Characterization of coal from the Mariovo basin, Macedonia - Insights from organic geochemical and sulphur isotopic data

Abstract

ABSTRACT: data detailed petrographic study of coal from the Mariovo basin in Macedonia suggests circulation of fluids mobilizing metals from different origins (basement, volcanism ?) during burial. Sulphur isotopic data on organic matter and pyrite indicate dominantly marine-derive fluids and processus of bacterial reduction of sulphates
