==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method of analyzing a geologic sample includes illuminating the geologic sample with a light beam and capturing an image of the geologic sample on a hyperspectral camera as a greyscale image, R-G-B color space image, or both, thereby collecting spectra having mid-wave infrared wavelengths or ultraviolet wavelengths reflected from a surface of the geologic sample. The method further includes processing the image to transform the image from the R-G-B color space, greyscale image, or both, and analyzing the Intensity to determine mineralogy, organic content, hydrocarbon presence, or combinations thereof of the geologic sample.
