Abstract

In Indonesia, nannofosils are commonly used for age estimation on Miocene marine sediment, but they are rarely performed on Quaternary sediment. This paper introduces two nannofossil biozones, Martini (1971) and Backman et al. (2012) and the comparison between the two biozones. An uninterrupted interval of marine sediments was described and picked for quantitative nannoplankton analysis. The samples were taken from Ledok Formation to Lidah Formation in Pati Region, Northeast Java Basin. The samples were prepared by quick smear slides method and and analyzed by quantitative field of view method. Martini (1971) biozone can be used to subdivide the Late Miocene–Pleistocene sediments into 5 biozones, but Backman et al. (2012) can be used to classify the same sediments into 8 biozones. The biozone subdivision from Backman et al. (2012) is more detailed than that of Martini (1971) because an updated dating and biozone in the three new dating zone data.

Abstract

Since Darwin’s postulated the origin of the human species from an ape-like ancestor, the search for the missing link between ape and human had begun. In 1887, Eugene Dubois traveled from the Netherlands to Indonesia to search for the missing link. He eventually discovered human fossils in Wajak, Kedungbrubus, and Trinil to which he named Pithecanthropus erectus. The research was then continued by Ter Haar (1931) in Ngandong, Dujfyes, and his assistant, Andoyo (1936) in Perning, Mojokerto, and Von Koenigswald (1936-1940) in Sangiran, who successfully discovered many Homo erectus fossils. Since the 1960s, Sartono (ITB), T. Jacob (UGM), and Geological Research and Development Centre (Indonesia) continue the study, adding the collection of the specimens. Collaboration with the National Museum of Science and Nature, Tokyo concluded that Indonesian Homo erectus went through local evolution instead of static evolution condition. Indonesia is rich in natural resources and environmental conditions that were suitable for the evolution of early humans as shown by the discovery of several Homo erectus skeleton fossils that were not found in most other countries. This is a blessing left by early humans to us.

Abstract

Several major discoveries in the eastern part of Indonesia (e.g. Tangguh and Abadi) have increased more petroleum exploration interest in the area. These sizeable discoveries encountered gas in the Jurassic sandstone, which is a key reservoir target in the Northwest Shelf of Australia. The Mesozoic sandstone provenance is located in the Australian Continental Plate or also known as the Sahul Shelf. Thousands of wells were drilled in the Sahul Shelf and the stratigraphy in this area is well understood. The extension of the Mesozoic sandstone towards Indonesian territory, with much less well information, is one of the keys of success for petroleum exploration. Refinement of the stratigraphy of the eastern part of Indonesia is crucial to understand the extension.To refine the stratigraphy of Eastern Indonesia, especially for the Mesozoic interval, dinoflagellates play a significant role. Several types of this marine biota have been used by Australian stratigraphers as markers. In the case where stratigraphic tie to Northwest Shelf Australia discoveries, key wells or standard chronostratigraphy, dinoflagellate understanding is critical.Dinoflagellate markers are used to mark several subdivisions of Plover Sandstone. Norvick (2001) used W. indotata and D. caddaensis Maximum Flooding Surfaces to subdivide the reservoir target into upper, middle and lower Plover Formation. These surfaces are named after dinoflagellates. More markers were identified to mark the source rock and seal in the petroleum system. To have a detail correlation from Indonesia to the NW Shelf, understanding of dinoflagellates is crucial.

