Geology and Natural Resources of Nigeria is an up‐to‐date and comprehensive overview of the geological framework of the continental crust of Nigeria, its evolution, and the natural resources it holds. It covers a wide set of topics and provides a detailed description of the rock units of the Nigerian continental crust, their geological settings and structural characteristics, and the potential of their mineral, energy, and water resources. The book discusses the impact of geo‐resources on the Nigerian economy, includes recommendations on how to fully exploit geo‐resources, and explains how to prevent geological processes that could lead to natural hazards. FEATURES Provides different aspects of the Nigerian continental crust from a multidisciplinary approach Draws on the latest findings in geoscience research to present new insights and perspectives into the development and resource potential of the Nigerian continental crust Includes multiple case studies to illustrate the exploration and evaluation of the geological resources of Nigeria Explores the potential of geological resources for economic and industrial development Presents scientific achievements of authors and researchers from various disciplines and provides recommendations for mitigating natural hazards This handbook is intended for industry professionals, academics, researchers, and students studying earth sciences with a special interest in Africa and learning how its geology impacts the natural resources and overall economy of the continent.
Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2019 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Geology, Mineralogy, Soil Science, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (APPLIED GEOLOGY), course: ECONOMIC GEOLOGY/MINERAL EXPLORATION, language: English, abstract: The study area received less attention from earlier workers which they consider the rocks as older granites that were barren, but according to this research work the rocks were found to be among the metamorphic terrain specifically migmatite rocks formed as part of northeastern Nigerian basement complex rocks which was affected by series of orogenic cycles that undergoes regional metamorphism and intrusion of younger granite rocks occurred sporadically in the study area. Detailed field mapping and sampling was done in order to identify and record the physical features of the rocks. Petrographic studies were conducted in both plane polarised light and cross polarised light in which microscopic structures were identified and noted. Field investigations and petrographic studies reveal that the rocks in the study area are metamorphic rocks based on certain structures observed, some of the structures include ptygmatic folding, crenulation cleavage, pinch and swell, andulus extinction and pleuchroic halo which are characteristics of metamorphic rocks. Therefore, the area was found to be underlaid by migmatite rocks which were classified as banded orthogneiss, straumalitic, and nebulitic migmatites and some intrusion of younger granites. Tin, tantalite, tourmaline and corundum mineralization were inferred.
