Abstract

Rock Type : Sedimentary Rock
Rock Formation : Kinta Limestone
Origin : Gunung Kanthan, Chemor, Perak
Age: Devonian - Carboniferous (420 - 299 million years ago)

* Gunung Kanthan is one of the many limestone hills in the Kinta Valley. The hill is located in Chemor, the northern part of the Kinta Valley. It is an active quarry which provides raw materials for cement plants.

* Both limestone and dolomite can be found in the quarry. The limestones form karst morphology e.g. caves, as well as reprecipitate to form calcite crystals.

* The geology of Kanthan Limestone is rooted in its formation as sedimentary rock, originating from the gradual accumulation of marine sediments rich in calcium carbonate on the ancient seabed. Over millions of years, these sediments then hardened and solidified through geological processes.

* Geological forces, including tectonic movements and pressure, further transformed the marine sediments into solidified limestone.

* Marble can come in various colors, including darker shades, due to the presence of different minerals or impurities during its formation such as organic matter.
