carbonate mineral that is usually white or colorless‚ but can have variety of colors due to impurities. It is one of the world’s most important minerals and is the most common. Calcite is one of the softest minerals and can be found in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Calcite has more practical uses than most other minerals. This mineral can be found in limestone and marble which is makes up most of the Earth’s crust. The primary uses for Calcite is for construction uses to create cement or concrete

mineral found in almost all sulfide deposits‚ chalcopyrite usually occurs in medium-temperature and high-temperature hydrothermal veins in igneous rocks or metamorphosed igneous rocks. Some economic chalcopyrite deposits form as hydrothermal fluids dissolve copper from igneous rocks and then precipitate it in surrounding contact-metamorphosed sedimentary rocks. Chalcopyrite is most often found with pyrite and other sulfide minerals‚ as well as sphalerite‚ galena‚ dolomite‚ tourmaline or quartz. It can

depression. It is located at the contact between cretaceous and Eocene deposits. One of the early geologic works was carried out by Ball and Beadnell (1903). They produce a topographical- geological map of the oasis and discuss the stratigraphy of the rock exposed. They distinguished three topographic features; the bounding escarpments; the conical hills within the depression and the oasis floor. They notice that the southern scarp is steeper than the northern scarp. The eastern scarp has smooth outline

Introduction Franklinian basin is one of the oldest basins in North America. It is a passive margin basin in arctic Canada that extends from northeast Canada to North Greenland (Ineson‚ 1988). The origin of Franklinian basin has not been extensively studied‚ but some authors (Miall & Blakey‚ 2008; Henriksen & Higgins‚ 1998) suggested a late Precambrian origin which began with the rifting of Rodinia (a supercontinent) about 700 Ma.
