In this study, oil shale samples were collected from Late Cretaceous Muwaqaar Chalk Marl Formation (MCM) in Jordan to study their petrologic and organic geochemical properties. Pyrolysis and bulk kinetic techniques were performed on the Late Cretaceous oil shales. The results of this study were used...
