The paper presents the results of a study of carbonate and sulfate–carbonate–clayey rocks of the Lower Maeotian in the sections of the bays of Cape Kazantip using a complex of analytical methods. It is established that the greatest variation of chemical, bituminological, phase, and carbon-isotope composition is characterized by carbonate–clay and clayey rocks of the section bottom. It is proved that the initial OM was accumulated mainly under reducing conditions, but has some variations in compo
