Considering the importance of the Palmyrian folding zone as one of the
promising zones, and the scientific and practical importance of the isolation of
the matrix formation in any sedimentary basin or in any part of it, and that the
sedimentary ro
cks, which have sufficient quantity and quality of organic
materials cannot become matrixes until they undergo convnient conditions of
temperature, pressure and geological time, the aim of this work is to study the
effect of these factors on the sedimentary rocks of the investigated ones and to
isolate the formations, which may be matrixes.
According to the results of this study,the formations which may play the
main role as matrix are these which have Middle Triassic age or Paleozoicin
the northern Palmyrian subzone, and older than Permian age in the southern
Palmyrian subzone .
