Short summary

In Pennsylvania's Marcellus Formation, most pores detectable by electron microscopy are linked to organic matter (OM), not the mineral matrix. Higher organic carbon content (TOC) above 5.5 wt.% does not increase porosity, and surprisingly, OM-hosted pore volume decreases significantly as TOC rises.
