The chemical and structural metamorphosis of coals Geol Rundsch 42:265-296

The chemical and structural metamorphosis of coals is investigated and explained. Carbonaceous matter reacts more sensitively, both chemically and structurally, to increases in temperature and pressure than many other minerals. Therefore, it is important to the geologist as an indicator in the early...

Summary:The chemical and structural metamorphosis of coals is investigated and explained. Carbonaceous matter reacts more sensitively, both chemically and structurally, to increases in temperature and pressure than many other minerals. Therefore, it is important to the geologist as an indicator in the early stages of sediment diagenesis and metamorphosis.
