The geology and stratigraphy of oil shales in eastern Kentucky is presented along with a discussion of economic zones. In addition, the organic and inorganic geochemistry of the shales is detailed. It was found that the principal form of carbon present in the oil shale is as organic matter and that carbon and hydrogen are strongly zoned stratigraphically, with the highest levels present in the upper and lower portions of the oil shale sections. Fischer Assay yields of the two economic units were similar, averaging 10.3 gal/ton for the Sunbury shale and 11.9 gal/ton for the Cleveland HGZ. The major element chemistry was found to be both stratigraphically and laterally consistent for the oil shales. (JMT)
