University of Basra master's thesis investigates the geochemistry and mineralization of rock units in Jabal Sanam
A master's thesis at the University of Basra's Faculty of Science investigated the geochemistry and mineralogy of some rock units in Jabal Sanam in southern Iraq.
The thesis, submitted by researcher Ghufran Basil Ghayaz, aims to determine the mineral properties that included primary and secondary minerals that were affected by the processes of transformation and change, as well as studying the behavior and distribution of major, rare and rare earth elements in each rock unit
The thesis included the importance and diagnosis of the minerals and the processes that affected them, and the use of the distribution and behavior of major, rare and rare earth elements in understanding the origin and emergence of Mount Sanam.
The thesis concluded that Mount Sannam consists of several rock units, the most important of which are sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rock units, and these units have undergone processes of change and transformation.
