Organic Matter Preservation and Hydrocarbon Potential of Microbialites: Insights From TOC Reconstruction in the Leikoupo and Dengying Formations, Sichuan Basin

ABSTRACT Microbialites vary widely in organic matter abundance and preservation, making their hydrocarbon‐generating potential uncertain. Here, we compare microbialites from two contrasting depositional settings in the northwestern Sichuan Basin: the Middle Triassic Leikoupo Form...
