Claystone beds exposed in the Mukdadiyah (Lower Bakhtiyary) and Injana (Upper Fars) Formations at Taq Taq in the Kurdistan Region-North of Iraq will be used in this study for Ceramic Industry. The estimation of qualitative variation of Clay beds is dependent on the chemical, physical, and mechanical properties of the ceramics industry. The clayston...

The geochemical characteristics and origin of Lower Jurassic dolomites from the Sarki and Sehkaniyan formations in the Imbricated Zone of Northern Iraq were investigated through analysis of major, trace, and rare earth elements, as well as stable isotopes (carbon and oxygen). The consistent CaO and MgO contents, their positive correlation, and elev...

This research investigates the radioactivity levels of various rock types used in construction within the Kurdistan region and assesses their potential impact on human health, the measurements were performed using an HPGe gamma-ray spectrometer. The measured activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K radionuclides varied from ND (Chromitite)...

The isotopic evolution of δ13C and δ18O was reported on bulk carbonate samples from the Jurassic succession at the Imbricated Zone, Northern Iraq, and correlated with the coeval sections of global records. The δ13C curves of the current study and global records display some similar patterns especially through the early and middle Jurassic. The more...

Chromitite pods hosted by serpentinized harzburgites of the Rayat ophiolite in the Zagros suture tectonic zone, northeasten Iraq, were studied petrographically and geochemically. These chromitites comprise high-Cr podiform ophiolitic chromite deposit and consist of magesiochromite in a matrix dominated by serpentine with minor carbonate minerals. T...

The Middle–Late Jurassic formations are regarded to be an important source rock in the Jurassic petroleum system of North Iraq. The major and trace element analysis on the Middle and Late Jurassic shales in the Imbricated Zone, Iraq was analyzed. This study investigated the shales provenance and depositional environment, in addition to evaluate the...

The objective of the current study is to assess the soil contamination caused by a steel factory to the surrounding areas in Erbil city. The highest value of all metals (with the exception of Al) was observed in the Erbil Steel Company (E.S.C.). The mean concentration of heavy metals followed this pattern: Fe > Al > Zn > Mn > Ti > Pb > Cu > Ni > Cr...
