Abstract

Kinta Valley was a main producer of tin-ore in the world around 1876 to 1950. The crystalline limestone is one of the sedimentary rocks here. Mostly of them is been quarried for magnesium oxide, marble and construction materials for the needs of industry domestically or internationally. The limestone here became the interest of people due to its potential to create industrial materials. The crystalline limestone is one of the sedimentary rocks in the limestone hills. This research is conducted to investigate the impact of dolomitization around Kinta Valley in terms of sedimentology and petrography especially in northern part of Sungai Siput, Perak. The research was divided in two phases; first phase focused on general geology. The second phase focused on laboratory analysis and other studies to get insight of the dolomitization process. The results showed facies types, presence of dolomitization, FTIR graph, SEM photo and EDS results.
