SCOPE OF STUDY
Black Shale from Kubang Pasu Formation in Northwest Peninsular Malaysia
Mainly focused on mineralogical and geochemical compositions of these black shale
Structural zone of Peninsular Malaysia (Foo, 1983)
Summary of stratigraphic nomenclature of Nortwest PM (Hassan et al , 2014)
Problem Statements
Black shale is a fine- grained dark coloured sedimentary rock rich in organic
matter (Meyers & Mitterer, 1986)
Usually deposited in brackish water or marine deep environment. However,
Schlanger & Jenkyns (1976) suggest that it can formed in range of shallow to
deep aquatic environment
Require abundant sources of organic matter deposited in anoxic environment
(Ozaki et al, 2011)
Accumulation of black shale are controlled by geological process (Tourtelot,
1979)
Shale consists of clay and non- clay minerals. Its constituent are controlled by
depositional environment under which they are deposited.
Preservation of organic matter controlled by:-
Peninsular Malaysia can be divided into Western, Central, and Eastern belt.
Western belt was further divided into North-western Zone (Foo, 1983)
Eastern Belt consist of east of Malay Peninsular until Eastern part of Johor. Mostly
underlain by clastic and volcanic Carboniferous Permian sediments.
Central zone bordered on the west by Main Range Granite and Lower Paleozoic
sediments of Bentong Group. Predominantly underlain by Permian- Triassic
clastic, limestones and volcanic
