Black shales in the Holy Cross Mountains area of Poland provide a record of environmental change ... more Black shales in the Holy Cross Mountains area of Poland provide a record of environmental change across the OrdovicianeSilurian boundary. The changing depositional conditions have generated a variation in organic matter contents above and below the boundary. Investigating the organic constitution of these black shales has the potential to reveal how their organic matter contents were generated and how suitable these rocks and their lateral equivalents may be for exploitation as shale gas reservoirs. One outcrop at the Holy Cross Mountains with a continuous section across the OrdovicianeSilurian boundary occurs near the village of Bardo Stawy in the Kielce region, and contains sandy-silty mudstones, as well as grey and black shales. Organic geochemical analyses of samples at Bardo Stawy reveals low Total Organic Carbon (TOC) contents for Ordovician samples and higher TOC values for Silurian samples.
