APPENDIX
*NOTE: These samples were mixtures of caved anhydrite and indigenous
limestone material.
The picking of an indigenous sample was impractical
so the sample
was analyzed without picking. An "Adjusted TOC" value for indigenous
material was calculated as follows:
(FI)(TOCI)
+ (Fc)(TOCc)
TOCr = TOC,
-
= (~)(TOCT)
(Fp)(TOC,)
FI
Where FI = fraction of indigenous sample TOCI
= TOC of indigenous sample
= TOC o f CAVED material
FC = fraction of CAVED material TOCC
TOCT = TOC of Total sample
The data are presented in Appendix
A.
In like manner,adjusted values have been computed for the Rock-Eva1 dsta.
These are shown in Appendix
B.
No adjustments were neededfor the visual kerogen data since the
red beds d o not
contain any kerogen
of any significance.
