This paper presents the first data on the organic matter and thermal maturity of Mesozoic and Cenozoic sedimentary rocks in the East Herzegovina region of the External Dinarides. Representative, organic-rich samples from outcropping sedimentary rocks of different ages in the area (Triassic to Neogene) were selected and analysed. The organic matter was studied by Rock-Eval pyrolysis and under the microscope in reflected non-polarized light and incident blue light. The results obtained show the presence of different types of organic ...

given qualitatively in Table 3. Bitumen and framboidal py-
rite were observed in all samples from Triassic to Eocene,
but mostly in those from the Jurassic and Cretaceous sedi-
mentary rocks.

�e predominant maceral in the Gacko coal sample is
atrinite (51%), followed by densinite (39%). Other mac-
erals, present in the sample in only small quantities, are
corpohuminite (5%) and to a lesser extent textinite, ulmi-
nite, fusinite and semifusinite.
