The oil shale of the Toolebuc formation in Queensland, Australia has been shown to contain relatively high concentrations of vanadium and nickel porphyrin compounds. Two aspects of the porphyrin compounds in this deposit are described. First, the variations in the concentrations of the chloroform extractable metal porphyrin compounds through well-characterized drill cores was determined. Second, the ature of the vanadium porphyrins was examined using absorption spectrophotometry and insertion probe, fast atom bombardment and field desorption mass spectrometry techniques. (JMT)
