“…The Kroh Formation is a part of the Baling Group consisting of sandstone, shale, chert, siltstone and limestone. The rocks are highly deformed and folded (Burton, 1986). This formation is equivalent to the Mahang Formation in Kedah.…”

Dua puluh taksa radiolaria telah dikenal pasti daripada sampel yang diambil daripada singkapan rijang yang terdapat dalam batuan Paleozoik Atas di Utara Perak. Ini merupakan suatu penemuan baru fosil radiolaria di kawasan tersebut. Himpunan fosil radiolaria ini mewakili Zon Himpunan Albaillella deflandrei yang menunjukkan usia awal Tournaisian, Karbon Awal. Radiolaria yang berusia Tournaisian ini didapati daripada banyak lokasi di Semenanjung Malaysia dan juga di seluruh dunia. Pembentukan rijang beradiolaria pada masa Tournaisian berlaku secara global dan dikenali sebagai period hipersilika Tournaisian. Himpunan radiolaria ini mengisi wilayah paleobiogeografi dalam lautan Paleo-Tethys.

“…This is supported by the types of rock that can be found in the study area. The name of Gerik formation was taken from the nearby town named Gerik located in north Perak, which was previously named Gerik tuff [8,10]. According to Burton [10], the rock exposures from this formation can be seen well exposed along the East-West Highway that binds Perak to Kelantan state.…”

According to Burton [10], the rock exposures from this formation can be seen well exposed along the East-West Highway that binds Perak to Kelantan state. The Gerik formation is primarily made up of rhyolitic to rhyodacitic composition and tuffs of pyroclastic rocks that form during previous volcanic activities.…”

This paper presented new study on the mineral assemblages and the compositions on the rocks protolith. Banding island and its surrounding area are dominated by low-grade regional metamorphism which located within the East Malaya Block and dated from Ordovician to Permian age. The study area is situated at longitudes of 101° 22’ 25”E to 101° 22 35”E and latitudes at 5° 33’ 47”N to 5° 32’ 95”N. The metamorphic rocks consist of phyllite, mica schist, and metasandstone interbedded with slate. Majority of the phyllite are highly weathered with visible joint. Phyllite in the study area contains quartz veins with thickness varies from 0.5 cm to 6 cm, that follows the direction of rock foliation. Phyllite is dominated with mica group with major muscovite mineral, and the mica is mostly muscovite. While the mica shist is also dominated with mica group with muscovite mineral. The intensity of the regional metamorphism is lowest from the west of the Banding Island to slightly moderate metamorphism toward the east of the study area, which supported by the changes of the metamorphic rock type from phyllite to schist according to the petrographic analysis. Regionally, Perak state especially in Gerik area are dominated by rocks from Paleozoic era as Perak is located in Western Belt of Peninsular Malaysia.

“…Twenty-five percent of sedimentary rocks from Peninsular Malaysia are Paleozoic shale. The geology of these shales has been mapped by the Minerals and Geoscience Department and had been studied extensively for their lithologies and stratigraphy (Jones, 1970;Burton, 1986;Cocks et al, 2005;Metcalfe, 2013). However, the mineralogy and geochemistry of those shales have not been studied in detailed.…”

The unconventional resource has become an interesting field of study and some source rocks have turned to be excellent reservoirs for generation and accumulation. Twenty-five percent of sedimentary rocks from Peninsular Malaysia are Paleozoic shales. The goal of this paper is to evaluate and characterize the shales in the Kroh Formation, which is one of the Western Belt formations in Peninsular Malaysia. Representative shale samples have been taken from different outcrops of the Kroh Formation, were performed to study the mineralogical and geochemical characteristics to determine the quantity of the organic matter and the minerals. The TOC values range from 2.02 to 7.01 wt% and this range indicate that the shales have a very good source generative potential. These values fulfill the basic prerequisites of successful shale gas exploration. Results of X-ray Diffraction (XRD) indicate that the shale samples are mainly comprised of kaolinite as clay minerals and quartz and pyrite as non-clay minerals. In addition to illite, kaolinite, and quartz, Pyrite, calcite, and dolomite were identified within the shales through XRD. FTIR technique confirms the minerals that are present in the XRD. Knowing the clay minerals composition of the shale can be useful in planning for drilling and hydraulic fracturing of the Kroh Formation or similar characteristics.
