Major, trace and rare earth element (REE) compositions of upper Proterozoic metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks from the Tsaliet and Tembien Groups in the Werri district of northern Ethiopia were determined to examine their tectonic setting of eruption, provenance and source area weathering condi
The N-S trending Tuludimtu Belt in the extreme west of Ethiopia has been subdivided into five lithotectonic domains, from east to west, the Didesa, Kemashi, Dengi, Sirkole and Daka domains. The Kemashi, Dengi and Sirkole Domains, forming the core of the belt, contain volcano-sedimentary successions,
The Adigrat Sandstone in northern Ethiopia was sampled for chemical and mineralogical analysis. The samples were analysed for major elements, rare earth and other trace elements by XRF and ICP-MS. The mineralogy was studied using petrographic microscopes and XRD. The results were used to infer the p
