SEDIMENTOLOGY AND STRATIGRAPHY OF SEMANGGOL FORMATION, POKOK SENA AREA, KEDAH

Semanggol formation has been classified as Permian-Triassic sedimentary rocks that are present from northern border of Kedah southwards to North of Perak. It have been established that Semanggol formation in northwestern Peninsular can be subdivided into Chert, Rhythmite and Conglomerate member. Pre...
