- Abstract
The article explores the use of the geobiological approach in the assessment of Chinese carbonate source rocks. A series of paleoecological and biogeochemical parameters were employed to represented organic carbon (OC). It notes that clastic rocks based on geobiological parameters are qualified source rocks, while good source rocks from carbonates have low total organic carbon (TOC) values. It also notes the broad range of habitat types for carbonate source rocks in the Yangtze platform.
