General geology and petrography of sedimentary rock at Kg. Keroh, Kuala Krai, Kelantan
A geological study which includes lithology, structural, texture, geomorphology, stratigraphy and petrography of sedimentary rock were studied at Kg. Keroh, Kuala Krai. The geological information at the study area was very limited. Therefore, this study was conducted to renew the geological informat...
