  "definition": "Relating to the ocean or sea, describing environments of deposition, sedimentary rocks, or fossils originating in saltwater settings.

Source rocks rich in organic matter, such as black shales, form in anoxic deep marine basins, while porous carbonate reefs and shelf sandstones form excellent reservoirs.",
