Abstract The site of Jebel Moya, situated in the center southern Gezira Plain southcentral Sudan, has an occupational sequence spanning at least five millennia until around 2000 years ago. Renewed excavation is shedding new light on its chronology and socioeconomic history, including activities such as burial, savanna herding, domesticated sorghum cultivation practices dating to mid-third mille...

Abstract A comparative analysis on source rock properties has been carried out the Miocene-Pliocene formations as well Quaternary terrace deposits using Rock–Eval pyrolysis results and organic petrography some biomarkers results. Samples were obtained from outcrops of deposits, Pliocene-aged Liang Formation together with Miocene Miri Setap Shale in Brunei-Muara district, sample lithologies rang...

Petrography and chemistry of minerals showing that Eocene alkaline volcanic rocks in southwestern of Germi (Talesh zone, NW Iran) mostly have basaltic composition. Mineralogically these rocks are composed of diopsidic clinopyroxene and labradoritic plagioclase phenocrysts. The microlithic and glassy groundmass composed of sanidine, clinopyroxene, biotite, pargasitic amphibole and magnetite asso...

Multistage fluid activities and hydrocarbon accumulation processes have occurred in the Dengying Formation of Sichuan Basin during its long geological history. Petrography cathodoluminescence observations; situ microanalysis rare earth elements, carbon, oxygen, strontium isotopes; inclusion microthermometric experiments; laser Raman burial history; thermal generation history simulation been app...
