The Indonesian, western part of New Guinea island is currently called West Papua; historically it has been known successively as Netherlands New Guinea, Irian Barat and Irian Jaya. The eastern part of the island is the independent nation of Papua New Guinea. Elegant recent overviews of the regional geology and tectonics of New Guinea are by Baldwin et al. (2012) and Davies (2012) (Figures VIII.1.1, VIII.1.2). Figure VIII.1.1. Main tectonic elements of the New Guinea region (Baldwin et al. 2012) Geologically, the main island of New Guinea is composed of: 1. The relatively undeformed Australian continental plate in the South, with Precambrian basement and relatively thin young sediment cover that is thickening into a foreland basin South of the Central Range; 2. Central Range fold-thrust belt of imbricated Mesozoic-Miocene sediments that were deposited along the Australian plate continental margin, and deformed during Miocene collision events with West Pacific arc systems; 3. Northern New Guinea 'Mobile Belt': a tectonically complex collage of Cenozoic Pacific oceanic arc systems, microcontinental blocks, ophiolites, metamorphics and Neogene sedimentary basins, the amalgamation of which was driven by the oblique convergence between the Pacific and Indo-Australian plates. 4. The 'Birds Head' in the NW, which does not readily fit with any of the above three tectonic domains. Its basement of imbricated Silurian-Devonian deep marine sediments intruded by Permian-Triassic granitoids is Bibliography of Indonesia Geology, Ed. 7.0 1 www.vangorselslist.com July 2018 much more similar to the Paleozic accretionary crust of PNG- East Australia than the Precambrian basement overlain by undeformed shallow marine Early Paleozoic of nearby West Papua. Figure VIII.1.2. Geological map of the New Guinea region (Davies 2012) Two different basement domains have been distinguished in the Australian Plate domain South of the Central Range, separated by an apparent continuation of the 'Tasman Line' of NE Australia (Figure VIII.1.1; see also Hill and Hall 2003): 1. Precambrian the West is part of the stable Australian craton, with Proterozoic metamorphics and granites, overlain by relatively undeformed Late Proterozoic and Paleozoic cover of shallow marine and non-marine intra-cratonic sediments; 2. Paleozoic: the eastern part (all in PNG) displays characteristics of the Eastern Australia/ Gondwana active margin, with highly deformed early Paleozoic marine sediments intruded by a belt of Permian- Triassic arc intrusives. (the 'Kemum Terrane' of the Birds Head of West Papua also displays these 'Tasmanide' Paleozoic active margin charactistics). The Central Range is composed mainly of complexly folded marine Jurassic- Early Miocene passive margin sediments. A long belt of ophiolites and associated metamorphic rocks along the northern margin of the Central Range foldbelt marks the suture between the Australian continental margin to the South and Pacific domain volcanic arc and ophiolite complexes in the North. Its emplacement marks the Early? Miocene collision of the Australian continent with an Oligo-Miocene age Philippine Sea volcanic arc. The Central Range, in both West Papua and Papua New Guinea, also contains a belt of Late Miocene- Recent dioritic intrusives and volcanics, many of which are associated with 'world-class' large porphyry gold-copper mineralizations. Some authors interpreted these intrusives as the result of South-directed subduction of Pacific Ocean (Philippine Sea) oceanic plate, after an older arc collision and subduction reversal. North of New Guinea island is the domain of the Westward-moving Pacific Ocean, which is composed of several tectonic sub-plates. Most of the oblique convergence with the North-moving Australia-New Guinea- plate is accommodated by subduction at the New Guinea Trench, but a significant component of transpressional deformation can be seen along several major E-W trending, left-lateral fault systems in northern half of New Guinea island (Koulali et al. 2014, etc.). Bibliography of Indonesia Geology, Ed. 7.0 2 www.vangorselslist.com July 2018 VIII.1. New Guinea General and West Papua (Irian Jaya) This sub-chapter VIII.1 of Bibliography 7.0 contains 768 refences on the geology of the Indonesian western part of New Guinea, as well as regional papers that cover the entire New Guinea region. The most comprehensive publication on the geology West Papua is still Visser and Hermes (1962), which summarizes the geological results of 30 years of petroleum exploration by the NNGPM (Shell-Caltex-Stanvac) consortium. Another book is by Dow et al. (2005), which is based on surface mapping work in the 1980's. Central Range The Central Range of West Papua formed as a result of collision