“…Granite rocks in the mining area generally consist of two types, namely the coarse-grained granite and fine-grained granite (Chong 1970). Mineral composition in both type of granites are similar which show the presence of quartz, feldspar and plagioclase; biotite and muscovite occur as accessory minerals (Ghani et al 2018). Shale was the most dominant rock as iron are mostly occurred in this rock.…”

Geotourism is a responsible and sustainable type of tourism package development, equivalent to ecotourism, and other nature-based derivatives of tourism with deeper level considerations on local landscapes and the underlying geological foundation. The area was investigated from the perspective of tourism geoscience sub-discipline with a focus on nonextractive natural resources. Taking into consideration the beach alluvial plain, human community, the biophysical components and the mining artifacts, mineralization, geological formation, mining history and people lifestyle during the active mining period. Bukit Besi's rail transit system as example, with eleven stations, used to transport people, goods and ores between Bukit Besi and a coastal town of Dungun. Geology of Bukit Besi consist of dominance of shale, quartzite, limestone; intrusion rocks of granite and quartz vein, and metasediment rock. Iron mineralization occurs as a result of replacement in shale, limestone, granite and along the developed fractures. Further study relates the interconnection between iron mineralization and cultural of the residents. Mineralization had created the mining operation in Bukit Besi. History of mining process, life of Bukit Besi residents and railway is part of intrinsic information that make higher value of monument left in Bukit Besi in tourism context. Historical narration of the mining region goes beyond events related to human time frame but spans the geological history of the regions and the story of interactions between human and their environments. These form the basis for the creation of anthrobiogeoasset for regional planning of the region. Secondary utilization of the non-extractive natural resource should incorporate tourism and business components for sustainable geotourism package development of Bukit Besi, Malaysia ABSTRAK Geopelancongan adalah sejenis pembangunan pakej pelancongan yang bertanggungjawab dan mampan, setara dengan ekopelancongan dan pelancongan berasaskan alam semula jadi dengan pertimbangan tahap yang lebih mendalam terhadap landskap tempatan dan asas geologi yang mendasarinya. Kawasan ini dikaji daripada perspektif sub-disiplin geosains pelancongan dengan tumpuan kepada sumber alam bukan ekstraktif, dengan mengambil kira kawasan pantai, komuniti manusia, komponen biofizikal dan artifak perlombongan, permineralan, formasi batuan, sejarah perlombongan dan gaya hidup penduduk semasa tempoh perlombongan aktif. Sistem transit kereta Bukit Besi antaranya, dengan sebelas stesen, pernah digunakan untuk mengangkut orang, barang dan bijih di antara Bukit Besi dan Dungun. Geologi Bukit Besi terdiri daripada dominasi syal, kuarza, batu kapur; batu intrusi granit dan telerang kuarza dan batuan metasedimen. Pembentukan mineral besi adalah akibat penggantian syal, batu kapur dan granit di sepanjang rekahan yang terbentuk. Kajian lanjut menunjukkan hubung kait yang rapat antara pemineralan bijih besi dengan budaya penduduk. Pemineralan telah membentuk operasi perlombongan di Bukit Besi. Sejarah, proses perlom...

“…6). Positive Ce anomalies in the soils, compared to none to slightly negative Ce anomalies in the Puerto Rico bedrock, are documented in other granitoid soils forming in humid and tropical climates (e.g., Ghani et al, 2019). The enrichment of Ce in the soil samples is likely due to the change from Ce 3+ to Ce 4+ due to oxidizing conditions, which is more stable and can be retained by clay minerals which are likely abundant in the Puerto Rico soils indicated by the grain size and Al-enrichment (Ghani et al, 2019).…”

The origin and production of silt are key factors in the formation of loess deposits. Although many processes can potentially lead to silt generation, few are known to produce silt in the volumes and particle-size modes required to form geologically significant loess deposits. Here we investigate the hypothesis that pedogenic weathering in tropical and Mediterranean climates can generate abundant in situ silt, and therefore contribute significantly to loess formation throughout geologic time. We utilize granulometric and geochemical data from soils formed in Puerto Rico (hot-humid) and Southern California (hot-arid) to discern whether the mud fraction (<62.5 μm) is generated from bedrock (autochthonous) or sourced from eolian contributions (allochthonous). Our study demonstrates that the Puerto Rico soil contains abundant (up to 72%) silt- and clay-sized grains compared to the Anza Borrego soil (<6%). However, the silt fraction of the Puerto Rico soil is at least partially derived from eolian inputs, and the silt fraction of the Anza Borrego soil is geochemically indistinguishable from allochthonous dust sources. Furthermore, while intense chemical weathering in a tropical climate can produce abundant fines, the majority are significantly finer (average mode ~15 µm) than the modes of most “typical” loess deposits (modes more than 20 – 30 µm). In contrast, weathering in Mediterranean climates produces volumetrically sparse silt. Hence, pedogenic weathering in hot climates appears to be ineffectual for producing the volume and size distributions of silt-sized material needed to generate significant loess deposits.

“…In PR, the REE observations and patterns from the silt + clay fractions of the soil samples include overall depleted REE abundance (both LREE and HREE), positive Ce anomalies, and more intense negative Eu anomalies (Figure 6). Positive Ce anomalies in the soil, compared to none to slightly negative Ce anomalies in the PR bedrock, are documented in other granitoid soils forming in humid and tropical climates (e.g., Ghani et al, 2019). The enrichment of Ce in the soil samples is likely due to the change from Ce 3+ to Ce 4+ due to oxidizing conditions, which is more stable and can be retained by clay minerals which are likely abundant in the PR soils indicated by the grain size and Al-enrichment (Ghani et al, 2019).…”
