title: Conditions of clay pulp formation in mud volcanoes of the Kerch-Taman Region according to the data of pyrolytic and geochemical studies
abstract: The pyrolytic characteristics of dispersed organic matter were determined in clay pulp samples collected from 23 mud volcanoes of the Kerch-Taman area (Crimean-Caucasian region). It belongs to type III kerogen, and its level of change corresponds to the earliest stages of oil generation. It is also shown that the organic matter carried out by volcanoes, by its pyrolytic characteristics, is almost a complete analog of the dispersed organic matter present in the clays of the Maikop series sediment
