Optical examinations, elemental analysis, i.r. spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis have been used to characterize the kerogens from the Logbaba (Upper Cretaceous) cores from the Douala Basin (Cameroon). It is shown that those kerogens are derived from the same type of organic matter, having mainly a land-plant origin. This conclusion fits very well that obtained from the examination of the soluble organic matter (see Part I). Thus the evolution of the properties of kerogens during burial is not due to a change in the nature of organic matter and can be related mainly to catagenesis. Owing to the existence of a high geothermal gradient in the basin and a sampling along a 4000 m thick sedimentary column, this evolution can be followed over a large range and correlated to the formation of petroleum and gas.
