Selected Malaysian black shale sequences of the Permo-Triassic and Devonian ages that crop out in Central Belt were investigated to discuss their chemical composition, provenance, tectonic setting, weathering history. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis shows BRSZ Unit 1 has elevated SiO2, TiO2, K2O contents compared Semantan Gua Musang shale. In terms trace elements, element shales. The highest ...

A provenance study was conducted on the Mid-Proterozoic Newland Formation, in which petrographical features of sandstones and geochemical characteristics of shales were integrated to arrive at an internally consistent interpretation. Sandstones of the Newland Formation are typically arkosic sands and arkoses with very well rounded quartz and feldspar grains and only minor amounts of extrabasina...

The dataset presented here is associated with the article “Young Silicic Magmatism of Greater Caucasus, Russia implication for its delamination origin based on zircon petrochronology and thermomechanical modeling” [1] . We present detailed sample descriptions source locations rocks from Chegem, Tyrnyauz, Elbrus volcanic center localities in that study. presents extensive isotope trace element g...

Evans Shoal Gas Field comprises the wells Evans Shoal-1and Evans Shoal-2 .Our study aimed to determine the hydrocarbon potential of the main source rock in the study area and analyze the petroleum systems and guide future hydrocarbon exploration and development. The methods used encompass BasinMod techniques using mathematical methods. Analysis of the source rock potential helped to identify th...

Muscovite granite (13.8% muscovite, 4.8% normafive corundum) was reacted, with varying percentages of H20, in cold-seal vessels at 2 kbar and in piston-cylinder apparatus between 10 and 35 kbar. The diagrams illustrating melting/crystallization relationships are: P-T sections with both excess H20 and with no H:O added (0.66% H20 in rock); T-X•2o sections at 15 kbar and 25 kbar showing H:O-under...
