Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of Two Mesozoic Successions along the Jerantut-Maran Road, Pahang

Two neighboring outcrops, a thick conglomerate and sequence of sandstone-mudstone is well exposed and preserved along the road near Pulau Tawar along the Jerantut-Maran Road, Pahang. These outcrops of possible Mesozoic age are being studied in the field and lab to evaluate and interpret the sedimen...
