Kerogen was isolated, by techniques developed in this study, from twenty-one rock samples representing a wide variety of geologic ages, rock types, and environments of deposition. These techniques make it possible to separate relatively mineral-free kerogen from rocks containing trace amounts of organic matter and to obtain reliable measurements of physical and chemical properties of kerogen. The two types of kerogens recognized in this study appear to be controlled by the nature of the original living matter deposited with the sediments, although metamorphic forces also appear to have affected the properties of kerogen. Hydrogenolysis of different kerogens results in soluble products varying appreciably in amount and type.
