The gigantic black shale deposits ('hot shales') deposited in the lowermost Silurian (Rhuddanian) in present-day North Africa, which contain around 80 to 90% of all Palaeozoic hydrocarbons in North Africa, are surprisingly not reflected in the δ13C curve.
“But the gigantic black shale deposits ( ' hot shales ' ) deposited in the lowermost Silurian (Rhuddanian) in present-day North Africa, which contain around 80 to 90% of all Palaeozoic hydrocarbons in North Africa (Lüning et al., 2000; Soua, 2014), are surprisingly not reflected in the δ 13 C curve (Cramer et al., 2011a).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
