Granulometry, Pebble Morphometry and Petrographic Studies as Indicators of Paleodepositional Environments of the Mamfe Formation in Ikom-Mamfe Embayment, South Eastern Nigeria

A. Otele, N. U. Essien & E. E. Okon · Journal of Geography, Environment and Earth Science International · 2018

Grain size distribution, pebble morphometry and petrographic analyses were carried out on samples collected from Mamfe Formation, Ikom-Mamfe Embayment, southeastern Nigeria to determine textural parameters, provenance and paleoenvironment. The results from grain size analysis sho...
