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.

Abstract

The texture of sedimentary rocks is a fundamental aspect of sedimentation, reflecting the physical properties of particles and their relationships. Understanding rock texture is essential for interpreting depositional mechanisms and environments. Grain maturity represents a key property within sedimentary textures. The Early Miocene Semilir Formation is characterized by turbidite deposits with tuffaceous lithologies; however, the transport mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to analyze the sedimentation process of the Semilir Formation by observing grain maturity. Granulometric analysis was conducted on three rock samples from the Ngoro-oro area, Gunungkidul Regency, Yogyakarta. The samples were ground, separated into size fractions, and statistically evaluated to determine quartiles, median diameter, sorting coefficient, skewness, and kurtosis. The results showed that the Semilir Formation consisted of immature grain sedimentary rocks, indicating that the sediments were deposited under moderate to high energy conditions. These findings suggest that the deposits were derived from a nearby source and were strongly influenced by volcanic slopes and underwater volcanic activity.Keywords: Grain maturity; Granulometric analysis; Sedimentary process; Semilir Formation
