Geochemical characterisation of clastic sediments in Kompina (N'kapa Formation, NW Douala Basin, West Cameroon): Implication for provenance, paleoweathering and sediment maturity

Geochemical characterisation of clastic sediments in Kompina (N'kapa Formation, NW Douala Basin, West Cameroon): Implication for provenance, paleoweathering and sediment maturity

Chemical analyses were carried out on clastic sedimentary rocks in Kompina (N'kapa Formation of the NW, Douala Basin, West Africa) to disclosed the composition of their source rock, characterised their tectonic domains, decipher the intensity of the past weathering, sedimentary cycles and matur...
