average content of these macerals, while in case of marly shales, sandstones/siltstones, micrite limestones and chert the content of individual liptinite macerals is always lower than 1 vol%. The vitrinite group is represented mainly by collotelinite and vitrodetrinite and its average content in all analyzed lithologies does not exceed 1 vol%. Fragments of collotelinite show significant diversity in terms of the reflectance. Macerals of the inertinite group (fusinite, semifusinite, inertodetrinite) are usually limited to single occurrences within the entire investigated sample area. In 41 out of 43 samples, the collotelinite fragments were numerous enough that it was possible to measure the reflectance. For samples in which reflectance of vitrinite fragments was measured, this parameter ranges from 0.25% to 0.56%. Rock-Eval pyrolysis results provided additional information, of which the most important were values of TOC (from 0.47% to 6.04%, average 2.61%), T max (417-449°C), hydrogen (95-502) and oxygen (<133) indices. In the western part of the investigated area, within the tectonic window of Świątkowa, Menilite Beds are in the phase of oil window, while in other locations organic matter is immature. Analyzed samples contain types II, II/III or III of kerogen. Type II dominates in clay shales and mudstones, while type III is most often observed in marly and carbonate shales and also in sandstones/siltstones.
