Unlike the majority of Sunda Islands, much of the central core of Sumatra was emergent from the early Eocene through the early Miocene. Freshwater lacustrine sediments of the early Eocene Sangkarewang Formation have yielded an abundant diversity of fishes and a single bird skeleton but no other evidence of terrestrial vertebrates is known until the Pleis- tocene. In the summer of 2007 a reconnais- sance survey of Cenozoic sediments were initiated in the Ombilin Basin located in the Barisan Mountains of central Sumatra (Figure 1).The outcrop are well exposed in Sa- Figure 1: Ombilin Basin located in the Barisan Mountains of central Sumatra.

In the Sawahlunto the bird foot print location Formation we discovered two series of avian tracks representing two different shorebirds (Figure 2). These tracks were found at the base of a thinly laminated, coarsening upward sandstone overlain by a relatively thin layer (0.5 meter) of coaly shale, followed by a quartz-sand conglomerate at the top of the local section (12 meters total thickness). The sandstone contains carbonaceous debris and small to medium, parallel ripples are formed (Figures 3). One set of tracks has an angle of 90 degrees between digits one and three and is of relatively small size and probably repre- sents a gruiform (rail). The second set of tracks has a 120 degree angle between digits one and three and was likely made by a cha- radriid (plover) or scolopacid (sandpiper) shorebird (Figures 4 and 5). In addition to the bird tracks, small, circular traces (Skolithos ichnofacies) are present probably representing Volume 20— February 2011 Page 5 tubes of suspension feeding invertebrates such as clams or worms (Figure 6). The presence of these traces suggests that the bird trcks were formed on an intertidal beach and the birds may well have been feeding on these invertebrates.

Peterson Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Peter V. Lape Department of Anthropology Trade and exchange exerted a powerful force in the historic and protohistoric past of Island Southeast Asian communities. Exchange and interaction are also hypothesized to have played an important role in the spread of new technologies and lifestyles throughout the region during the Neolithic period. Although it is clear that interaction has played an important role in shaping Island Southeast Asian cultures on a regional scale, little is known about local histories and trajectories of exchange in much of the region. This dissertation aims to improve our understanding of the adaptive role played by exchange and interaction through an exploration of change over time in the connectedness of island communities in the Banda Islands, eastern Indonesia. Connectedness is examined by measuring source diversity for two different types of archaeological materials. Chemical characterization of pottery using LA-ICP-MS allows the identification of geochemically different paste groups within the earthenware assemblages of two Banda Islands sites. Source diversity measures are employed to identify differences in relative connectedness between these sites and changes over time.

The Cilaki watershed is characterized by wide valley shapes in the mid to upstream areas and narrow valley shapes in the downstream area, which shape is like a wine glass. The Cilaki watershed is dominated by Quaternary volcanic deposits, while in the downstream area Tertiary sedimentary rocks are exposed. The Cilaki watershed appears to be controlled by active fault, but it isn't known how its stage of activities. The morphotectonic analysis focuses on the influences of geological structures on the shape of the watershed using remote sensing method. The tectonic frame is determined by tectonical analysis base on Southern West Java tectonic setting. We divide the morphotectonic study of the Cilaki watershed into three parts: 1) the quantitative characteristics of the geomorphology; 2) morphometrical analysis; and 3) characteristics of the geological structures. The shape and boundaries of the Cilaki watershed are determined by their structural influences.

  • Chapter 3 Geology & Tectonics
    Chapter 3 Geology & Tectonics 3.1 Geology The general geological features of Indonesia are shown in Figure 3.1. The basement formation is metamorphic and it is intruded with plutonic formations. They are overlain with Mesozoic, Cenozoic, recent volcanic formations and quaternary deposits. The oldest rocks of Sumatra Island are gneiss, schist and quartzite and the schists often contain gold. They probably belong to several geological periods, but all were folded and denuded before the Carboniferous beds were deposited. They form the backbone of the island, and crop out on the surface at intervals along the mountain chain which runs parallel to the west coast. They are penetrated by granitic rock at several locations, which are also Pre-Carboniferous. The next series of rocks consist of slates below and limestone above. It lies unconformably upon the older rocks; and the limestone contains Fusulina, Phihipsia and Productus, indicating that it belongs to the Upper Carboniferous. These beds are found only Figure 3.1 Regional geology of Indonesia (Indonesian Government) 12 in northern Sumatra. They are accompanied by intrusions of diabase and gabbro, and they are sometimes folded, but they are little disturbed. No Permian beds are known, and Mesozoic deposits such as Triassic clays and sandstones with Daonella have been found in the upper part of the basin of the Kwalu (East Sumatra). They rest unconformably upon the Carboniferous beds, and have been steeply tilted. Cretaceous beds also have been buckled. Tertiary deposits are very widely spread over the plains and low-lying regions. They consist of breccias, conglomerates, sandstones, marls, and limestones, with seams of coal and lignite.

