Preservation of Marine Chemical Signatures in Upper Devonian Carbonates of Kinta Valley, Peninsular Malaysia: Implications for Chemostratigraphy
The Kinta Limestone is an important Silurian to Permian age unit in the Western Belt of Peninsular Malaysia. Diagenetic alteration and thermal alteration, owing to adjacent igneous intrusion, have obscured many primary sedimentary features and primary geochemistry of the Kinta Limestone. Petrogra...

| Summary: | The Kinta Limestone is an important Silurian to Permian age unit in the Western
Belt of Peninsular Malaysia. Diagenetic alteration and thermal alteration, owing to adjacent
igneous intrusion, have obscured many primary sedimentary features and primary
geochemistry of the Kinta Limestone. Petrographic and geochemical analyses indicate,
however, that some locations of this unit may contain textural and chemical indicators of
primary marine properties. |
