  • 摘要:

    Rock samples from seven (7) locations (with mountains ranging between 1000-1500m above sea level) of Ditera (Kuba, Laba, Bwara and Batum) and Waltadi (Gbang, Gbang Kolora, & Tewozo) Districts of Song Local Government Area, Adamawa State, Nigeria were investigated for solid minerals and metallic oxides. X-ray diffraction spectrophotometer used in the identification of the solid minerals revealed the presence quartz, albite and phlogopite in Kuba, quartz, albite, rutile and fluorannite in Laba, marshite, covellite, otavite, quartz and calcite in Bwara, quartz, oyelite, covellite and tenorite in Batum, barite alone in Gbang, quartz, covellite, ulvospinel, montmorillonite, rutile, and marshite in Gbang Kolora, and found in Tewozo were; quartz covellite, albite and marshite. Of the thirteen different minerals identified in these locations, quartz is the most dominantly present. Further investigation in which the rock samples were analyzed for their constituent major and minor oxides using X-ray fluorescence spectrophotometer also revealed the presence of some oxides which both qualitatively and quantitatively confirmed the presence of the solid minerals in the rock samples analyzed.
