Fossil Matter in the Geosphere

Part of the book series: Fundamentals in Organic Geochemistry ((FOCG))

Abstract

Almost all of minerals in the geosphere can be identified in sedimentary rocks. However, at this point there will be more discussion only about silicate, carbonate and sulphide minerals, as they are the most common and most important in studies of the interactions of inorganic and organic matter in sedimentary rocks.
