Abstract
Material resembling lignite, found as intercalations in Liassic marine sequences at Severac and Vassy, France, is the product of transformation of the wood of conifers in a marine environment. From their mixed character, these products appear to be related to the bitumens; their chemical composition is closer to that of the keratogen of bituminous shales than to that of coal.
