Utilizing 25 drill cutting samples from the Dorado exploration well at intervals of 10 m, ranging from 2800 m to 3040 m in depth, various lithofacies were identified using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), polarizing microscope, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis.

Dominant minerals identified through XRD analysis include Quartz, Feldspar, Carbonate, and various clay minerals, facilitating shale classification. Five distinct lithofacies were delineated, encompassing calcareous, clayey, calcareous siliceous mixed, calcareous clayey mixed shales, and siliceous rocks. Noteworthy mineralogical compositions include abundant kaolinite, chlorite, and hematite minerals in the Maastrichtian succession, transitioning to montmorillonite, illite, and pyrite dominance in the Early Maastrichtian succession. Through clay mineralogy, this study discerns significant shifts in paleoenvironmental conditions, ranging from anoxic, arid to semi-arid climates during the Campanian to warm/wet, oxidizing environments during Maastrichtian, and finally to arid/semi-arid conditions during the early Paleocene.

Given that South Africa is projected to remain reliant on coal for its energy needs in the short-to medium-term, the study aims to expand on the limited knowledge regarding this part of the Main Karoo Basin (MKB). The samples are classified as low-rank A sub-bituminous to medium-rank D bituminous, with variable maceral composition, with very low to moderate vitrinite (5.8–48.0 vol%, mineral matter free basis, mmf) although most samples are dominated by inertinite (from 42.0 to 90.6 vol%, mmf). The vitrinite to inertinite ratio (V/I) varies from 0.06 to 1.14, indicative of generally dry and oxidizing environments with frequent paleofires. The dominant minerals in the studied coals are kaolinite and quartz. Angular to rounded quartz grains suggest a detrital origin, whereas kaolinite is both detrital and authigenic, the latter also occurring within telovitrinite cell lumens. In contrast, detrital kaolinite mainly occurs in association with inertodetrinite, sporinite, and the detrital quartz. This indicates allochthonous deposition for the detrital minerals and the associated organic matter (including charcoal), likely reflecting flooding of the paleomire. The Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/TiO<sub>2</sub> ratios indicate that the minerals were mostly derived from intermediate and felsic sources. Total sulphur (TS) values are generally low, suggesting freshwater conditions. The microlithotype facies plot suggests that the Coalbrook Sub-basin coals were deposited in lacustrine and lower deltaic environments, related to the undulating paleotopography at the base of the coalfield owing to the presence of karst features. This distinguishes the Vereeniging-Sasolburg from the other coalfields of the MKB (e.g., Witbank, Highveld, and Ermelo), which have the Dwyka diamictite at their base and formed in deltaic and fluvial environments. The paleotopography of the basement thus had a strong influence on peat accumulation in this coalfield, including in the Coalbrook Sub-basin.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100516,"journal":{"name":"Evolving Earth","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100067"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143876654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite extensive VM loss, the coals do not follow normal burial maturation pathways. Alteration above the sills exceeds that below, and the width of the contact aureole is large compared to that of the sills. This may suggest prolonged magma transport within the sills. Additionally, multiple fractures contain coke, pyrolytic carbon, and minerals, which suggests migration of fluidized coal, VM, and hot fluids. Incipient mosaic and anisotropic coke structures (fine-grained circular mosaic, with minor medium-grained circular mosaic) are observed within the aureole, consistent with intrusion of a high volatile bituminous coal. Devolatilization vacuoles, more abundant in altered collodetrinite than collotelinite, increase in number and size approaching the sills.
