A microscopic study was done on five samples from the current beach sand at Ra’asShimra beach in order to identify their Foraminifera content and the abundance of the species relative to each other. The micropaleontology analysis showed that the majo
rity of the 17 specified types live on the bottom in shallow marine waters at moderate to hot temperatures. The abundance of the species was noticed in the benthic species such as: Amphistegina, Textularia, and peneroplis, which indicates the availability of suitable environmental conditions for the prosperity of these species, which is close to the current conditions. The samples of sand studied are characterized by their being disjointed, small to medium in size, varying in color, and rich in organic remains, mainly the remains of molluscs, in addition to oval marine-originated stones that vary in size. The X.R.D analysis showed the presence of two phases: a major calcareous phase, and a secondary quartz phase. The study of the thin rock slides taken from rocks located in the region, which can be considered as the source rocks of sand in the study area, showed that it is a sandy limestone.
This research studies the economic importance of lower Cretaceous
clay deposits of South Palmyra folding zone. This study carried out
using appropriate research methods. The Palmyra sand formation,
which includes clays deposits, has divided into t
hree units depending
on its lithological facies. Its chemical and mineral composition and
physical properties had identified, it is mostly of Kaolinite, Illite, Quartz
and other secondary minerals.
The idea of spatial interpolation stands of great importance depending on the accuracy of
estimated (Hydrogeological) parameters of this area, which reduces excessive efforts to
reach the best Hydrogeological model of the region with as little as p
ossible, thus reducing
the overall cost of the project.
The studied area is located within the Sin plain (the southern part of the JABLEH plain).
A free layer of water, ranging between 1m and 30m in thickness.
The study relied on groundwater level data, soil thickness and type in 339 wells.
The importance of this research Lies in mapping the best spatial distribution of
characteristics using spatial statistical methods
The aim of the research is to estimate the Coefficient of Permeability of the aquifer layer
and its effective thickness using the two methods of spatial statistics methods (Kriging and
IDW) for Hydrogeological parameters in the southern part of the Jableh plain.