Abstract

Goa Tenggar or Tenggar Cave is situated in the karstic physiography of southern Tulungagung, East Java that made up of prehistoric caves. These include the Wajak complex (minimum age of 37.4 to 28.5 thousand years ago) and the Song Gentong (around 7000 BP). The formation of Tenggar Cave is influenced by the subterranean river that penetrates the limestone unit. This cave has a front width of ± 10 m and a roof height of ± 8 m. The east side of the cave floor is a layer of soil, and the western side is the river. The inside of the cave composed by very compact conglomerate deposits and paleosoil that contains faunal remains, including Cervus sp., Bos sp., Bubalus sp., and Bibos sp., which may have occurred during the Pleistocene. The fossilized faunal remains from Tenggar Cave show that there was a relatively open environment during that time, such as a savannah with large trees and flowing rivers around the cave. The paleoenvironment indicates late Pleistocene to early Holocene period, similar to paleoenvironment in the Sewu Mountains that stretch along the southern part Java from central to the eastern tip of the island includes the coastal towns of Gunung Kidul, Pacitan and Tulungagung. The situation is certainly a point of interest when associating the findings with the surrounding sites, starting from Wajak, Song Gentong, Pacitan, Ponorogo, and Gunung Kidul. However, absolute dating test is necessary to be more certain of the lifetime of the fossilized fauna. If the fossils were from the Late Pleistocene, it could be an important information for the fields of paleontology, paleoanthropology, and prehistoric archaeology given that the occurrence of sites with such antiquity are limited in Southeast Asia. It is essential to conduct intensive research in Tenggar Cave in the future.

Abstract

We report on results from surveys undertaken in Sumatra during 2018 and 2019. The surveys had three objectives: (1) to examine, sample, and record the extensive Quaternary fossil deposits from caves in West Sumatra; (2) determine the potential for fluvial deposits in Riau and Jambi provinces; and (3) relocate the fossil proboscidean remains reported from Bangka Island. Our surveys produced several significant results. We mapped three important Padang Highland caves, Ngalau Lida Ajer, Ngalau Sampit, and Ngalau Gupin, locating and sampling the main fossil deposits in each, as well as recording additional caves in the region. Our surveys of the fluvial systems in central-west Sumatra did not reveal any vertebrate Pleistocene deposits but did yield Mio-Pliocene trace fossils. Finally, we relocated elephant fossils from Bangka, but no in situ vertebrate remains could be found. These finds add important new data to the geological history of Sumatra.

Abstract

Recent global warming has been addressed due to human activity that causes increased greenhouse gases. However, there are inherent uncertainties in the statement, one of them is the level of natural variability inherent in the climate system. Climate data from measuring instruments are not long enough to evaluate climate variability and current climate evolution. Therefore, we need climate data that has a long back span. To get adequate past climate data, we need natural phenomena which are climate dependent. This natural phenomenon provides a proxy record of the climate. This study of proxy data is the foundation of palaeoclimatology and paleoceanography. Microfossils (i.e., foraminifera, palynomorphs, nannofossils) which in geology are used as a standard tool in biostratigraphy for both age determination and paleoenvironment and correlation, can also be used as a proxy for obtaining paleoclimate and paleoceanography data. Using microfossil as a proxy to study past climate and paleoceanography, we need an understanding of the type of proxy data available and methods used in their analysis.In addition to the dating method (biostratigraphy), there are many climate and oceanography parameters that can be obtained from microfossil proxies such as: sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface salinity, (SST) climate (warm, cold, dry, wet), precipitation, productivity, oxygen content and organic carbon level, deep sea current and ventilation/upwelling, thermocline and mixed layer, variability deep water properties, CCD, bathymetry, sea level change and dissolution. The methods to obtain data fall into some categories e.g., faunal/floral displacement, morphology changes, transfer function/modern analog and isotopic content. Another method that can be used is observing microfossil assemblages and link them to ecological changes associated with climate change and its paleoceanography.A paleoclimate and paleoceanography study using microfossil proxies has been conducted in the Cendrawasih bay, Papua, Indonesia. The study shows that climate in the tropical west Pacific margin (Cendrawasih bay) during Late Pleistocene to Holocene shows high variability. There are nineteen climate changes occurred during Holocene. Early Holocene dated as ca. 11,800-year BP marked by rapid warming with SST differences to last glacial is about 4oC. Early to Middle Holocene (ca. 5960-year BP) marked by increasing temperature up to 2oC, interrupted by cooling at ca. 11230-, 8310- and 7120-years BP. At Middle Holocene temperature decreased rapidly and reached its peak at around ca. 3150-year BP. After cooling at ca. 3150-year BP, temperature increased and then decreased with its peak at ca. 1710-year BP. Since ca. 1710-year BP to Recent, temperature shows warming trend. SST from MAT indicates warming environment near to 1.5oC. The warming trend was interrupted by rapid cooling and warming at ca. 300-year BP. This last warming trend indicates that global warming had started before industrial era and rapid cooling, or warming can occur without anthropogenic gases influence. The typical Holocene climate of warm-wet, dry-cold reverse and become warm-dry, cold-wet during ca. 790-370-year BP and then reversed back to preceding state.Semi-restricted basin occurred since last glacial with anaerobic condition and estuarine circulation system. Warming during interstadial 1e-1a, causing reverse water circulation and basin become sub-aerobic with anti-estuarine circulation. A lot of terrestrial organic matter flow to the bay and increase acidity and carbonate dissolution. High sedimentation found occurred during glacial period especially at the end of glacial period. Rapid warming during late glacial to middle Holocene, rising relative sea level and the bay become more open marine with well oxygenated bottom water and high marine productivity. Warm temperature and deeper thermocline depth (~ 250 m) in west Pacific occurred up to ca. 5960-year BP. Decreasing Sea surface temperature at ca. 5960-year BP and drop of relative sea level causing sub-aerobic condition inside bay. The semi-restricted state with sub-aerobic condition occurred up to Recent.Distribution of Sphaeroidinella group in the tropical west Pacific shows strong correlation with thermocline depth and reflect El Niño frequency event. Early middle Holocene dominated by La Niña-like condition and since Middle Holocene (ca. 5960-year BP) frequent El Niño event began to occur.

