            Towards a sedimentology of organic matter.. 
              Organic matter is a normal component of sedimentary rocks. Even though it is usually in a low amount, its study gives valuable information especially in the field of (paleo) ecology. This study must be integrated in a complete investigation of the mineral components of the rocks; thus it will be possible to reconstruct sedimentary processes, then environments, and finally paleo-geography. This is how we can refer to a sedimentology organic matter.
