Abstract
This study was about the geology and petrography of igneous rock at Panggung Lalat, Gua Musang in south Kelantan with coordinate of latitude ranges from 4 52 30 N to 4 54 30 N and longitude from 101 50 00 E to 101 53 30 E. The purpose of the research is to produce an updated version of geological map with ratio 1: 25 000 and to identify characteristic of igneous rock based on the petrography. The method that was used in general geology was traversing and rock sampling while for igneous rock petrography were thin section and x- ray fluorescence (XRF). The rock samples that been collected are limestone, gyranite, sandstone and shale. The granite that presence in study area is identified as Monzogranite and Quartz- Rich Granite. Both of the granite samples contain the highest SiO2 concentration. Results from this study can contribute to the fundamental geology knowledge of the study area and become reference for future researchers.
