Abstract
A study of the distribution of clay minerals and their accessories in the Mesozoic and Tertiary sediments of the Caucasus area points to the conclusion that the replacement of montmorillonite by hydromicas is necessarily associated with the conversion of dispersed organic matter to petroleum. The hydromicatization reaction gives off energy which may promote the conversion of organic matter. The transformation of montmorillonite also contributes to the migration of the broken-down organic compounds, inasmuch as the sorption is much weaker on hydromica than on montmorillonite.—Auth.
