“…It is noteworthy to mention that all the Precambrian metasediments are characterized with high contents of CM, up to volumetrically >10%, and it is hosted in the black shales, slates and carbonaceous shales, carbonaceous phyllites and carbonaceous mudstones [12,16,17]. These carbonaceous rocks commonly occur over many tens of kilometers rock band in the central Hainan Province [23].Previous research indicates that CM is likely to be generated by metamorphism during Caledonian period, and soured from Precambrian [24].…”
