Abstract:

The field description is used to identify the geological structures and stratigraphic description in the area. The study was chosen in the area of ​​Jabal Quadah, which covers an area of ​​about 59600 m2.This area is a source of industrial raw materials due to the presence of good sedimentary rocks, many of which are the result of the substitution of dolomite rocks.  The Jabal Quadah is located in the Alsabiea area south of the Tripoli city, this study was based on the interpretation of surface sedimentary rocks and geological and structural information in the region. The objective of this study was to evaluate the rocks through the field description and geological mapping. The geological structures and the environmental changes were identified in the formation rocks. A distinction was made between the various rock units in the region and their compatibility with the geological formation that appear in the geological map in terms of boundaries and identification of changes in the facies of these rocks.
