Abstract

This study focused on the Late Miocene Kerek Formation in Cipluk, Kendal Regency, Central Java, which belongs to the Kerek Formation, a lithostratigraphy unit characterized by Early Miocene - Late Miocene turbidite deposits. The research aims to comprehensively interpret the depositional environment characteristics of the Late Miocene Kerek Formation based on lithofacies, thin section analysis, and micropaleontological analysis. Gaining insights into facies characteristics and the depositional environment will offer novel perspectives for the exploration and development of oil and gas resources in the Kendeng basin. The methodology consists of data collection, analysis, and synthesis. Results indicate that the study area is dominated by classical turbidite facies, suggesting a distal zone with slow sediment settling. The analysis reveals that the Late Miocene Kerek Formation was deposited in a deep marine environment within the inner bathyal—outer bathyal bathymetry zone, specifically in the lower fan section of a submarine fan system. Based on the characteristics of existing deposits and facies, the deposition environment is identified as a fine-grained, mud-rich complex in an elongated submarine fan. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the Late Miocene depositional environment in the Kendeng Basin, Central Java.

Abstract

The provenance sediments have been analyzed to reveal tectonic development during the Semilir Formation deposition in the Southern Mountain of Yogyakarta area, using essential samples from field observation, petrography analysis, and the point counting method. Outcrop and sampling at two observation points revealed distinct lithological features, including sandstone and siltstone with mudclast structures and slump structures interbedded with siderite. Petrographic analysis using the point-counting method determined the mineral composition of four samples: 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B. Samples 1A and 1B were categorized as Lithic Wacke, 2A Feldspathic Wacke, and 2B Lithic Wacke. Provenance analysis, crucial for understanding the sedimentary history and reconstructing the geological events preceding sediment deposition, identified that the sandstones in the Ngoro-oro region predominantly fall into the magmatic arc category. Hence, based on our analysis, the tectonic development during Semilir Fm deposition is linked with the convergence event of the first subduction on southern Java, which had huge volcanic influences and slope morphology common in volcanic areas. The findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of the tectonosedimentary processes and geological history of the Ngoro-oro region. The integrated approach of petrographic and provenance analyses provides a comprehensive view of the sedimentary rocks formation and evolution, enriching the geological knowledge of the area.
