The Middlesex Formation is a carbon rich black shale geologic formation found in the Appalachian Basin. It represents one of several transgressive events (rising sea levels) during the Late Devonian .
The black shales of the Kettle Point Formation are organic-rich and highly fissile. Some layer of black shale are interlaminated with white-coloured laminae of clay- to silt-sized quartz and calcite grains. The associated greyish green mudstones are homogeneous, lacking discernible lamination or other primary sedimentary structures.
The Hesseltal Formation or Blackcoloured Formation is a Late Cretaceous (late Cenomanian to early Turonian) geological formation from northern Germany.It consists of lithified marls and limestone, with a unique series of black shales deposited in anoxic conditions during the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary event.
The Francevillian B Formation, also known as the Francevillian Formation or FB2 in scientific research, is a geologic formation of black shale provinces close to the town of Franceville, Gabon from which it gets its name.
