This study is concerned with geochemical analysis of major oxides; these are SiO2, CaO, MgO, Fe2O3, Al2O3, Na2O, K2O, TiO2, in addition to MnO. Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer and Ultra Violet Spectrophotometer tools were used to examine ten samples represented the detritus LOI sediments of Injana Formation in Iraq in two sites which are (S1) site at Dohuk Governorate and (S2) at Al-Najaf Governorate; where five samples for each sites were collected.
