Excerpt

The Bukit Timah Granite is a major rock formation in Singapore. It is divided into two groups, namely Central Singapore Granite and Palau Ubin Granite (DSTA 2009). The Bukit Timah Granite encompasses different rock types such as granite, adamellite and granodiorite with various hybrid rocks. The present study focuses on the Central Singapore Granite found in the Mandai area. Even within this small aerial extent, lithological variations with respect to the composition, texture as well as the grain size have been recognized in this igneous body. …
