Resumo

Pyrolysis assay, bitumen analysis, and elemental analysis of kerogen were used to characterize the organic matter of selected core samples from Hole 534A (Leg 76) and Hole 391C (Leg 44) on the Blake-Bahama Plateau. The organic matter throughout the stratigraphic section appears to be principally of a terrestrial origin. The data from several isolated horizons in the Hatteras and Blake-Bahama Formations imply the presence of significant quantities of autochthonous marine organic matter. However, these horizons appear so limited that they cannot be considered potential liquid hydrocarbon source rocks. All the analyzed samples are immature and have not evolved sufficiently to enter into the main stage of hydrocarbon generation. The temporal and spatial restrictions of strata rich in marine organic matter suggest that they do not represent major expansions and contractions of anoxic bottom-water masses, but represent limited occurrences of anoxic conditions.
