The multielemental composition of 31 lavas sampled in the extrusive section of the Oman ophiolite was determined by inductively coupled plasma‐source mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS). This study allowed us to define clear geochemical criteria to characterize the different lavas types in Oman. Most of the Oman ophiolite extrusive …
The late Cretaceous-lower Tertiary hydrothermal alteration of serpentinized peridotite in the Semail ophiolite has formed two distinct types of listwaenite. Type I is characterized by the presence of calcite (Type IA) or dolomite (Type IB)+fuchsite±spinel. Type II is dominated by silicate minerals (quartz, chlorite, …
This work presents an assessment of geochemical toxic metal stocking in top-soil within the area of a limestone quarry in Gombe State. Samples of topsoil from the area of a limestone quarry in Gombe (North-eastern Nigeria) were collected to analyse levels of hazardous substances such as of Hg, Fe, Zn, Ni, Mn, Cu, Cr, Cd and Pb. A …
Abstract. Oman's petroleum systems are related to four known source rocks: the Precambrian-Lower Cambrian Huqf, the Lower Silurian Sahmah, the Late Jurassic Shuaiba-Tuwaiq and the Cretaceous Natih. The Huqf and the Natih have sourced almost all the discovered fields in the country. This study examines the shale-gas and shale-oil …
Water-rock reaction, as controlled by lithology and hydrogeology, constrains the distribution of life in terrestrial ophiolites, and taxonomic and geochemical data suggest that several metabolisms may be operative in subsurface fluids, including methanogenesis, acetogenesis, and fermentation. Microbial abundance and diversity in deep subsurface …
Al Ajmi marble strictly adheres to quality control procedures and its commitments to achieve high standards in all its production activities. ... Qatar *OMAA - Oman Museum Across Ages - Opening Soon - We have proudly supplied our Sohar Marble for the Internal and External package. The Museum is designed by COX Architecture and supervised by …
The Dichinama area in northern Ethiopia is a potential source of dimension stone, but the quality of the marble has been a major challenge for mining operations. This research aims to evaluate the quality of dimension stone by conducting a comprehensive study involving geological mapping, geotechnical ...
The resources selected as the targets for the dimension stone assessment were the carbonate and ophiolite rock sequences in the Oman Mountains. The suitability of different rock type was assessed ...
Oman Tiles & Marble Co. (OMIC) was founded in 1974 and is currently one of the largest marble companies in the area. For over 38 years, and while keeping pace with the Omani Renaissance, OMIC has provided the unsurpassed elegance and timeless beauty of natural stone for the everchallenging....
The work is devoted to the study of pollution by technogenic magnetic particles and heavy metals of soils in the city of Gubakha, Middle Ural (Russia). The aim of the work is the ecological and geochemical assessment of the elemental chemical composition of the soils of the city of Gubakha, and the establishment of the …
Based on geological, petrological and geochemical data, extrusive rocks of the Oman ophiolite were subdivided into five [13] or three units [14], [15]. In this paper, we use the division and terminology by Umino et al. [15] for simplicity: MORB-like Geotimes Volcanics, arc-volcanics-like Alley Volcanics, and alkaline Salahi Volcanics, in ...
PROMISING POTENTIAL: The mining sector's contribution to the GDP, in value terms, slid 10.6 per cent to RO 125.3 million in 2019, down from RO 140.3 million …
A comprehensive study was conducted from a semi-arid part of Yavtmal District, Maharashtra, India through combination approaches of geochemical modeling and its health consequences. The groundwater quality assessment shows that 55% of groundwater samples have the concentration of fluoride above the desirable limit.
Abandoned mine areas exhibit heavy metal contamination. This severely reduces the soil quality. This paper concerns the assessment of soils near an abandoned copper mine in Lasail, northern Oman. …
This study presents a comprehensive investigation of the Paleocene coal in the Tirah area, District Khyber, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, utilizing onsite Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) experiments combined with geochemical analyses of obtained coal-rock samples. ERT and GPR profiles, …

Ikpeshi marble contains isolated saddle-shaped crystals of dolomite. [11] Suggests that marble with less than 11% of MgCO3 is calcitic, those with greater than 40% of MgCO3 …
Geochemical‐balance evaluations showed depletion of all trace elements except for Fe which was 176% higher than in a natural uncultivated and unirrigated reference soil. Correlation and factor analyses showed that all determined trace elements likely originated from the same natural sources, which probably are the soil parent …
Alternatively, this study from the Sultanate of Oman utilizes a combination of geochemical and isotopic tracers (O, H, C, Sr) for the identification of aquifer units, recharge areas, groundwater flow paths and residence times in a coastal alluvial aquifer of the Eastern Batinah region in Northern Oman.
DOI: 10.1016/J.JSEAES.2012.06.008 Corpus ID: 129162436; Geochemical constraints on genesis of dolomite marble in the Bayan Obo REE–Nb–Fe deposit, Inner Mongolia: Implications for REE mineralization
Oman Marble is used extensively as ornamental stone tiles and slabs in the Oman building industry. Oman marble is exported to more than 20 countries, hence Omani marble has a sound economic standing and given the almost inexhaustible reserves of this resource it is most likely, that the marble quarrying industry
The Bayan Obo giant REE-Nb-Fe deposit in Inner Mongolia is the most famous and largest REE deposit in the world. Its genesis has been long disputed. Carbonate rocks of this deposit are divided into four categories based on their texture, mineral assemblage and geological occurrence: (1) Sedimentary limestone and dolostone, (2) Deformed …
5 Geochemical Evaluations. Geochemical evaluation is a technique based on selected elemental ratios that is used to identify processes controlling element concentrations in soil and confirm or rule out the presence of contamination in individual samples. These ratios reflect trace elements' affinities to adsorb on the surfaces of specific minerals in soil.
