SEM Images from 74NY5 Have had 8 samples ion-milled and imaged by Juergen Schieber His assessment is that almost all of the porosity is organic porosity with much less common intra-clay porosity He said these are some of the best-developed organic pores he has seen High thermal maturity in this area (Ro>3)
