Overall, a total of 22 phyla were detected, and the Kaklık Cave displayed the highest abundance of Proteobacteria (78.60%), Actinobacteria (71.60%), Cyanobacteria (72.40%) and Bacteriodetes (11.10%). The relative abundance of archaeal was dominated by Euryarchaeota (24.70%), while the archaeal community exhibited a low abundance of Thaumarchaeota (1.40%). According to the mechanical parameters of current travertine deposition, the travertine deposits on slope surfaces of terraces (ATA2), the side wall of the cave (ATA6) and the terraced pool (ATA1) had high strength values. Also, the calcite composition of these travertines was verified by FESEM analysis. A total of 22, 31 and 33 families were characterized in ATA2, ATA1, and ATA6, respectively. Current travertine deposition on the ceiling environment (ATA3, ATA4 and ATA5) has the lowest strength and, the anhydrite (CaSO₄) and bassanite (CaSO₄.1/2H₂O) were detected in these travertines. The relative abundance of the Proteobacteria phylum in the high-strength and calcite-containing samples was 67.20%, 78.60% and 49.90% respectively.

The karst collapse dolines exhibit distinct features delineating two zones with differing collapse mechanisms. In the Doukkala plain, the formation of collapse dolines is primarily driven by fluctuating water table levels influenced by annual rainfall variations. This impacts underground voids and hydrostatic stability, particularly during seasonal wet-dry cycles. In contrast, collapse dolines in the Sahel zone result from intense rainfall and rapid erosion, enlarging underground voids and triggering collapse phenomena. The analysis of their distribution related to tectonic lineaments shows two main directions: one N-S along the Sahel, corresponding to the region’s fault lines, and another NE-SW in the Doukkala plain, influenced by faults controlling surface flows.

The lower unit A, measuring 125 m, consists of thin to thick-bedded limestone interspersed with marl and gypsum beds. The upper unit B, spanning 110 m, is marked by alternating layers of fossiliferous marl, limestone, and dolostone. Detailed field surveys and microfacies analysis led to the identification of eight microfacies types within the formation. These microfacies correspond to three primary depositional environments: tidal flat, lagoon, and shoal. This variety in microfacies and environments indicates significant changes in depositional depth and energy conditions during the formation’s development. The overall depositional setting of the Bourzal Formation is interpreted as a homoclinal ramp, specifically the inner ramp zone. This interpretation is based on the observed facies associations and their vertical relationships.

The work was achieved through an integrated approach of outcrop observations and microfacies analysis using polarizing microscopy. The study reveals the presence of sixteen microfacies types grouped into six facies associations, representing a mixed clastics-carbonates ramp setting. The ramp facies belts consist of a back ramp restricted mudflat/supratidal flat and lagoon, protected and low-energy inner ramp, open inner ramp, carbonate shoal, and open middle/outer ramp. The cycles commonly start with open inner ramp carbonate facies and end with mudflat clastic facies/subaerial exposure surfaces. The vertical changes in the depositional environments indicate that the facies were deposited within a highly tectonic active area that was consequently influenced by the transgression and regression of the Tethys. Microscopic features of subaerial exposure, including <i>Microcodium</i> crystal aggregates, <i>crystallaria</i>, rhizoliths, <i>Stromatolite</i>-like structures, sheet cracks, fenestrae, microbial mat laminae and dissolution of bioclasts, commonly occur in the topmost part of the cycles. The documented microfabric features in the study area provide strong evidence of the regular emergence of the southern Tethys platform in Egypt during the Late Eocene.

The studied stalactite exhibits distinct morphological features: an upper main body with visible growth layers and dissolution channels, and a lower pendant made of solid sparite calcite crystals. The outer surface of the main body exhibits partial dissolution corrosion and protrusion-like structures resulting from channel infilling resisting corrosion. Notably, the pendant section of the stalactite remains largely unaffected by the dissolution, preserving its original structure. The longitudinal cross-section of the main body reveals dissolution channels along the growth layer's surface, partially filled with calcite cement. Secondary channels branch off the main channels, some connected to the outer surface at certain points, allowing cave water to enter. The dissolution processes also lead to microscale changes in the primary microfabrics, including the widening of intercrystalline pores, microperforated zones, microchannels, rhombohedral microcrystalline blocks, spiky calcite, pits, and abiotic micritization. The recurring dissolution features inside the stalactite indicate synchronous dissolution during stalactite formation, where the precipitation/dissolution conditions repeat cyclically.

It is imperative to assess the potential of the exposed Abbottabad Formation as a hydrocarbon reservoir, particularly in anticlinal structure (Tatta Pani), within the Kashmir Basin. The Abbottabad Formation, which is bounded by unconformities, consists of dolomite-chert interbeds (LA-1), stromatolitic dolomite (LA-2), and ankerite (LA-3) lithofacies. Petrographic analysis reveals three microfacies: fine crystalline dolomite (MF-I), algal mat-stromatolitic dolomite (MF-II), and ankerite (MF-III). Different features contribute to the reservoir characteristics of the formation, including fenestral and moldic structures, tidal channels, chopboard fractures, intergranular, and vuggy/karst porosities found within dolomite and dolomitic limestone. Additionally, intense structural deformation further enhances the reservoir qualities of the formation. X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy have revealed the existence of distinct minerals in different facies. MF-I contains chalcedony, chlorite, pyrite, hematite, and siderite. Chalcedony denotes silica substitution, chlorite shows hydrothermal alteration, and pyrite implies anoxic conditions and rapid precipitation. MF-II suggests a connection between high biological production and development of algal mats. MF-III provides insight into the alteration processes and interactions between ankerite- and manganese-rich hydrothermal solutions. The Abbottabad Formation, originating from the Proto-Tethys Ocean at the start of the Cambrian, displays coarsening upward sediment layers and common dissolution and cementation.

To effectively address this issue, in this work, the major trace and rare earth elements were analysed to characterize their sources and formation environments. From their major geochemistry results, it was proven that the Lanling BIF is mainly composed of SiO₂ + Fe₂O₃^T with small amounts of Al₂O₃, MnO, K₂O, CaO, MgO, Na₂O, P₂O₅, and TiO₂. After performing Post-Archean Australian Shale (PAAS) normalization, according to rare earth elements (REE) and yttrium (Y) (REE + Y = REY) analyses, it was demonstrated that light rare earths are depleted. On the contrary, heavy rare earths are enriched. In addition, La, Eu, and Y are positive anomalies, while Ce is a slightly negative anomaly. According to the REE geochemistry and REE-related parameters analyses, it was extracted that the ore-forming materials of Lanling BIF were mainly derived from the mixture of seawater and hydrothermal materials. Moreover, the formation of deposits is closely associated with seafloor hydrothermal fluids. Additionally, based on the negative Ce anomalies and REY characteristics, it was speculated that BIF formed in reducing conditions in Lanling.

In this study, by carefully examining geological reservoir zones (GRZs) in three wells in the central (wells A and B) and northern (well C) Persian Gulf, in terms of facies changes, sedimentary environment, diagenesis and sequence stratigraphy, it is possible to determine the reservoir quality by considering the reservoir heterogeneity.
