The present paper is focused on the petrological characteristics of dispersed organic matter of the Silurian part of the Graptolite Shales from the Bardo Mts. (Sudetes). The most abundant organic component is secondarily altered organic matter represented by solid bitumen. Based on the results obtained by optical microscopy, it was possible to distinguish several types of solid bitumen. They were determined as granular, porous, coke-like, mosaic andfluidal types. All bitumen types are optically isotropic. Bitumen reflectance varies between 1.37 and 1.62%. Based on the % reflectance values, the solid bitumen identified in the studied samples are classified as pyrobitumen.
