Abstract

Recent excavations, facility constructions and road cuts in the Badung Peninsula, southern Bali have provided additional exposure to the Selatan Limestone Formation. This short note highlights interesting features of the newly discovered outcrops, which are situated near popular touristic destinations including the beaches of the south coast and Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park.Although the geology is relatively simple, the varying facies in the outcrops indicate a range of depositional processes. Overall, the limestone beds are flat. The dips of the layers are less than 10° at different directions. The limestones exposed at the observation locations consist of various types of limestones, which are essentially dominated by mudstone and packstone. Homogenous grains, classified as calcarenite to calcirudite, are also found abundant in several other units.

Abstract

During the colonial years there was little support from the Netherlands government for non-applied scientific work. The colonies had to pay for themselves and had to be profitable for the Netherlands; science was not considered to be a good investment. Nevertheless, a number of important oceanographic expeditions took place, for example, the Siboga and Snellius expeditions. Both were named after the ships that carried the scientists and both were paid for by the Netherlands government. The objective was to prove that the Dutch Indies were not only the best governed, but also the scientifically most developed tropical colony. Moreover there were the Dutch who needed to consolidate colonial rule by showing the flag over the whole archipelago. Germans, British, Americans and Japanese were encroaching on the Far East (New Guinea, Philippines, Malaysia and Taiwan) and in some ways the expedition can be considered as ‘gunboat science’. Even so, vast amount of prime oceanographical, hydrographical, biological and geological data were collected with state-of-the-art equipment.
