PROVENANCE STUDY ON SANDSTONE OF KATI FORMATION

Kati Formation is composed of rocks of Upper Paleozoic age. It is located in mainly around of Kuala Kangsar and extends further south to Seri Iskandar. This research is to analyze and figure out the origin of the Kati Formation sandstones. Preliminary study on the three outcrops has been selected fo...
