Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGEOPHYSICAL AND LABORATORY STUDIES OF THE SPREAD AND QUALITY OF THE ODUKPANI LIMESTONE DEPOSITT. E. Chidomerem, A. E. Akpan, I. O. AkpanThe Odukpani limestone deposit has been investigated using geophysical and laboratory techniques with the aim of generating information on its spread and quality. Information generated from the analyses of twenty-six Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) and core drilling data were used in the study. The VES data were acquired in both grid and random patterns in the immediate area of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 20 Jun 2014 · 7,097 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSEDIMENTARY FACIES AND DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENTS OF CENOZOIC SEDIMENTARY FORMATIONS CROPPING OUT AT THE CENTRAL PART OF THE DOUALA BASINBachirou Mfayakouo Chavom, Pierre R. Njike Ngaha, Dieudonné L. BitomThe Douala Basin is one of three units of the Cameroonian coastal basin in the Gulf of Guinea, formed from the east-west extension between African and South American plates generated during the opening of South Atlantic in the Early Cretaceous. This basin contains sediments from Lower Cretaceous to present. The Cretaceous depositional environments are well understood whereas there is very … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2015 · 7,936 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLithofacies and Depositional Environment of Volcano-Sedimentary Deposits of Se Mayo Oulo BasinElie Fosso Menkem, David Sebag, Benjamin Ngounou Ngatcha, Alain DurandThe study of volcano-sedimentary deposits of Mangbai in SE Mayo Oulo basin-Cameroon leads to the identification of five major distinct lithofacies types. From the coarset to the finest lithofacies, there are: Gb-clast supported by massive coble and boulder, Gg-granule to massive gravel, Sm-massive sand, Sh-horizontal layered sandstones, Fml-massive laminated claystones. Coarse facies (Gb, Gg, Sm) are cemented with volcanic matrix … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 19 Dec 2013 · 7,372 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrofacies and Sedimentary Environments of Gurpi and Pabdeh Formations in Southwest of IranMohammad BahramiProblem statement: The Upper Cretaceous Gurpi and lower Tertiary Pabdeh formations as units of folded Zagros Zone were studied in three different regions (Tang-e-Abolhiat, Tang-e-Zanjiran and Maharloo) in Fars Province, Iran. Approach: Gurpi formation consisted of thin to medium sized layers of gray marl and marlstone interbedded with thin layers of argillaceous limestone and shale. The dominant microfacies in this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,735 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAlbian-Cenomanian Zonation (Foraminifers and Calcareous Aglae) in the Northern Fars, IranMahnaz Parvaneh Nejad ShiraziProblem statement: In the middle Cretaceous of Iran, fossil calcareous algae and zonation them with foraminifers are one of the less studied compared to others invertebrate groups such as foraminiferis, mollusks and others. Several stratigraphic units were analyzed in detail and a biostratigraphic zonation of the Albian-Cenomanian rocks of the Fars basin (Sw. Iran) is proposed. Approach: All stratigraphic units … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Provenance of the Varzaneh Aeolian Sand Field Regarding to Lithology and Texture, SW Esfahan, IranH. Pakzad, R. AjalloeianThe main mineralogical/lithological composition of the Varzaneh aeolian sands is sedimentary and igneous lithics. The minor one is metamorphic lithics and mineral grains (such as quartz, feldspar and heavy mineral grains) respectively. The origin of the sedimentary lithics (mainly carbonates) mostly is from sedimentary rocks exposed in the west and the southwest of the study area. These rocks belong to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,199 accessesView PDFCite
