Feb 29, 2024 · Grain size analysis, geochemistry, and petrography of sandstones of the Ilaro Formation exposed at the Ajegunle area were investigated to infer provenance, transportation history, tectonic setting, paleoenvironment, and degree of palaeoweathering of the sediments.

Jan 11, 2025 · This study investigates the sandstones of the Ilaro Formation exposed in the Ajegunle area to infer their provenance, sedimentary history, and tectonic setting.

This research utilizes granulometric analysis, along with major, trace, and rare earth element geochemistry, to ascer-tain the origin, tectonic setting, paleoweathering, paleoclimatic conditions, and paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the Ilaro …

Dec 31, 2024 · This study examines the depositional processes and paleo-environment of sediments and pebbles from three sampled locations of the Tertiary Ilaro Formation in the Nigerian section of the Dahomey Basin.

The provenance, tectonic setting, source area weathering and paleoenvironment of the Ilaro sandstone of the Dahomey basin have been assessed using geochemical studies. The source area analyses suggest that the sediments were derived from felsic,

The provenance, tectonic setting, source area weathering and paleoenvironment of the Ilaro sandstone of the Dahomey basin have been assessed using geochemical studies. The source area analyses suggest that the sediments were derived from felsic, intermediate and mafic sources with contributions from recycled quartz-rich older sediments.

Peer Review History: Sedimentological Characteristics of Ilaro Formation, Exposed Around Ajegunle, Dahomey Basin, Southwestern Nigeria

Discover the sedimentary successions of the Benin Basin in Nigeria, featuring abandoned channels and subaerial exposure. Explore lithofacies like conglomerates, sandstone, siltstone, and more. Uncover the depositional sequences and re-interpret the Tertiary sedimentary successions in the area.

Oct 2, 2019 · Granulometric analysis reveals that the texture of the sediments ranged from medium to coarse through to very coarse, they are symmetrically skewed and dominantly mesokurtic. Bivariate plot however depicts the Ilaro sandstone to be fluviatile in their depo-setting.
