Sedimentological and geochemical evaluation of sandstones of the Ilaro formation, Dahomey Basin, Southwestern Nigeria : Insights into paleoenvironments, provenance, and tectonic settings

Sedimentological and geochemical evaluation of sandstones of the Ilaro formation, Dahomey Basin, Southwestern Nigeria : Insights into paleoenvironments, provenance, and tectonic settings

Grain size analysis, geochemistry, and petrography of sandstones of the Ilaro Formation exposed at the Ajegunle area were investigated to infer provenance, transportation history, tectonic setting, paleoenvironment, and degree of palaeoweathering of the sediments. Selected sandstones were analyzed,...
