01 January 1970 7 6K Report

The 1975 lexicon of Qatar states that the Cretaceous Mauddud Formation got its name from that locality near Dukhan.

The name was assigned by Dr. F.R.S. Henson in an unpublished 1940 report. Does anybody have that report?

A 1948 geological report on the Dukhan anticline by Dr. Max Chatton says "Ain Mauddud has a little water spring on the seashore". Does someone know where that water spring is/was?

Any help would be appreciated. This is related to my current research on the silica of the Rus Formation

Practically this is not at all necessary. But theoretically, would hydrous/hydrothermal synthesis be enough (like mix 1 mole alumina gel and 4 mole silica gel and gently heat) or would it require...
