Geochemical data for the relationship between whole rock S/Fe and degree of organic sulfurization in the Eagle Ford Group
January 27, 2025
Geochemical data were generated from multiple thermally immature drill cores of the Eagle Ford Group across Texas. This data set accompanies a journal article that shows the relationship between whole rock S/Fe and degree of organic sulfurization across the thermally immature Eagle Ford in Texas. The data include LECO total carbon and total organic carbon, programmed pyrolysis, whole rock elemental chemistry, kerogen elemental chemistry, and XRD mineralogy, as well as parameters calculated from measured values.

Sulfur-to-iron ratio as a proxy for degree of organic sulfurization Sulfur-to-iron ratio as a proxy for degree of organic sulfurization
The degree of organic sulfurization is broadly relevant yet underreported. We present a statistically significant correlation between whole rock S/Fe and the measured degree of organic sulfurization in the thermally immature Cenomanian–Turonian Eagle Ford Group. This relationship shows a sink switch for sulfur from pyrite to organic matter. Excess iron and excess sulfur relative to...
