Heavy Minerals in Tanjero Sandstone by asoomma19 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The study investigates heavy minerals in the Upper Cretaceous Tanjero Formation in northeastern Iraq to understand sandstone provenance. Analysis of twenty sandstone samples revealed a predominance of opaque minerals and a generally immature sediment composition, indicating limited transport from source rocks. The findings suggest a high tectonic activity in the region, with the mineral assemblage reflecting the geological history of the area influenced by the collision of the Arabian and Iranian plates.