Abstract

Skull IX (Tjg-1993.05) was found in Sangiran, Central Java, in 1993, and is now stored at the Institute of Technology, Bandung. It is a remarkably complete fossil cranium of Homo erectus. It is one of the six H. erectus crania from the early Pleistocene of Java that preserves a nearly complete vault and is the third Javanese H. erectus crania with a substantial part of the facial skeleton preserved. After preliminary studies by late Prof. Sartono and other researchers, our team, led by Prof. Yahdi Zaim, had an opportunity to re-reconstruct and fully describe the specimen during 2008-2010. In this paper, I introduce how we corrected the distorted original reconstruction and summarize the specimen’s implications for the Homo erectus evolution in and outside Indonesia. Skull IX closely resembles Sangiran 17 and other Javanese H. erectus crania from the same stratigraphic level. The neurocranium of Skull IX is slightly smaller than the so-far-recorded smallest cranium from this zone, suggesting this individual was female. The face exhibits some “Asian” features, which highlights regional variation in Afro-Asian archaic members of Homo.

Abstract

Yogyakarta, Indonesia is known for its kingdom government system for all its living history; since 8-10th century Mataram Hindu-Buddhist temples to the present Muslim Ngayogyokarto Hadiningrat. Those stretch of history resulted in many artefacts and chronicles. A cultural imaginary line that linking Merapi Volcano in the north and the Indian Ocean in the south through the Yogyakarta Palace in the middle has a sacral geo-cultural heritage, explaining a prosperity gentle volcanic town, a beautiful scheme of the open panoramic features with several temples standing on the plain and mountainous landscapes in between the rest of earthquakes and the volcanic eruptions. Many temples were partly buried under volcanic materials, and some others show evidence of being shaken several times by earthquakes. Boulders of volcanic materials varying in size and shapes are present in the plain of Yogyakarta, near Cangkiringan, Ngemplak and Ngaglik. Landslides exposed many geological features, such as faults, rock formation and stratigraphy, and some unstable slopes. Cultural and geological heritages at Yogyakarta Region were created over the time.
