Figure 4.
(A) A Tuwaiq Mountain Formation escarpment along the Riyadh-Makkah highway. (B) A shale core having an interbedded organic-rich layer and carbonate layers. It represents the effect of changing sea level in the carbonate depositional platform. Source: Ferri et al. (2011). (C, D) Scanning electron microscopy images of Tuwaiq Mountain source rock showing the distribution of organic matter. The dark specks are made of kerogen. These specks are disconnected at the microscale. Source: Hakami (2016). ONP = organic nanopores.
