Figure 6. Images of pre-oil solid bitumen (sb) in starting materials and sb in the recovered rock from hydrous pyrolysis (HP) of the Alum and Huron shales. All images taken with incident white light under oil immersion. (A) Alum Shale starting material. (B) Alum Shale recovered from 300°C HP experiment. (C) Alum Shale recovered from 320°C HP experiment. (D) Alum Shale recovered from 340°C HP experiment. (E) Alum Shale recovered from 350°C HP experiment. (F) Alum Shale recovered from 360°C HP experiment. (G) Huron Member of the Ohio Shale starting material. (H) Huron recovered from 300°C HP experiment. Tasmanites is a marine alga present in many of the late Paleozoic shales of North America (Hackley and Cardott, 2016). (I) Huron recovered from 320°C HP experiment. (J) Huron recovered from 340°C HP experiment. (K) Huron recovered from 350°C HP experiment. (L) Huron recovered from 360°C HP experiment. inert = inertinite.
