Geochemical Assessment of Charnockitic Rocks in A Localised Area of Ado Ekiti, Nigeria
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Five Charnockitic rock samples were collected from Idemo, Balota community, Ado-Ikere Road, Igirigiri Road and Ado-Ijan Road in Ado Ekiti. The samples were geochemically analysed using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (Unicam 969 model) with a precision of + 0.5. AFM diagram of Na2O+ K2O; MgO and Fe2O3, and plotting of K2O +Na20 versus SiO2 were done. Results of analyses show that the Charnockitic rocks fall within the shoshonitic series of magmatic rocks along the subduction zones. They also belong to the Calc-alkaline rock suite. These rocks can be correlated with ryholite, dacite, andesite and basalt rocks types in New Zealand.
