Abstract

Sukamoro area, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatera, was the research location. This investigation focuses on the origin of sandstones from the Talang Akar Formation. In the area of investigation, sandstones are widely dispersed and exhibit a variety of properties. Due to the abundance of sandstones found and their high resistance and physical compactness, an analysis of the original rock can be carried out. Generally, the material that makes up sandstone comes from the previous rock. This investigation was undertaken using a descriptive-analytical methodology to determine the origin of the rock. The collected surface data is subsequently petrographically examined. After determining the composition of the constituent minerals, a provenance analysis was conducted to determine that the Talang Akar Formation's sandstones originated from the Magmatic Arc. Furthermore, the Talang Akar sandstone reveals the origin of the Recycle Orogen. Thus, it is considered that the sandstones of the Talang Akar Formation have seen many uplift episodes as a result of tectonic activity, almost to the point where they have experienced an increase in the maturity or stability of their continental block provenances

Abstract

This study analyzes the petrological characteristics and depositional mechanisms of tuffaceous sandstones in the Genteng and Cipacar Formations, located in the Kadurahayu area, Banten Province. By integrating field observations with quantitative petrography based on Pettijohn (1975), the research identifies distinct mineralogical and textural variations between the two units. The Early-Middle Pliocene Genteng Formation is classified as a lithic wacke, comprising quartz (25%), lithic fragments (28%), and volcanic glass (10%). In contrast, the Late Pliocene Cipacar Formation is categorized as a greywacke, characterized by higher volcanic glass (13%) and clay matrix (22%) content. The presence of massive structures, matrix-supported fabrics, and poor microscopic sorting indicates that these deposits originated from sediment gravity flows and subsequent volcaniclastic reworking rather than primary air-fall processes. Early diagenesis is marked by the devitrification of volcanic glass into clay minerals, which significantly influenced rock porosity and overall properties. Regionally, the Genteng Formation exhibits higher textural maturity due to more extensive transport and reworking, while the Cipacar Formation reflects distal volcanic facies with a dominant primary volcanic input. These findings enhance the understanding of the depositional processes and volcanostratigraphic evolution within the Java volcanic arc.
