    Geochemistry and Tectonic Setting of Cretaceous Sediments from Al Bauga Area, Bayuda Desert, River Nile State, Sudan
    (2015-02) Elzien, Hamed, B.O S.M.; Farah, Al-Imam, O.A.O A.A; Mohamed, Kheiralla. K.M A. A; Hussein, A.H
    Geochemistry; major and trace elements of Al Bauga sediments have been investigated to understand their provenance and tectonic setting. The tectonic discriminant diagrams placed the majority of Al Bauga sediments within the passive margin setting. These sediments generally, are enrich in SiO2 and depleted in K2O and Na2O. The discriminant function diagram of major elements, the enrichment of Zr, Th, La and lack of V, Co and Ni indicate that the source area of most of Al Bauga sediments are felsic provenance.