of the Australian-New Guinea continental margin with a volcanic arc, along a North-dipping subduction zone. This probably took place before the Middle Miocene, as metamorphic-ophiolitic detritus from the Central Range is found in sandstones of the Middle Miocene Makats Formation North of the foldbelt (Visser and Hermes 1962). Figure VIII.1.3. Historic photo at ~4000m elevation of the ~4700m high, snow-covered peak of Mt Wilhelmina/ Trikora (Hubrecht, Third South New Guinea Expedition 1912/1913). Showing a ridge (Upper Cretaceous?) bedded sandstone overlain by massive Cenozoic New Guinea Limestone. The northern margin of this Central Range collision zone is a belt of obductucted ophiolites, that is underlain by a metamorphic sole that represents metamorphosed Jurasssic-Cretaceous deep marine distal continental margin clastics. Bibliography of Indonesia Geology, Ed. 7.0 3 www.vangorselslist.com July 2018 Figure VIII.1.4. N-S x-section of W (highest) part of the Central Range, showing peaks up to 5000m elevation composed of folded Eocene-Oligocene New Guinea Limestone, and the large exposed Ertsberg ('copper mountain') porphyry copper deposit at about 4000m. The lower areas are composed of Paleozoic- Mesozoic clastics and carbonates (Dozy, 1939). A second phase of uplift in the Late Pliocene-Pleistocene is apparent from the presence of outcrops of Late Pliocene dioritic intrusions, that crystallized at depth of at least a few kilometers, and are now exposed at altitudes of 4000m. Several of these intrusives are associated with world-class porphyry copper-gold mineralizations (Ertsberg, Grasberg, etc.). This uplift phase can be ascribed to slab breakoff/ collisional delamination after the underthusted Australian continental margin jammed the North-dipping subduction zone (Cloos et al. 2005). Birds Head paleo-position The Birds Head may well be a displaced terrane that was removed from a different part of the Australian- New Guinea margin. Today the Birds Head of West Papua moves as an independent microplate relative to the main body of New Guinea, in a SW direction at ~75-80 mm/year, which is twice as fast as any other continental block (GPS measurements in Stevens et al. 2002). Yet, many plate reconstruction models show the Birds Head as being more or less in the same relative position as today since the Mesozoic (Hall, etc.). Figure VIII.1.5. Present-day GPS motions show Birds Head as part of a separate plate (BHED) that is very rapidly moving to the WSW relative to South New Guinea- North Australia (Tikku 2008). Bibliography of Indonesia Geology, Ed. 7.0 4 www.vangorselslist.com July 2018 An alternative model proposed for the Birds Head is a paleo-position closer to the PNG side of New Guinea or NE Australia (Queensland) until Cretaceous time, when it separated during the opening of the Coral Sea (Pigram and Panggabean 1984, Struckmeyer et al. 1993, 1995, Davies 2012). This model was largely driven by the nature of the Early Paleozoic Kemum Formation basement of the Birds Head, which has a clear 'active

  • Abstract of Counting Systems of Papua New Guinea and Oceania
    Abstract of http://www.uog.ac.pg/glec/thesis/ch1web/ABSTRACT.htm Abstract of Counting Systems of Papua New Guinea and Oceania by Glendon A. Lean In modern technological societies we take the existence of numbers and the act of counting for granted: they occur in most everyday activities. They are regarded as being sufficiently important to warrant their occupying a substantial part of the primary school curriculum. Most of us, however, would find it difficult to answer with any authority several basic questions about number and counting. For example, how and when did numbers arise in human cultures: are they relatively recent inventions or are they an ancient feature of language? Is counting an important part of all cultures or only of some? Do all cultures count in essentially the same ways? In English, for example, we use what is known as a base 10 counting system and this is true of other European languages. Indeed our view of counting and number tends to be very much a Eurocentric one and yet the large majority the languages spoken in the world - about 4500 - are not European in nature but are the languages of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific, Africa, and the Americas. If we take these into account we obtain a quite different picture of counting systems from that of the Eurocentric view. This study, which attempts to answer these questions, is the culmination of more than twenty years on the counting systems of the indigenous and largely unwritten languages of the Pacific region and it involved extensive fieldwork as well as the consultation of published and rare unpublished sources.

