Phuket is located in a humid tropical region with frequent heavy rainstorms and extended periods of high temperatures and is composed of two main distinct geological areas: (1) igneous rock and...

The geology of Thailand includes deep crystalline metamorphic basement rocks, overlain by extensive sandstone, limestone, turbidites and some volcanic rocks. The region experienced complicated tectonics during the Paleozoic, long-running shallow water conditions and then renewed uplift and erosion in the past several million years ago. [1]

... main aims of the present study are to sys- tematically examine lithofacies of the diamictite- bearing sequence in Phuket and adjacent islands, interpret the depositional environments of the...

2009年5月1日 · The Phuket Group is the oldest rock unit in the Phuket-Takua Pa-Krabi region of the Thai Peninsula. The Group comprises two Formations: a Lower Formation of Ordovician, or possibly Cambrian, to Lower Permian age, exceeding 3 km in thickness, and an Upper Formation of early Permian age between 100 and 200m thick.

1993年1月1日 · This paper presents the geology of the granites and their associated Sn Ta mineralization of the Phuket, Phangnga and Takua Pa tin-field, southern Thailand. The tin-field was producing more than half of all tin mined in Thailand. During 1961 to 1990, more than 400,000 long tons of tin concentrates were produced from this district.

2011年5月27日 · Map of Thailand showing the main Cenozoic tectonic features, with a graph illustrating the changing timing from north (at the top) to south (at the bottom) of the country.

eastern part of peninsular Thailand comprises Lower Palaeozoic rocks of quite different facies from the Phuket Group: deltaic deposits (Jones, 1968) overlain by the Thung Song Limestone. And yet the succeeding group of Middle Devonian (Kobayashi & Hamada, 1968) to Permo-Carboniferous age has lithological similarities with the

2015年7月4日 · Structural Geology. Complex synclinal structures have been found in the Paleozoic rock in particular the Phuket Group. The trendnd of syncline / anti cline varies from N-S to NE-SW. Limestones clearly show folding structures and no rock younger than the Permian Limestone has been found ontop of these synclines (except colluvium).

Consideration of existing isotopic data suggests that the Phuket Supersuite may have originated via partial melting of a mafic to intermediate meta-igneous source of probable Proterozoic age. These source rocks had evolved to relatively high 87 Sr/ 86 Sr by the Cretaceous and were capable of yielding partial melts with 86 Sr/ 87 Sr initial ...
