Diagenetic history of the chuping limestone at Bukit Tungku lembu, Perlis, Malaysia
Noorhashima Binti Adenan1, Che Aziz Ali2, Kamal Roslan Mohamed3.
The Early Permian to Late Triassic limestone of Chuping Formation in Bukit Tungku Lembu consists of six microfacies
and exhibits various types of diagenetic products, reflecting it’s complicated diagenetic history. Out of 89 samples
collected for petrographic studies, six major microfacies have been identified, namely brecciated limestone, dolomites,
mudstones, wackestones, packstones and grainstones. Four major diagenetic processes comprising micritization,
cementation, compaction and dolomitization have also been identified. Micritization occurs as the first phase diagenesis
after the sediments were deposited on the sea floor, followed by cementation in the marine environment and also in
meteoric environments when the shallow marine carbonate at some points in time was subjected to subaerial exposure.
Early burial were indicated by fractures and deformation as well as destruction of grains whole structure. Increasing
pressure during deeper burial has produced dissolution seams and stylolites. Dolomitization also occurred in the deeper
burial environments
