TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the long-term fate of organic matter in the geosphere and its role in sedimentary organic matter preservation and degradation in the geological timescale.

TL;DR: It is generally accepted that the formation of kerogens is the result of the so-called depolymerization-recondensation pathway (Tissot and Welte, 1984; Durand, 1980) as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: It is generally accepted that the formation of kerogens is the result of the so-called depolymerization-recondensation pathway (Tissot and Welte, 1984; Durand, 1980), Thus, naturally occurring macromolecular substances such as polysaccharides and proteins are enzymatically depolymerized to oligo- and monomers, which for the most part are mineralized. However, a small part of them are thought to condense with other substances such as low-molecular-weight lipids in a random way (Fig. 1). During diagenesis, the “geopolymers” thus formed continuously undergo chemical transformations by which they become more and more insoluble and resistant. Kerogens are being formed, which—depending on the nature of the original organic matter contributions—can generate various amounts and sorts of oil under thermal stress.
