General Geology of Kijal area in Terengganu with emphasize on Characterization of Carbonaceous Slate

Kijal area is located on the southern part of Terengganu, where Sungai Perlis Beds are exposed on the surface. Sungai Perlis Bed that consists of metasediments, such as slate, carbonaceous slate and quartzite has been found in the study area. Granite, which might be a part of the Eastern Granite...
