Organic Geochemical Characteristics of the No. 9 Coal (Pennsylvanian) from the Anjialing Mine,Ningwu Coalfield,China

Abstract

Eight coal samples of Seam 9 were taken from the Anjialing Mine, Ningwu Coalfield, Shanxi Province, and were analysed by organic geochemical methods. The results indicate that the peat of Carboniferous Seam 9 may be formed dominantly in the marine-delta transition environments. The precursors of Seam 9 are both low and high plants existed in this basin.
