Abstract: Structural Geology of Gua Musang Formation in Kelantan

PERTEMUAN PERSATUAN (MEETINGS OF THE SOCIETY) Structural geology of Gua Musang Formation in Kelantan Kelatan is a northern state of Peninsular Malaysia. The boundary of this state to the north is Thailand, easthern part is Terengganu, southern part is Pahang and westhern part with Perak and Kedah. This paper explains structural variation of all litologi of Gua Musang Formation in Negeri Kelantan. Geologicaly Negeri Kelantan are comprises of west Kelantan Olistostrom, Taku Schist and Gua Musang Formation. Igneus rock in Negeri Kelantan are granite, diorite porphire, andesite, ignimbrite dan dolerite. Structuraly Negeri Kelantan are boundared by olistostrom in the west and Lebir Fault Zone in the east. The method of this study is detailed measurement along the road and river. The analysis by the Dips programme and combination with manual method. Gua Musang Formation is mainly separate in Negeri Kelantan. Main fold of Gua Musang Formation in the middle part towards north- south up to north-northwest – south-southeast. In the northern part of this main fold terned by granite intrusion and diorite pophire towards NE-SW. The main of fault in the Gua Musang Formation are dekstral fault with strike N30-45oE and diping 60-70o to SE and of sinistral fault with strke N330-340oE and diping 60-80o to ENE-WSW. In the area boundared by igneus granit intrusion and near than main fault, Gua Musang Formation formed the compact and strongly folding. Itrusion of diorite pophire towards NE-SW have to terned the main fold of Gua Musang Formatin to follow this intrusion.

Carving Motifs in Timber Houses of Kelantan and Terengganu: Sustaining Malay Architectural Identity
CARVING MOTIFS IN TIMBER HOUSES OF KELANTAN AND TERENGGANU: SUSTAINING MALAY ARCHITECTURAL IDENTITY Ismail Said and Zumahiran Binti Kamarudin Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Graduate School for International Development and Cooperation Hiroshima University May 2010 Introduction • Malay traditional timber houses are normally decorated with excellent carvings with distinctive feature such as on external walls, over doors and windows and fascia board of gable end to provide ventilation as well as decoration,. • Woodcarving is considered as an integral component to the vernacular Malay houses in the northeastern states of Peninsular Malaysia, namely Kelantan and Terengganu. • Carving motifs of flora, geometry, Arabic calligraphy and cosmic features are depicted on carved panels of doors, walls, railings and ventilation components in different shapes and sizes. Aims of the Study • To highlight the visual interpretation of the carving motifs which were applied in the house components. This study provides a significant pattern of carving motif and its application in the carved components of the timber houses of Kelantan and Terengganu which were built in the years of 1850s to late 1940s. Its configuration and distribution in the building fabric were also examined. • The pattern of architectural embellishment could serve as a framework which could be considered as part of invaluable Malay heritage and they were indeed of historical and cultural importance. The woodcarving was a traditional art that reflected the local traditions and customs. Research Questions 1. What are the types of carving motif and contents of carved elements found in the traditional timber houses? 1. What are the uses, styles and pattern of regularity of carving motifs that signify the regional identity? Methods of Research The required data was gathered from the following three research methods: (1) Measured drawings and reports of timber houses from the Centre for the Study of Built Environment in the Malay World (KALAM) at the Department of Architecture in the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM).

