Abstract
These data indicate that the majority of the samples from the Suèges and Caylus sections are in the immature to early mature evolution stages and Pont de Suert section samples are in late mature to early overmature evolution stages for liquid hydrocarbons generation, supporting a very similar thermal evolution for the Grands Causses and Quercy basins and an entirely different thermal history for the Pyrenean Basin. This is in accordance with the similar tectonic and sedimentary context of the Quercy and Grands Causses basins. The Pont de Suert section, located near the collision front of the Pyrenees mountains, records a more complex sedimentary and tectonic history. In addition, this study presents the first reflectance data for Jurassic hydroids, which show a good correlation with other rank parameters.
