Figure 1

Geological map of Nigeria. Box indicates the study area.

Figure 2

Section of the Lokoja Formation exposed at Okumi, along the Lokoja-Abuja Highway.

Figure 3

Section of the Patti Formation exposed near the Agbaja Plateau along Lokoja – Agbaja road. The capping rock (uppermost section) in this outcrop is the lower unit of Agbaja Ironstone Formation.