  • Sequence Stratigraphy Applied to the Hydrocarbon Productive Basins of Western Indonesia
    AAPG Internatumal Con/erma d &hibitul/I '94 Augl"'t 21-24.1994. Kuala Lumpur, MalaY.lul Sequence stratigraphy applied to the hydrocarbon productive basins of western Indonesia S. COURTENEY 124 Wangford Road Reydon, Suffolk, IP18 SNZ, England Abstract: Oil exploration began in Indonesia in 1870 and the first commercial discovery was made in 1885 in the North Sumatra Basin_ Since then over 3,000 exploratory wells have been drilled in Western Indonesia with some 750 discoveries reported. By the end of 1992 over 300 fields in eleven geological basins were producing in Western Indonesia and a further 100 fields were either shut-in or had been abandoned. However, despite the fact that Western Indonesia is a mature hydrocarbon province, all published work of a regional nature, and indeed most internal company reports, use lithostratigraphy and to a lesser extent biostratigraphy_ Lithostratigraphy is based, often unwittingly, on pre-1960's work when only relatively shallow wells and limited seismic were available. Additional difficulties arise from companies using alternative names for a rock unit and the same formation name for different rock units_ Biostratigraphy is handicapped by the lack of age diagnostic fossils in the Early Miocene and older sediments in most of Sumatra and Natuna_ In Java and Kalimantan, where the older section tends to be more marine and age diagnostic fossils are present, significant errors in age determination occur due to reworking of sediments_ As a consequence the 'hydrocarbon system' in Western Indonesia is inadequately understood and exploration efforts are often poorly applied_ This paper proposes a correlative framework using sequence stratigraphy for the hydrocarbon productive basins of Western Indonesia, which should contribute to a better understanding of the 'hydrocarbon system' and significantly reduce exploration risk in Western Indonesia.

Busur kepulauan memiliki ciri geodinamika sangat aktif, yaitu kaya akan gunungapi (negara terbanyak jumlah gunungapinya di dunia) dan kaya akan gempabumi. Kedua fenomena geologis ini sering mengakibatkan bencana alam. Secara morfologis muka bumi kepulauan Indonesia terdiri dari pesisir, dataran hingga perbukitan. Sebagian wilayah Indonesia juga dikenal padat penduduknya, sehingga sebagian dari mereka tinggal di daerah pesisir yang pada bagian tertentu rawan bencana tsunami. Sebagian dari penduduk kita juga merambah daerah lereng dan perbukitan. Akibatnya mereka tinggal di tempat rawan akan bencana lereng (gerakan tanah atau longsoran). Mereka yang tinggal di dataran juga menempati daerah yang sering merupakan bagian dari dataran banjir dari sungai tertentu, sehingga berpotensi berhadapan dengan bencana banjir. Pada saat sekarang, sebagai negara kepulauan terbesar di dunia, Indonesia, yang terletak di daerah tropis, juga memiliki potensi bencana lainnya yaitu kekeringan maupun badai akibat pengaruh perubahan iklim lokal maupun global yang banyak dipengaruhi oleh kegiatan manusia, misalnya pengaruh rumah kaca.

  • Deep Sea Sediment Gravity Flow Deposits in Gulf of Tomini, Sulawesi
    Jurnal Geologi Indonesia, Vol. 3 No. 4 Desember 2008: 217-225 Deep Sea Sediment Gravity Flow Deposits in Gulf of Tomini, Sulawesi D. KUSNI D A and SUBARSYAH Marine Geological Institute, Jl. Dr. Djundjunan 236 Bandung 40174 ABSTR A CT Micro plate collision against the Eastern Arm of Sulawesi since Pliocene has resulted in a major supply of terigenous sediments into Late Miocene rift-basins in Gulf of Tomini. Studies on offshore multi-channel seismic reflection data complemented by published on-land geological data indicate a series of tectonic events that influenced the depositional system in the Gulf of Tomini. During the Late Neogene, alternating pulses of terigenous sediments were deposited in the basins in the form of deep-sea slump-turbidite-pelagic sediments. A sediment gravity flow deposit system at the slope and the base of the basins changed gradually into a deep-sea pelagic fill system toward the center of the basins. Three tectono-stratigraphy sequences (A, B, and C) separated by unconformities indicating the Late Neogene history and the development of the basins were identified. These tectonic processes imply that the earlier sediments in the Gulf of Tomini are accomplished by a differential subsidence, which allows a thickening of basin infill. The Pliocene-Quaternary basin fill marks the onset of a predominant gravity flow depositional system Keywords: Gulf of Tomini, basin, slump, turbidite, pelagic, seismic stratigraphy SARI Tumbukan benua mikro dengan Lengan Timur Sulawesi sejak zaman Pliosen telah mengakibatkan pasokan sedimen terigenus dalam jumlah besar ke dalam cekungan regangan berumur Miosen Akhir di Teluk Tomini.

  • Geological Evolution of the Indonesian Archipelago
    GEOSEA V Proceedings Vol. II , Geol. Soc. Malaysia, Bulletin 20, August 1986; pp. 97-136 Geological evolution of the Indonesian Archipelago H.M.S. H ARTONO A D S. TJOKROSAPOETRO Marine Geological Institute, lndone ia Abstract: The Indonesian Archipelago consists of accretionary development of island arcs, continental blocks, rifted and drifted microcontinents, ophiolite fragments and sedimentary cover. These through a series of compli cated past to recent tectonic processes form the current configuration of the archipelago. In the geological evolution of Southeast Asia, ac ti ve plate margins, resulting in island arc development and accretionary terranes have played an important role since Late Triassic time. Prior to their developmen t, the Proto Kalimantan and Proto Sumatera continents, both including island arc were amalgamated during Late Triassic time along the Bentong-Raub suture to form the Sunda Platform. In contrast the northwestern margin of Australia has always been a passive margin. Based on palaeontology, palaeomagnetics and stratigraphy the Indonesian Archipelago is provisionally subdivided into 13 terranes. Material accreted along active margins commonly called accretionary terrane is excluded from thi terrane classsification. The terranes are Proto-Kalim antan, Sumatera basement, Southwest Su lawesi, East Sulawesi Opiolite, Sumba, Seram, Ti mor, Buton, Banggai-Sula, Buru and Bacan.The continental fragments Sikuleh and Natal have recently been reported to occur in the southwestern coast of Sumetera. The NE margin of Australia ha continued to develop as an active margin up to the present day, producing the Banda Arc. During the Paleogene southwest Sulawesi rifted away from east Kalimantan to collide with oceanic crust to the east and in the Tertiary, west Sulawesi magmatic arc came into ex istence.