I (Jun. 2015), PP 21-27 www.iosrjournals.org Small Holder Farmers’ Preferences in Feedingcattle In ECER Region, Malaysia *A Najim, MR Amin, SMR Karim and S J Mei Faculty of Agro Based Industry University Malaysia Kelantan (Campus Jeli), 17600, Kelantan, Malaysia Abstract: This study was conducted in ECER region Malaysia, which included, Kelantan, Pahang, Terengganu and part of Johor. The objective of this study was to identify the farmers’ preferences in feeding their cattle in this region. Data were collected by door to door survey usingstructured questionnaire as a tool for this study. A total of 289 small holder cattle farm families from 4 states of ECER were surveyed. From the result it appeared that number of beef cattle farm dominates over dairy in all states but there is regional difference in the ratio of beef to dairy farm. Highest proportion of dairy units are found in Johor (35.03%) and lowest in Terengganu (2.60%). Almost 52% farmers practice pasture grazing in main for feeding their cattle in Kelantan, 50% in Pahang, 44% in Kelantan and only 22% in Johor.An overall 6.57% farmers graze their cattle on road side.Very small % of farmers use treated or untreated straw to feed their cattle which indicate huge wastage of this kind of roughage. Feeding of silage is practised mainly in Johor (32.81%). Around 4-5% small holder farmers in Kelantan, Pahang and Terengganu provide green oil palm frond (OPF) as the main roughage feed to their cattle although it is the main cattle feed in large scale or integrated farming.Nearly 49% farmers in Kelantan maintain their animals without any concentrate feed.

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Malaysia, Volume 62, December 2016, pp. 131 – 142 The Gua Musang Group: A newly proposed stratigraphic unit for the Permo-Triassic sequence of Northern Central Belt, Peninsular Malaysia KAMAL ROSLAN MOHAMED1,2,*, NELISA AMEERA MOHAMED JOEHARRY1, MOHD SHAFEEA LEMAN1,2 & CHE AZIZ ALI1,2 1Geology Programme, Faculty of Science and Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 Bangi, Malaysia 2Institute for Environment and Development (LESTARI), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 Bangi, Malaysia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: The close association between the Gua Musang formation, Telong formation, Aring Formation, and Nilam marble reflect the lateral facies changes among these formations. Poorly delineated boundaries between each formation calls for a reassessment on the genetic and stratigraphic correlation of these formations. The newly proposed Gua Musang Group is defined as argillite-carbonate-volcanic deposited within the same Gua Musang platform during Permo-Triassic period, which includes all four formations under study. High resolution stratigraphy is needed for each formation for better stratigraphic correlation between the various lithostratigraphic units of the Gua Musang Group and other chronologically related rock formations in the region.The new division of formations within this Group is proposed based on lithologies and stratigraphic correlation that could provide better understanding on the geology of northern section of Central Belt of Peninsular Malaysia. Keywords: Gua Musang Group, Permian, Triassic, Central Belt, Peninsular Malaysia Abstrak: Persamaan di antara formasi Gua Musang, formasi Telong, Formasi Aring, dan marmar Nilam melambangkan perubahan fasies secara lateral di antara formasi-formasi ini. Sempadan yang tidak ditandakan dengan sempurna antara formasi memerlukan penilaian semula terhadap korelasi genetik dan stratigrafi antara formasi-formasi ini.

A Short Description of Malayan Prehistoric Pottery
III. MALAYA A short description of Malayan Prehistoric Pottery By B. A. V. PEACOCK I. INTRODUCTION The Collections HE humid, tropical c~i~ate of Malay~ does not favo~r:he archreological record. Sites in exposed posItIons soon vanIsh before the JOInt onslaught of weather Tand vegetation. Even where some measure of natural protection is afforded, as for example in the caves and rock shelters which riddle the limestone in the northern half of the Peninsula, only the most durable artifacts survive. Given such extreme conditions, it is not therefore surprising that pottery, one of the most lasting products of primitive technology, should form a major item in any collection of Malayan prehistoric material. What is surprising, in view of its preponderance in the later periods, is that no attempt should have been made so far to describe the Malayan ceramics in detail. The earliest recorded archreological excavations in Malaya were those of Mr L. Wray, the first Curator of the Perak Museum, Taiping. Between 1880 and 1891 Wray investigated rock shelters in the limestone hill known as Gunong Cheroh near Ipoh in the State of Perak. However, these pioneer efforts were not very enlightening and he found no ceramics. '.. except.for some fragments of coarse earthenware in the superficial layers of some of the caves ... undoubtedly of comparatively speaking recent Malayan origin' (Wray 1897: 45). Mr I. H. N. Evans was more fortunate during his long career in Malaya. In 1917 he excavated caves and rock shelters at Lenggong and Batu Kurau in Perak and at Gunong Sennyum and Kota Tongkat in Pahang.

