Sea beaches are always a good source of heavy minerals around the world. Cox's Bazar has 120 km of unbroken sandy sea beach. The study includes the sea beaches of 5 upazilas (Moheshkhali, Kolatoli, Ramu, Ukhia, Teknaf) in Cox's bazaar district for studying the concentration, identification and investigation of heavy mineral deposits along the sandy beaches. This study has concentrated on the physical properties, identification, and abundance of the heavy minerals fraction in sediments collected from the study area. Satellite imagery Landsat-8 OLI was used for remote sensing verifications. The image processing and crucial analysis carried out using Environment for Visualizing Images (ENVI), Arc GIS and Erdas Imagine software. Coastal areas adjacent to Teknaf upazila has a very significant amount of heavy mineral reserves, almost 16%. The study has identified around nineteen variety of heavy minerals from the collected samples in the study area. Ilmenite, Kyanite, Garnet, Rutile, Zircon, Magnetite, Augite, Hornblende, Enstatite, Epidote, Andalusite, Hypersthene, Diopside and Cassiterite have been found the most abundant in the entire study area. The Coastline of Bangladesh was surveyed completely to map the heavy minerals which are potential resources for our national economy.

This report involves discovering the dynamic interaction between various geological scenarios regarding St. Martin’s Island, which were evaluated through a number of modern and traditional exploration techniques from various branches of geoscience. It concerns with outcome of the integrated fieldwork in St. Martin’s Island conducted by 4th year undergraduate students and several faculty members of Department of Geology, University of Dhaka.

Field Report on Saint Martin's Island
Musfirat N I Tahiti
Geological field work was carried out on the Saint Martin’s Island. This field report contains different geological information gathered during the field work in the island and later in the laboratory. This field report is the result of all the scientific evidences collected during the field work. This report contains the detailed report of geological, geomorphological, elevation and hydrogeological condition of the Saint Martin’s island. Due to complex hydrogeological settings influenced by regional geological settings and being surrounded by sea on all sides, the development potential of the water sources is very limited. The Saint Martin’s Island is the only Coral Bearing Offshore Island of Bangladesh. This tiny island in the Bay of Bengal is located about 10 km south from the south-easternmost tip of the mainland and lies between 20o30’ & 20o39’ N latitude and 92o18’ & 92o21’ E longitude. The main island is dumbbell in shape and is divided in four parts: Uttarpara, Galachipa, Dakshinpara and Chera Dweep. It is app. 8 km long in north and minimum of 100 m at the middle near Galachipa. The area of the island is about 8 sq. km. and the average height is 2.5 m from MSL with the maximum of 6 m high cliff. A sequence of marine sedimentary rocks is exposed on the Island, ranging in age from Late Miocene to Recent. Sandstone, Shale, Conglomerate, Limestone and Concretions are mainly found in this island. St Martin's limestone is composed of molluscan coquina horizons (shelly limestone) and coral clusters (coralline limestone). Several living small coral colonies are found in small sheltered pools very near the low tide level around the island. They also occur in the surrounding shallow sea, mostly growing on the beach rocks and calcareous sandstone concretions. The clearest indication of the Holocene upliftment of the island is the appearance of an emerged 3.0m coquina limestone cliff on the coast of Daskhinpara. It is the continuation of the Indo-Burman Range and uplifted during the marine regression. The rocks are deposited in shallow marine condition and tidal action. The aquifers found in the sandy layers above the bedrock were rich in sodium and bi-carbonate concentrations and bacterial contamination is found. Environmental depletion in St. martin’s island is the main concern which needs to be resolved.

Heavy Mineral Assemblages Of The Beach Sands Of Kuakata, Southern Bangladesh
S.M. Mahbubul Ameen
The present research work deals with the qualitative and quantitative analysis of heavy minerals of the beach sands of the Kuakata area to infer the provenance and tectonic setting of the source area. The heavy mineral assemblages of the Kuakata area are characterized by predominance of garnet followed by hornblende, epidote and opaque minerals. Samples of the study area are also characterized by less amount of monazite, rutile and chloritoid. The heavy mineral data suggest a wide range of sedimentary, metasedimentary, metamorphic as well as granitoid source areas.
