Pebble morphometric study was carried out for the Conglomeritic Arkosic Sandstone unit of the Ogoja Sandstone so as to decipher its paleodepositional environment.

FELDSPAR. Feldspar is the most abundant mineral in the world, making up nearly half of the volume of the earth's crust. This specimen contains two different forms of feldspar: green microline (also called amazon stone) and white orthoclase. ANDESITE. Andesite, a dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, is found only in a few places on Earth.

Important sources of feldspar rich pegmatite's occur in Kwara and Kogi States and also extensively around Osogbo in Osun State. Near Oshogbo, potash feldspars attain lengths of 0.9m, but around Ijero in Ekiti state, gigantic crystals are up to 1.2m long.

Chemical weathering of feldspars results in the formation of clay minerals such as illite and kaolinite. Production and uses. About 20 million tonnes of feldspar were produced in 2010, mostly by three countries: Italy (4.7 Mt), Turkey (4.5 Mt), and China (2 Mt). Feldspar is a common raw material used in glassmaking, ceramics, and to some extent ...

Río Secreto is an underground semi-flooded karstic formation with 14Km in length, with 15 natural outlets. Formerly known as Pool Tunich. It was discovered in 2006 and is located 5Km southwest of the urban area of Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, México. It is an invaluable example of the Yucatan Peninsula hydrogeology because

The arkose sandstone, limestone and shale of the 600 meter thick Odukpani Formation formed during the Cenomanian until the early Turonian, in the vicinity of modern-day Calabar. Fish teeth, ammonites and echinoids date the Eze-Aku Formation to the Turonian, while the blue-gray shales and marl limestone of the Awgu Formation dates to the Coniacian.

sandstone (Reyment, 1965) while the Mamu Formation is essentially composed of sandy shale and some coal seams whereas; the Nkporo Formation consists mainly of grey - blue mudstone and shale with lenses of sandstone (Obaje, 2009). According to Reyment (1965), the prevailing unit of Ajali Formation consists of thick, friable, poorly sorted sandstone.

feldspar in odupkani formation. Feldspar The Gemology Project. Feldspar is a group of minerals that are very important in rock formation, accounting for over half of Earth's crust! There are a number of varieties that are used in jewelry. The most important are andesine, sunstone, amazonite, moonstone, and labradorite, the latter two known for ...

PDF | Abstract Sedimentologic characterization and provenance studies of various facies of the Awi Formation were carried out. They consist of vertically stacked cycles of fining upward parasequences.

Analysis of 174 veins from metasediments and granites in the Igarra schist belt show that fracture – filling mineralizations are dominant and widest in this area. Fractures constitute the main plane of weakness in this area and they are usually parallel to the E – W direction which seems to be favoured for wide vein formation.

Formation of Feldspar. Feldspars, the most important of the rock-forming minerals, are integral constituents of almost every igneous rock; in fact, it is the color of the feldspar that usually determines the color of the igneous rock of which it is a part. For example, orthoclase, which makes up about 90% of the volume of a granite, makes the ...

The Anambra Shale underlies the eastern part of the state, particularly in Ayamelum, Awka North, and Oruma North LGAs. Next in the geological sequence, is the Ameke Formation, which includes Nanka Sands, laid down in the Eocene. It's rock types are sandstone, calcareous shale, and limestone in .

Paleocurrent, petrographic and heavy-mineral analyses of the Ajali Sandstone (Late Cretaceous) in southeastern Nigeria show that the sedimentary rocks on the Santonian Okigwe-Abakaliki anticlinorium provided the major detritus, whereas minor contributions of the eastern Precambrian basement block (Oban massif) are confined along a narrow belt southeast of Alayi in the Afikpo Basin.

Formation, Properties, & Varieties of Feldspar. Feldspars are important diagnostic minerals in identifying many rocks as well as distinguishing their composition without performing expensive chemical analysis. They occur as major rock forming minerals in the majority of igneous and metamorphic rocks on earth. Feldspars are used as paint fillers ...
