Stratigraphy and sedimentology of Klias Peninsula, Sabah

The sedimentary rocks of Klias Peninsula consist of five formations. The oldest formation is the Crocker Formation (Upper Eocene to Lower Miocene) which has two lithologic units; the thick sandstone beds interstratified with thin sandstone and shale unit and the sandstone interbedded with shale unit...

The oldest formation is the Crocker Formation (Upper Eocene to Lower Miocene) which has two lithologic units; the thick sandstone beds interstratified with thin sandstone and shale unit and the sandstone interbedded with shale unit. Second formation is the Temburong Formation (Lower Oligocene to Lower Miocene). It has one lithologic unit which is the thick shale interstratified with thin sandstone beds unit. Next is the Setap Shale Formation (early Middle Miocene). It has one lithologic unit which is the thick shale interstratified with thin siltstone and limestone unit. The fourth formation is the Belait Formation (Upper Miocene). It also has one lithologic unit which is the crossbedded sandstone, shale and conglomerates unit. The youngest formation is the Liang Formation. The lithologic unit for this formation is the thick conglomerates unit. The Crocker Formation is proven to have interfingering contacts with the Temburong Formation while the Belait Formation overlain the Setap Shale Formation unconformably and the Liang Formation overlain the Belait Formation unconformably. In terms of sedimentology, there are twelve lithofacies on Klias Peninsula. There are four lithofacies for the Crocker Formation which are the Ta – Te beds, Tb – Te beds, Tc – Te beds and Td – Te beds. The Temburong Formation has one lithofacies which is the Te beds. The lithofacies for the Setap Shale Formation is the interbedded shale with thin siltstones. There are five lithofacies for the Belait Formation which are the basal conglomerate, the hummocky crossbedded sandstone, the swaleyhummocky crossbedded sandstone, the swaley crossbedded sandstone interbedded with thick mudstone and the swaley crossbedded sandstone. Liang Formation has one lithofacies which is the graded conglomerate. There are six facies associations in Klias Peninsula which are the channel – levee association, the lobe – migrating lobe association, the basin plain association, the inner shelf association, the shallow marine association and the fluvial unit association. The Crocker and Temburong formations have been deposited at the deep marine environment, the Setap Shale and Belait formations have been deposited at the shallow marine environment and the Liang Formation has been deposited at the fluvial environment. 2014 Thesis NonPeerReviewed text en https://eprints.ums.edu.my/id/eprint/42796/1/24%20PAGES.pdf text en https://eprints.ums.edu.my/id/eprint/42796/2/FULLTEXT.pdf Dayang Nor Asyilla Abang Abdullah (2014) Stratigraphy and sedimentology of Klias Peninsula, Sabah.
