Diagenetic history of the Chuping Limestone at Bukit Tungku Lembu, Perlis, Malaysia

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...
