    • The depositional environment of the Permian Longtan shale (LS) in southwestern Guizhou Province, China, has been analyzed using mineralogical and geochemical approaches. Macroscopic observations of those studied LS samples showed that the LS is rather homogeneous and interbedded with coal strips, suggesting a relatively stable and shallow water environment. A detailed microscopic analysis demonstrated that higher land plants contributed the predominant proportion of organic matter in the LS. Inorganic geochemical analysis revealed a mixed source of materials with relatively larger proportions of basalt and andesite. Semiarid to humid and warm climates corresponding to an overall intensive weathering were deduced in the late Permian periods. The LS was deposited in a brackish-to-marine water environment with an oxic to dysoxic redox condition. Sea level rise/down coupled with changes in climate, water salinity, and redox condition jointly controlled the formation of the Longtan shale. Mineralogical composition indicates that the LS mainly comprises of argillaceous with minor siliceous facies, which will likely bring challenges for hydraulic fracturing.
