Slump is a movement of unlithified mass sediment gravity flow from particular bathymetry into deeper zone of the sea which caused by slope instability or earthquake. The slope instability is caused by rapid mass sediment distribution. Later, it would create a steep body of sediment mass then trigger the landslide. The sliding mechanism is producing some internal deformation such as folding and thrust fault on its anatomy. Slump also might indicate the paleomorfology or paleobasin and the direction of sediment transport. Located on the eastern side of the East Jiwo Hill – Bayat, Central Java, Temas Hill is an ideal spot for observing the slump and its mechanism. The exact outcrop position is on the east side of Temas Hill and it has never been observed before. Clastic limestone with shallow marine fossil content is dominated the whole research zone. These rocks types are presenting Oyo Formation which builds the Southern Mountain of East Java stratigraphy. Three methods are used for revealing the slump. Measuring section method is used to define the stratigraphic unit and its thickness. Structural data for interpreting the transport aim, then the Paleontological analysis to reveal the source of slump material. The output of this research reveals some new information. Stratigraphically, the slump consists of many units and contain lots of Foraminifera - Globigerinid, Paleonumulites, Cycloclypeus sp in mudstone - grainstone which indicate the source of the slump. Local NW – SE normal fault presumably triggering the huge mass of sediment to move and create the slump.

The Saudi Arabian Red Sea stratigraphy consists of a variety of lithologies that range from evaporites, deep-and shallow-marine siliciclastics and carbonates, biostratigraphically constrained to range from the Late Cretaceous, Campanian, to Late Pliocene. The succession consists of pre-rift Mesozoic and Palaeogene sediments, and syn-rift and post-rift late Palaeogene and Neogene sediments. Three main episodes of shallow-marine carbonate deposition can be determined, including those of the earliest Early Miocene Musayr Formation of the Tayran Group later Early Miocene Wadi Waqb Member of the Jabal Kibrit Formation and of the Pliocene Badr Formation of the Lisan Group. The Midyan area of the northern Red Sea offers a unique window into the Cretaceous and Miocene succession that is otherwise only present in the deep subsurface. The sediments are of hydrocarbon interest because of the presence of source rocks, siliciclastic and carbonate reservoirs. The Wadi Waqb reservoir is hosted within the Wadi Waqb Member of the Jabal Kibrit Formation, and is of latest Early Miocene to possibly earliest Middle Miocene age. It is considered to have formed a fringing reef complex that formed a steep, fault-influenced margin to a narrow platform, similar to Recent coralgal reefs of the Red Sea. The Wadi Waqb Member is exposed on the east and west flanks of the Ifal Plain. The bioclasts are considered to have traveled as a submarine carbonate debris flow 25 km from their presumed source to the east and possibly the west, and consist mostly of rhodoliths, echinoid and coral fragments together with the benthonic larger foraminifera Operculinella venosa, Operculina complanata, Heterostegina depressa and Borelis melo. The planktonic foraminifera include species of Globigerina, Globigerinoides and Praeorbulina; no specimens of the Middle Miocene planktonic foraminiferal genus Orbulina have yet been encountered in the thin sections. The presence of Borelis melo melo, and of B. melo curdica within the region, indicates a latest Early Miocene age. No specimens of the age-equivalent larger benthonic foraminiferal genera Miogypsina or Lepidocyclina have been observed, and this is consistent with evidence from the Wadi Waqb equivalent carbonates elsewhere in the Red Sea and Gulf of Suez. In the east, the Wadi Waqb is represented by discontinuous fringing rhodolith and coral reefs that are welded to steep cliffs of granitic basement. In Wadi Waqb, located in hills that form the western margin to the Ifal Plain, the Wadi Waqb carbonates consist of packstones containing autochthonous planktonic foraminifera and abundant shallow-marine microfossils that are considered to have been derived from the basement-founded rhodolith and coral reefs in the east. The Wadi Waqb reservoir is located beneath the central part of the Ifal Plain, approximately midway down a ramp between the in situ rhodolith-coral reefs and the mixed allochthonous and autochthonous facies at Wadi Waqb. The reservoir contains biofacies similar to those exposed in Wadi Waqb, and indicative of a deep-marine environment, in excess of 50 m water depth. The Wadi Waqb carbonates display sedimentological and petrographic features that closely resemble those described from stratigraphically equivalent carbonates from the localities along the west coast of the Gulf of Suez, including Abu Shaar, where three depositional facies have been defined. It is apparent that these shallow-marine carbonates were established along the west and east rift margins of the Red Sea-Gulf of Suez rift complex prior to their dislocation during the Late Miocene and Pliocene by the left-lateral Aqaba faulting.

Stratigraphy and Foraminiferal Biostratigraphy of Sentolo Formation in Sedayu Area: Local Unconformity Identification in Early PlioceneThe study area is located in Sedayu District, Bantul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta Province which belongs to the Sentolo Formation. This area is an interesting place to study because there are erosional boundaries that indicate an unconformity in the Sentolo Formation. In this study, stratigraphic measurements and sampling were carried out in the field, then the samples were prepared and analyzed for the content of planktic and benthic foraminifera fossil. The results of the analysis are the determination of biozonation, paleobathimetry, and identification of sedimentation rates and unconfor-mity. From the data analysis, ware known that the Sentolo Formation in Sedayu area can be divided into three lithofacies, namely thickening upward calcareous sandstone-calcareous siltstone facies, channel calcareous sandstone-calcareous siltstone facies and thinning upward limestone facies. Based on the biostratigraphy analysis, can be divided into four biozonations, namely the PL1A, PL1B, PL1C, and PL2 zones which are included in the Early Pliocene age. There is an unconformity in the facies boundary of the channel calcareous sandstone-calcareous siltstone facies with thinning upward limestone facies, identified by the presence of an erosional boundary at that interval and also supported by sudden changes in paleobatimetry from Upper Bathyal to Middle Neritic. The sedi-mentation rate identified in this area has a value of 15.5 m / Ma which identified in the lower facies. The extrapolation results of age and sedimentation rates concluded that the unconformity occurred at 4.46-4.20 Ma, and eroded 4.03 m thick of sedimentary rocks.

