PETROGRAPHY AND GEOCHEMISTRY OF METASEDIMENTARY ROCKS FROM THE TAKU SCHIST IN KELANTAN, NORTH-EAST PENINSULAR MALAYSIA.

The Taku Schist, which is located in the north-east Peninsular Malaysia, characterized by its North-South oriented elongated body. It forms part of Indonesian orogenic build-up that was generated via convergence Sibumasu continental unit and Sukhothai Arc. Subsequent petrography analyses metasedimentary rocks sourced from Schist revealed their formation attributable to metamorphism greenschist into amphibolite facies, could be observed near Triassic Cretaceous intrusions Kemahang Granite. evolutionary process linked with interactions occurring between contact regional metamorphisms. resulting chemical classification upon assessment disclosed were made up greywacke shale, grouped quartzose sedimentary provenance, belonged Continental Island Arc (CIA).
