Abstract

Earlier studies on the geology of the Krol Belt in general have included little detailed information pertaining to the petrology and mineralogy of the Krol Group. The work reported herein represents a part of a comprehensive petrological study of the Krol Formations and provides information mainly about the petrology and probable environment of deposition of the basal unit of the Krol Group, namely the Krol sandstone, that overlies the Infra-Krols.
