A comparative petrological study was conducted on the columnar joints of Guryongpo, Pohang, Yangnam, Gyeongju, and Gangdong-hwaam, Ulsan in Cenozoic Miocene sedimentary basin. Horizontal joints, these are characteristically developed, cross-sectional shape each joint is predominantly quadrilateral pentagonal Guryongpo Yangnam to hexagonal Gangdong-hwaam joint. As a result XRF analysis, it confi...

We have dated the South Delhi orogeny, Aravalli-Delhi Mobile Belt (ADMB), NW India, using tectonic fabric, geochemistry, and zircon-monazite geochronology as proxies. The Terrane (SDT), a passive margin domain in ADMB, consists of multiply deformed (D 1 –D 4 ) greenschist facies rocks several granite plutons. D deformation is characterized by pervasive isoclinal recumbent F fold axial planar te...

In the Southern São Francisco Craton near Itapecerica (Minas Gerais – Brazil) occurs a supracrustal succession of rocks, varying from bottom to top by quartzite, graphite schist, khondalitic paragneiss and banded iron formation whose protoliths are oceanic basin with ages in context Rhyacian-Orosirian orogeny. Amphibolite metaultramafic bodies occur associated this succession. Mineralogical tex...

Permian brachiopods from Oman are well-known as valuable tools for correlation and palaeobiogeographical palaeoclimatic reconstructions. Here, we describe a new brachiopod fauna the Qarari Unit of allochthonous Batain Group in northeast Oman. Brachiopods were collected four localities: Wadi Khawr al Jaramah (WKJ), Jebel (JQ1), X (JX3) Shiya (SH11). The age fossiliferous localities is wellconstr...

The strata in the Shita Mountain, Yunkai region, are predominantly composed of clastic rocks with intercalated limestones. However, precise stratigraphic age remains uncertain due to scarcity fossils. Previously, conglomerate layers this region were considered indicative Yunan Orogeny during Cambrian–Ordovician transition. through identification 12 lithofacies types and 5 combinations Mountain ...
