| Abstract | ||
| Ninivite is a new sedimentary rock type that forms a belt with a maximum width of six kilometers attached to the eastern bank of the river Tigris. Many other occurrences of this rock type are recorded in Guwair, Salymia, Humaira, Hawi Aslan and Zanquba villages, where it is normally found within Fatha and Injana Formations in different stratingraphic levels as well as the Tigris river terraces. The origin of this rock type is related primarily to paleo and recent hydrogeological regime of the Tigris River, although part of the studied localities are located on the Greater Zab. The new occurrences of Ninivite recorded in this work, along Guwair anticline adds a new evidence for the structural control on the formation and distribution of Ninivite. It is suggested here that the existence of ninivite in Guwair anticline is due to the probable deep seated faults controlled by block basement activation. This structural line extends from Guwair anticline to Zanquba village passing through Mosul and probably further northwest to Wana village. Other new occurrences were recorded in Mosul 'within the Tigris river channel', on Missrage anticline, in the western side of the Tigris river within the old qurray of Badosh cement factory and finally in the rock quarry near Babneat village. | ||
