Early Miocene in Pyawbwe Formation is composed of bluish gray sand clay with dispersed gypsum plates, concretionary blue-gray clays, intraformationl conglomerates and subordinate sandstone. Gypsum is fibrous to crystalline and transparent type with fluid inclusions preserved in it. In this research, samples were also collected from four locations in Minhla area and two locations in Minbu area, Magway region. Energy Dispersive X‐ray fluorescence spectrometer (ED-XRF) study confirmed the main constituent of the collected samples are calcium, Ca and sulphur, S. In the collected samples, Ca and S contents are ranging from 61 to 67 mass % and 17 to 28 mass %, respectively.   From the X‐ray diffractometer (XRD) analysis, all the peaks of the collected samples are identical to the XRD pattern of monoclinic phase gypsum, CaSO4·2H2O. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results show the complete dehydration of collected samples from different sites (gypsum, CaSO4.2H2O) is the loss of water molecules and corresponds to the weight loss about 20%. ED-XRF, XRD and TGA results confirm that the collected samples from different sites are gypsum. We propose that gypsum veins in Pyawbwe Formation may have precipitated in the fractures formed due to pressure/forces generated by crystal growth. The combined results of geochemical studies have shown that these techniques have significant potential to identify the pure/mineral associates/similar chemical compositions elsewhere. Our results definitely provide the database from a range of ED-XRF, XRD and TGA techniques to better identify similar minerals and/or mineral‐associations in an extraterrestrial scenario. This study has significant implications in understanding various geological processes and alteration processes involving water on the earth."}]}, "item_1583103108160": {"attribute_name": "Keywords", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"interim": "Gypsum"}, {"interim": "ED-XRF"}, {"interim": "XRD"}, {"interim": "TGA"}]}, "item_1583103120197": {"attribute_name": "Files", "attribute_type": "file", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"accessrole": "open_access", "date": [{"dateType": "Available", "dateValue": "2026-05-18"}], "displaytype": "preview", "download_preview_message": "", "file_order": 0, "filename": "Geochemical Characterization of Gypsum in Minhla and Minbu Areas, Magway Region, Myanmar -Pyi Soe Thein, Nwe Nwe San, Kyi Hlaing.pdf", "filesize": [{"value": "3.2 MB"}], "format": "application/pdf", "future_date_message": "", "is_thumbnail": false, "licensetype": "license_0", "mimetype": "application/pdf", "size": 3200000.0, "url": {"url": "https://meral.edu.mm/record/12743/files/Geochemical Characterization of Gypsum in Minhla and Minbu Areas, Magway Region, Myanmar -Pyi Soe Thein, Nwe Nwe San, Kyi Hlaing.pdf"}, "version_id": "33427c4d-30de-4482-8a05-5da15eeb029e"}]}, "item_1583103131163": {"attribute_name": "Journal articles", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"subitem_issue": "1", "subitem_journal_title": "Sagaing University Research Journal", "subitem_pages": "308-319", "subitem_volume": "11"}]}, "item_1583105942107": {"attribute_name": "Authors", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"subitem_authors": [{"subitem_authors_fullname": "Pyi Soe Thein"}, {"subitem_authors_fullname": "Nwe Nwe San"}, {"subitem_authors_fullname": "Kyi Hlaing"}]}]}, "item_1583108359239": {"attribute_name": "Upload type", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"interim": "Publication"}]}, "item_1583108428133": {"attribute_name": "Publication type", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"interim": "Journal article"}]}, "item_1583159729339": {"attribute_name": "Publication date", "attribute_value": "2025-03-03"}, "item_title": "Geochemical Characterization of Gypsum in Minhla and Minbu Areas, Magway Region, Myanmar", "item_type_id": "21", "owner": "230", "path": ["1704332180226", "1704447094819"], "permalink_uri": "https://meral.edu.mm/records/12743", "pubdate": {"attribute_name": "Deposit date", "attribute_value": "2026-05-18"}, "publish_date": "2026-05-18", "publish_status": "0", "recid": "12743", "relation": {}, "relation_version_is_last": true, "title": ["Geochemical Characterization of Gypsum in Minhla and Minbu Areas, Magway Region, Myanmar"], "weko_shared_id": -1}
