  • Aptian to Turonian Radiolarians from Chert Blocks in the Kuamut Melange, Sabah, Malaysia
    Sains Malaysiana 42(5)(2013): 561–570 Aptian to Turonian Radiolarians from Chert Blocks in the Kuamut Melange, Sabah, Malaysia (Aptian hingga Turonian Radiolaria daripada Blok Rijang dalam Melange Kuamut, Sabah, Malaysia) JUNAIDI ASIS* & BASIR JASIN ABSTRACT The Kuamut Melange is located in the Kunak district, south east Sabah. The mélange consists of clasts and blocks of broken Paleogene formations and dismembered ophiolite blocks embedded in shale matrix. Fourteen samples were collected from sections S1 and S2 of the Kuamut Melange. A total of 45 species of radiolarians have been identified and only 36 selected species are used for age determination. Three assemblages (I-III) were identified. Assemblage I consists of Dictyomitra excellence, Crucella bossoensis, Hiscocapsa asseni, Hexapyramis precedis, Thanarla brouweri, Acanthocircus levis, Obeliscoites vinassai, Stichomitra communis, Staurosphaeretta longispina, Xitus spicularius, Triactoma cellulosa, and Dactyliosphaera maxima. This assemblage is marked by the occurrence of Crucella gavalai indicative of Aptian to Albian in age. Assemblage II was characterized by zonal maker Xitus mclaughlini. Other species in this assemblage are Xitus spinosus, Stichomitra tosaensis, Dictyomitra gracilis, Dictyomitra montisserei, Pseudodictyomitra pseudomacrocephala, Pessagnobrachia fabianii, Crucella messinae, Tuguriella pagoda, Dictyomitra obesa, Triactoma paronai, Rhopalosyringium euganeum, Acanthocircus venetus, Acaeniotyle rebelis, Dictyomitra formosa, Pseudodictyomitra tiara and Patellula helios.

  • Part I: Introduction
    PART I: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The Ulu Kalumpang Wullersdorf Sustainable Forest Management Project (UKW SFM) was incorporated in 2007 covering an area of 65,901.74 ha, comprising Ulu Kalumpang FR (50,964.00 ha); Mount Wullersdorf FR (8,857.00 ha); part of Madai Baturong FR (2,312.7 ha) and a cluster of Kalumpang FR i.e. VJR107C (950 ha), VJR107D (1,950 ha) and VJR107E (868 ha). This area is located about 50 km north of Tawau. However, a total of approximately 948 ha were excised in 2013 to pave the way for socio-economic development of the State. The excised areas are, part of Ulu Kalumpang FR (228 ha) and Mount Wullersdorf FR (720 ha). Hence, the remaining areas of Ulu Kalumpang FR and Mt. Wullersdorf FR is 50,736 ha and 8,317 ha respectively, and the total area of UKW SFM is now reduced to 64,953.74 ha. The management goals as a conservation area however remain unchanged. The management of UKW SFM project areas comes directly under the jurisdiction of the Kunak Forestry District of the Sabah Forestry Department. All forest reserves in UKW SFM are now classified as either Class I, Protection Forest Reserve or as Virgin Jungle Reserves (Fig. 1.1). Ulu Kalumpang FR was originally gazetted as a forest reserve in 1956 and re-gazetted as a Commercial Class II forest reserve in 1984. The status was changed to Class I Protection Forest in 1992 mainly to preserve the watershed to supply both Kunak and Tawau districts. Ulu Kalumpang was logged repeatedly from 1960-1984 thus, much of the forest is considered as secondary forest land (Table 1.0).
