Using major and trace element analyses, this study investigated the impacts of paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental variations on organic matter enrichment in the Paleocene Yueguifeng, Lingfeng, and Mingyuefeng formations in the Lishui Sag, East China Sea Shelf Basin. Multiple geochemical proxies su...