Field Relations and Petrochemistry of the Jeli Igneous Complex, North Kelantan: Preliminary Observations
Geological Society of Malaysia Annual Geological Conference 2000 September 8-9 2000, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia Field Relations and Petrochemistry of the Jeli Igneous Complex, North Kelantan: Preliminary Observations AMAN SHAH OTHMAN, AzMAN A. GHANI & KAMARUL HAm RosLEE Department of Geology, University of Malaya, 50603, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Abstract The Jeli Igenous Complex is located about I km north of Jeli town, Kelantan which is part of the Jeli granite. Four main rock types occur in the area namely (in decreasing age) coarse grained foliated biotite granite (CFBG), grey microgranite (GM), medium grained foliated biotite granite (MFBG), and hornblende biotite basaltic dyke (HBBD). The field evidence suggests that both GM and MFBG magmas are synplutonic. The CFBG, MFBG and GM consists of typical granitic (s.l) mineral that is quartz, plagioclase, K-feldspar, biotite, zircon, apatite, sphene, allanite and opaque phase whereas the HBBD contains hornblende, quartz, plagioclase, biotite, apatite, sphene and opaque phases. Petrographic study shows that the rocks in the area have undergone both magmatic and high temperature solid-state deformation. Hubungan Lapangan dan Petrokimia Kompleks lgneus Jeli, Utara Kelantan: Tinjauan Awal Abstrak Batuan igneus komplek Jeli yang merupakan sebahagian daripada granit Jeli, terletak kira-kira 1 km ke utara Pekan Jeli, Kelantan. Terdapat 4 jenis batuan di kawasan ini yang dinamakan (berdasarkan penurunan usia batuan) granit biotit berfoliasi butiran kasar (CFBG), mikrogranit kelabu (GM), granit biotit berfoliasi butiran sederhana (MFBG) dan daik hornblend biotit berbasalt (HBBD). Bukti lapangan mencadangkan bahawa magma GM dan MFBG adalah sinplutonik. CFBG, MFBG dan GM mempunyai komposisi gran it yang lazim terdiri daripada mineral kuarza, plagioklas, K-feldspar, biotit, zirkon, apatit, sfen, alanit dan mineral legap manakala HBBD pula mengandungi mineral hornblend, kuarza, plagioklas, biotit, apatit, sfen dan mineral legap.

Geology of the Batu Melintang-Sungai Kolok Transect Area Along the Malaysia – Thailand Border
GEOLOGY OF THE BATU MELINTANG-SUNGAI KOLOK TRANSECT AREA ALONG THE MALAYSIA – THAILAND BORDER By The Malaysian and Thai Working Groups A joint project carried out by Minerals and Geoscience Department Malaysia and Department of Mineral Resources, Thailand The Malaysia-Thailand Border Joint Geological Survey Committee (MT-JGSC) 2006 - ii - PREFACE This report together with its accompanying geological map on the scale 1:250,000 is the result of close cooperation between the Minerals and Geoscience Department Malaysia, and the Department of Mineral Resources, Thailand in resolving problems related to cross border geological correlation between Malaysia and Thailand. Fieldwork was carried out separately (July – August 2001) in the Batu Melintang and Sungai Kolok areas and then jointly checked (5-11 April 2002) by geoscientists from both Malaysia and Thailand, covering a total area of about 1,350 square kilometres along the common border. Problems on the discontinuity of time rock unit boundaries between the various rocks found in both sides of the common border areas have been satisfactorily resolved. Potential mineral deposits occur along the border areas but the present security situation, as well as environmental issues does not encourage the exploitation of these mineral deposits. Future increase in the price of minerals coupled with advances in mining technology may facilitate joint exploitation of these mineral deposits.
