“…Thus, elevated S3 ′ signals indicate presence of siderite [79,80]. We referred to Hazra et al (2022) [80] (and references within it) for understanding the impact of siderite on Rock-Eval S3 and S3 ′ . For the studied suite of samples, S3 ′ was observed to be similar for samples SH3 and SH6 (58.8 and 55.6 mg CO 2 /g rock, respectively) (Table 1).…”
