1. The document describes a research study on the mineralogical and geochemical characterization of mudrocks from the Neogene succession in Bangladesh. 2. The study will analyze mudrock samples using XRD, XRF, and laser particle size analysis to determine their depositional environments, diagenetic changes, and potential as petroleum seals or source rocks. 3. The research aims to better understand the clay mineralogy, elemental composition, grain size, and diagenetic alterations of mudrocks in two anticlines in Bangladesh and infer their depositional environments.
