PETROGRAPHIC AND STABLE ISOTOPE ANALYSIS OF CARBONATITE SAMPLES OF THE NEWANIA CARBONATITE COMPLEX

Abstract

This thesis presents a detailed petrological and mineralogical study of the Newania Carbonatite Complex. The work involves thin section analysis to document mineral assemblages, textures, and alteration features. Additionally, stable isotope analysis using C¹³ and O¹⁸ ratios has been employed to infer insights into the origin and evolutionary processes of the complex.
