Ali and Diana A. Bayiz}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {14 mudstone samples were collected within the sedimentary succession of Mukdadiya Formation (Late Miocene – Early Pliocene) from Shewasoor area at Northeastern Iraq. The samples were subjected to laboratory studies including mineralogical analysis (using X-ray Diffraction technique) in order to identify the clay mineralogy of Mukdadiya Formation of both clay and non-clay minerals. The results of non-clay minerals are: quartz, feldspar and carbonate (calcite and dolomite) minerals. The clay minerals are: montmorillonite, kaolinite, palygorskite, chlorite, and illite by the major basal reflections of each mineral. The origins of these minerals are deduced also. }, journal = {International Journal of Geological and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {4}, year = {2016}, pages = {433 - 438}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10004173}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/112}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 112, 2016}, }