  • Kosipe Revisited
    Peat in the mountains of New Guinea G.S. Hope Department of Archaeology and Natural History, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia _______________________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Peatlands are common in montane areas above 1,000 m in New Guinea and become extensive above 3,000 m in the subalpine zone. In the montane mires, swamp forests and grass or sedge fens predominate on swampy valley bottoms. These mires may be 4–8 m in depth and up to 30,000 years in age. In Papua New Guinea (PNG) there is about 2,250 km2 of montane peatland, and Papua Province (the Indonesian western half of the island) probably contains much more. Above 3,000 m, peat soils form under blanket bog on slopes as well as on valley floors. Vegetation types include cushion bog, grass bog and sedge fen. Typical peat depths are 0.5‒1 m on slopes, but valley floors and hollows contain up to 10 m of peat. The estimated total extent of mountain peatland is 14,800 km2 with 5,965 km2 in PNG and about 8,800 km2 in Papua Province. The stratigraphy, age structure and vegetation histories of 45 peatland or organic limnic sites above 750 m have been investigated since 1965. These record major vegetation shifts at 28,000, 17,000‒14,000 and 9,000 years ago and a variable history of human disturbance from 14,000 years ago with extensive clearance by the mid- Holocene at some sites. While montane peatlands were important agricultural centres in the Holocene, the introduction of new dryland crops has resulted in the abandonment of some peatlands in the last few centuries.

Two species of Aalenian Tmetoceras have been identified on the basis of morphological, bio­ chronological and palaeobiogeographical data: T. scissum and T. regleyi. T. scissum was dominant among the Tmetoceras populations developed in the Betic and Lusitanian basins during Opalinum, Murchisonae and Bradfordensis biochrons. Popu­ lations coniposed by evolute individuals of T. scissum inhabited shelfal or oceanic envi­ ronments. A chronocline, from rectiradiate and primitive forms to flexicostate and derived forms, can be recognized in these populations of T. scissum. In contrast, shallow epiconti­ nental platforms were inhabited by involute individuals of T. regleyi. This second species was phyletically derived from T. scissum, representing an adaptive radiation from popula­ tions of shelfal or oceanic basins to populations of epicontinental platforms.

The skies revealed the warmth of the morning dawn revealing thunderheads over the distant mountains that seemed to reach the melting stars as the night sky disappeared. I was 30 meters above the ground in a tree blind climbed before dawn. Swirling mists enshrouded the steep jungle canopy amidst a great diversity of forest trees. I was waiting for male lesser birds of paradise Paradisaea minor to come in to a tree lek next to the blind, where males compete for prominent perches and defend them from rivals. From these perch’s males display by clapping their wings and shaking their head. At sunrise, two male Lesser Birds-of-Paradise arrived, scuffled for the highest perch and called with a series of loud far-carrying cries that increase in intensity. They then displayed and bobbed their yellow-and-iridescent-green heads for attention, spreading their feathers wide and hopped about madly, singing a one-note tune. The birds then lowered their heads, continuing to display their billowing golden white plumage rising above their rust-red wings. A less dazzling female flew in and moved around between the males critically choosing one, mated, then flew off. I was privileged to have used a researcher study blind and see one of the most unique group of birds in the world endemic to Papua New Guinea and its nearby islands.
