Abstract

The aim of this research is to investigate pillow - lava rocks and amper formation, which located ‎in the top of Syrian ophiolite complex. We test about (50) chemical and mineralogical analyses, ‎to find out the concentration, type, and the distribution of these metals and minerals, in the ‎Bassit region in Latakia. This study help to define the petrogenesis of ambers and he's ‎relationship with upper pillow - lava, we thought that amber was formed by the result of some ‎reasons such destruc tion of pillow - lava, or the result of reaction of lava with seawater, or ‎hydrothermal activity of seawater. Addition to define the chemical, and mineralogical ‎composition of them. Also, to define the economic importance of these rocks and black soil. it ‎contain some metals such ( Fe , Mn , Mg ) and some of REE , such ( V , Co , Ni , W , Pb , AS .. )
