21. Bitumen is a naturally-occurring, inflammable organic matter formed from kerogen in the process of petroleum generation that is soluble in carbon bisulfide. Bitumen includes hydrocarbons such as asphalt and mineral wax. Typically solid or nearly so, and brown or black, bitumen has a distinctive petroliferous odor. Laboratory dissolution with organic solvents allows determination of the amount of bitumen in samples, an assessment of source-rook richness.

24. Transgression refers to the migration of a shoreline out of a basin and onto land during the accumulation of sequences through deposition, in which beds are deposited successively landward because sediment supply is limited and cannot fill the available accommodation space. A transgression can result in sediments characteristic of shallow water being overlain by deeper-water sediments.

28. Turbidites are sedimentary deposits formed by turbidity currents in deep water at the base of the continental slope and on the abyssal plain. Turbidites commonly show predictable changes in bedding from coarse layers at the bottom to finer laminations at the top, known as Bouma sequences, that result from different settling velocities of the particle sizes present. The high energy associated with turbidite deposition can result in destruction of earlier deposited layers by subsequent turbidity currents.
