BERITA SEDIMENTOLOGI aims to disseminate knowledge on the field of sedimentary geology to its readers. The journal welcomes contributions in the form of original research articles, review articles, short communications and discussions and replies. Occasionally, Berita Sedimentologi also includes field trip reports and book reviews, which are published only after going through peer-review processes. The main geographical areas of interest are Indonesia and SE Asia, however contribution from the rest of the world is also welcome. Berita Sedimentologi covers broad topics within sedimentary geology, particularly on depositional processes and their records in the rocks, petrology, sedimentology and stratigraphy of both siliciclastic and carbonate rocks; sequence stratigraphy, paleontology, biostratigraphy and sedimentary geochemistry. The journal also accepts articles on interdisciplinary research in sedimentary basin analysis, including large-scale basin geodynamics processes, mechanism of sedimentary basin formation, earth surface processes, sediment routing systems, petroleum geoscience and applied sedimentary geology analysis for mining and engineering geology.

Abstract

Dr. August Tobler was a well-known Swiss geologist, who, as one of the very first petroleum field geologists in the Netherlands Indies, did more than ten years of geological mapping in the tiger-infested jungles of South Sumatra. He first worked for the Koninklijke/Royal Dutch and Moeara Enim oil companies in South Sumatra from 1900 to 1904. This was followed by six more years of geological mapping in the Jambi basin, as the first non-Dutch geoscientist at the Dienst van het Mijnwezen (Geological Survey). His thoroughly documented monographs and geologic maps of his geological fieldwork in the Palembang and Jambi basins of South Sumatra, as well as the adjacent Barisan Mountains, set new standards for quality and detail.Much of the personal information on Dr. Tobler is from papers by Kugler (1930, 1963), Oppenoorth (1930), Stehlin (1931) and Hottinger (2013). This paper is one of the chapters from a new book that is being prepared by the first author, entitled Pioneers and Milestones of Indonesian Geology (~1820-1960).

Abstract

The two co-authors of the paper on Dr. J. Zwierzycki in Berita Sedimentologi 46, A. Chrzastek and A. Gorecka-Nowak requested of few corrections. None of these are related to the life and work of Dr. Zwierzycki during his time in Indonesia

Abstract

Quaternary deposits in Borneo are commonly not assigned to any formation or group and are usually not studied in great detail but are important for understanding of the Pleistocene to Holocene climate and drainage evolution. This study presents a detrital zircon provenance analysis of two possible (Plio-) Pleistocene fluvial deposits in West Sarawak, indicating two very different source areas and paleo-river drainages. Those paleo-rivers resemble the present-day drainage but show much higher energy level deposits associated with higher sedimentation rates possibly as a function of (Plio-) Pleistocene climate and hinterland exposure. The deposits at Kampung Jangkar in western West Sarawak were entirely sourced by the uplifted Pueh batholith. In contrast, sediments in Petra Jaya district (northern Kuching city) were sourced by recycling of the Kayan Sandstone near the Bungo Range in the area of the town Bau. The Petra Jaya sediments have abundant Pliocene and some Late Miocene zircons. The Niut Volcanics south of West Sarawak are of this age, but are basic and could not yield significant zircons. It is therefore concluded that zircons came from acid igneous rocks of Pliocene age, as well as the Kayan Sandstone and Middle Miocene Bau Suite igneous rocks, where they formed a highland in the Bau-Bungo Range region which has been entirely removed by erosion.

Abstract

H. Witkamp found an outcrop with Devonian Limestone in East Kalimantan in 1925. In 1989, an expedition run by Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB) reinvestigated the outcrop and concluded that the Devonian Limestones in Telen River were boulders within a Permian formation. This paper gives a wider overview on the distribution of Devonian rocks in Asia Pacific region and discusses their possible origin.Based on the distribution map of Devonian rocks in the region, the Devonian limestone in Borneo is very isolated. The closest Devonian limestones are about more than 2000 km away. Probably the Devonian limestone in Telen River has been separated away from its origin by significant tectonic movement. There are several theories and models related to the formation history of this area, which makes it very complex. To understand the origin of these limestones, the geology needs to be restored to their time and place of deposition of the Devonian limestone.

Abstract

In this paper, we compare the oldest Tertiary sedimentary sequences in the south ern margin of the South China Sea based on outcrop and well data along the Sarawak margin, northern Borneo. Paleogene rocks in Sarawak are present in three tectono stratigraphic zones and represent three depositional settings. Outcrops and deep exploration wells in the Miri Zone indicate shelfal clastics, carbonates, and clay dominated neritic sediments. In the Sibu Zone (Rajang Fold Thrust Belt), Late Cretaceous to Late Eocene deep marine clastic sediments indicate a shallowing upward of the depositional basin, which was later buried to great depths (?) and metamorphosed. In the Kuching Zone, the Kayan and Plat eau sandstones represent a fluvial dominated non marine depositional setting. There are two major unconformities within the Paleogene of Sarawak: the Rajang Unconformity, dated as approximatively 37 Ma, and the younger near Top Eocene (a.k.a. Base Oligocen e) unconformity of 33.7 Ma. The likely presence of Eocene strata in the margins of Sundaland is associated with an early phase of regional extensional tectonism, which was also observed in the Penyu and Malay basins, offshore Peninsular Malaysia, and is probably related to the onset of rifting of the South China Sea continental crust.