The Setap Shale Formation on either side of the Baram Line Divide: Facies aspects and tectonic implications2019 •
Intermittent field work carried out over the years has revealed that the Oligocene to Miocene Setap Shale formation is of different character on either side of the (West) Baram Line in northern Sarawak. Within the Baram Delta Block (BD), the sequence contains shallow water carbonates, a green sand and siltstone rich in foraminifera and other marine biota. On the other hand, to the south of the Baram Line, in the Tinjar/Luconia Block (TL), the Setap Shale contains multiple slumps and turbidite complexes. Shallow water carbonates are missing within TL outcrops. The intriging contrast in paleo-environment and facies variations point to a complex tectonic activity likely related to the Baram Line strike-slip movements during the time of Setap Shale deposition. However, the source of the Setap Shale sediment in the northern Sarawak region remains relatively unknown, a conundrum to be resolved with further research studies.

Although long-term evolutions of isolated shallow-water carbonate platforms and demise episodes leading to guyot formation have been the subject of numerous studies during the last decades, their driving processes are still the subject of active debates. The Mozambique Channel (SW Indian Ocean) is characterized by several flat-topped seamounts ranging from 11°S to 21°S in latitudes. Based on a comprehensive geomorphologic study and on dredged samples analysis, we show that these features correspond to tropical isolated shallow-water carbonate platforms. Coupling strontium isotopy and foraminifera biostratigraphy, well-constrained chronostratigraphy results indicate that shallow-water carbonate production started in the Mozambique Channel during distinct Cenozoic periods ranging from Paleocene to Early Miocene. Our data also demonstrate that these carbonate platforms were subsequently characterized by different evolutions locally marked by tectonic and rejuvenated volcanism. While some of them kept developed until present days, forming modern carbonate systems, some others were drowned during Late Neogene and subsided to form guyots. Although different factors can be discussed, tectonic and volcanism appear as good potential triggers for demise episodes during Late Miocene-Early Pliocene times. Chronology and location of this geodynamical activity tend to emphasize influence of East African rift system until southern Mozambique Channel.

This geologic excursion is crossing several physiographic zone of Java, perpendicular to major east-west structural trends of the island. Therefore, studying physiographic expression is a transient approach to understand geological formation of a particular region and its tectonic history. This excursion starts at the northern fringe of Southern Mountains Zone, a peneplained Eocene-Miocene volcanic belt. Successively the excursion runs to the north, crosses the Solo Zone, a low land formed by modern volcanic belt of Java Island, on to Kendeng Zone, a rolling and hilly area composed of inverted deeper marine sediments. To the north, the journey continues to Randublatung Zone, a narrow depression formed at the edge of Sundaland continental platform, which is dotted by astonishing mud volcanism. The excursion will be concluded in the Rembang Zone, an inverted continental platform which hosts the Northeast Java Basin, a prolific basin in the Java Island.
The study area is located in Sirnasari area, Tanjungsari District, Bogor Regency, West Java-Indonesia and geographically located at coordinates 6 o 36'30"-6 o 39'30" Longitude and 107 o 08'15 "-107 o 10'30" Latitude. Stratigraphy of the study area consists of five lithology units (from old to young), they are mudstone unit, breccia unit, sandstone-claystone unit, Basalt unit, and Alluvial unit. The mudstone Unit was deposited in the inner to outer neritic environment dominated by wave shore face mechanism. The breccia and mudstone-sandstone units were udstone unit is equivalent to the Cibulakan Formation, while breccia and mudstone-sandstone Unit is the equivalent of the Cantayan Formation. Turbidite facies which found in this unit are classic turbidite facies that consists of thinly-bedded and thickly-bedded sandstone, massive sandstone facies, conglomerates, and debris flow facies. The facies change reflected a change of deposition environment, which is influenced by sea level change at the time of deposition.
Two Miocene sections in Cairo-Suez district at Tall Zamzam and Wadi Hommath are detailed examined for their foraminiferal, nannofossil contents and microfacies types. Wadi Hommath section is named as the Sadat Formation, while Tall Zamzam section is named as the Genefe Formation. 21species of planktonic, 20 species of benthic, 19 species of nannofossils are identified. Two zones of planktonic foraminifera and one zone of nannofossil attributed the Sadat Formation to Globigerinoides bisphericus (M4) Zone, Praeorbulina sicana (M5a) Zone and Genefe Formation to Praeorbulina glomerosa (M5b) Zone, while Helicosphaera ampliamperta Zone (NN4) of (Burdigalian-Langhian) age is recorded in the two studied secions. The identified benthic foraminifera was used to recognize three biofacies types: Nonion biofacies of inner-shelf environment, Cibicides biofacies of middle-shelf environment and Uvigerina biofacies of outer-shelf environment. Six microfacies types are identified. These successions are subdivided into three depositonal sequences of which 2 fourth order and one third order sequences.
