Variably deformed metasedimentary rocks (interbedded metaquartzite, phyllite, slate, etc.) of Paleozoic age exposed at Kg. Kuala Abang, Terengganu, are separable into two units on the basis of discernible differences in structural... more
Ferrari et al. [Ferrari, O.M., Hochard, C., Stampfli, G.M., 2008. An alternative plate tectonic model for the Palaeozoic–Early Mesozoic Palaeotethyan evolution of Southeast Asia (Northern Thailand–Burma). Tectonophysics 451, 346–365.... more
Fragmentation, drift, and amalgamation of pieces of buoyant crustal masses like arc, continent, micro-continent, and oceanic plateau are inevitable consequences of plate tectonics. Collision occurs following subduction and accretion when... more
SE Asia comprises a collage of Gondwana-derived continental blocks assembled by the closure of multiple Tethyan and back-arc ocean basins now represented by suture zones. Two major biogeographical boundaries, the Late Palaeozoic... more
The Tethys in East Asia is represented by three successive ocean basins, the Palaeo-Tethys, Meso-Tethys and Ceno-Tethys. The Palaeo-Tethys ranges in age from late Early Devonian to Middle Triassic , the Meso-Tethys from late Early Permian... more
It is proposed that the Bentong–Raub Suture Zone represents a segment of the main Devonian to Middle Triassic Palaeo-Tethys ocean, and forms the boundary between the Gondwana-derived Sibumasu and Indochina terranes. Palaeo-Tethyan oceanic... more
The older continental part of Southeast Asia is a composite of four tectonic blocks (Sibumasu, Manabor, Indochina and South China Blocks) which have had independent pre-Triassic histories. Carboniferous sediments on these blocks are... more
This review combines a wide range of onshore and offshore data from Oligocene to Pliocene sediments of northern Borneo to address the following topics: (i) the stratigraphic conditions before and after the Top Crocker Unconformity [TCU],... more
East and Southeast Asia is a complex assembly of allochthonous continental terranes, island arcs, accretionary complexes and small ocean basins. The boundaries between continental terranes are marked by major fault zones or by sutures... more
During the last decade, a wide range of geological and geophysical data has Jed to the recognition of various continental terranes in SE Asia which, on tectonostratigraphic, palaeobiogeographic and palaeomagnetic grounds are 'suspect' or... more
The Barito, Kutei, and Tarakan Basins are located in the eastern half of Kalimantan (Borneo) Island, Indonesia. The basins are distinguished by their dierent tectonic styles during Tertiary and Pleistocene times. In the Barito Basin, the... more
The Tethys in East Asia is represented by three successive ocean basins, the Palaeo-Tethys, Meso-Tethys and Ceno-Tethys. The Palaeo-Tethys ranges in age from late Early Devonian to Middle Triassic, Meso-Tethys from late Early Permian to... more
SE Asia comprises a collage of continental terranes derived directly or indirectly from the India–Australian margin of eastern Gondwana. The Late Palaeozoic and Mesozoic evolution of the region involved the rifting and separation of three... more
Eksplorasi hidrokarbon (minyak dan gasbumi - migas) di Indonesia telah dilakukan selama hampir 150 tahun, bermula pada tahun 1865. Penyelidikan geologi pun berjalan bersamaan dengan kegiatan ini, bahkan lebih awal lagi, yaitu sejak tahun... more
The evolution of eastern Pangea and Tethys during the late Palaeozoic and Mesozoic involved rifting of continental slivers/fragments from northeastern Gondwanaland, northwards drift and amalgamation/accretion to form proto East Asia.... more
East and Southeast Asia is a giant "jigsaw puzzle" of continental blocks (terranes) which are bounded by faults, narrow mobile belts or sutures that represent the sites of former ocean basins. Comparative studies of the... more

Sundaland comprises a heterogeneous collage of continental blocks derived from the India–Australian margin of eastern Gondwana and assembled by the closure of multiple Tethyan and back-arc ocean basins now represented by suture zones. The... more
Field evidence from Upper Palaeozoic and Mesozoic strata exposed in Peninsular Malaysia demonstrates that the structural style, degree and orientation of folding, axial-plane cleavage , and faulting in the Triassic, Jurassic and... more
The Phanerozoic tectonic evolution of Southeast Asia has involved the dispersion of continental terranes from the margin of Gondwanaland, their northwards drift and amalgamation/accretion to form present-day East and Southeast Asia. The... more
The principal continental lithospheric terranes that existed in the Permian, and that now comprise SE Asia, are the South China/Indochina Super Terrane, and the Sibumasu, Simao, West Burma and SW Borneo/Semitau terranes. The Simao Terrane... more
East and Southeast Asia comprises a complex assembly of continental fragments (terranes), the boundaries of which are marked by suture zones that represent the remnants or sites of former ocean basins. Late Palaeozoic data from East Asia... more
Southeast Asia is a complex assembly of allochthonous continental terranes now far removed from their original sites of origin together with island arcs, accretionary complexes and small ocean basins. The boundaries between these terranes... more
The main branch of Palaeo-Tethys in East Asia is represented by the Lancangjiang and Changning-Menglian suture zones of western China, the Nan-Uttaradit and Sra Kaeo suture zones of Thailand and the Bentong-Raub suture zone of Peninsular... more
Two contrasting parallel tectonic sutures can be recognised through the Yunnan–Thailand region of mainland Southeast Asia; they are sutures of the Devonian–Triassic Palaeo-Tethys Ocean and a Permian back-arc basin. The Changning–Menglian... more
A new lithostratigraphic subdivision for the Carboniferous sediments of the Panching area, Pahang is proposed as follows; Charu Formation (Visean-basal Namurian), Panching Limestone (Namurian A) and Sagor Formation (?Late Carboniferous).... more
Southeast Asia comprises a complex agglomeration of allochthonous terranes located at the zone of convergence between the Eurasian, Indo-Australian and Philippine Sea plates. The older continental 'core' comprises four principal terranes,... more
Southeast Asia comprises a complex assemblage of allochthonous terranes derived directly or indirectly from Gondwana Land and assembled between the Late Palaeozoic and Cenozoic. The continental "core" of the region is made up of four... more
Southeast Asia is a complex assembly of allochthonous continental terranes. Palaeontological, stratigraphical anJ palaeomagnetic data indicates that all of these terranes were derived directly or indirectly from Gondwana. Assembly of the... more
Remnants of the Palaeo-Tethys ocean are preserved within a number of suture zones that separate allochthonous continental terranes in East and Southeast Asia. The main Palaeo-Tethys ocean is represented by the Lancangjiang and... more
Southeast Asia comprises a complex assembly of continental fragments (terranes), bounded by suture zones that represent former ocean basins. ln the Early Palaeozoic (545-410 Ma), all the principal Southeast Asian continental terranes... more
Cherts and tuffaceous siltstones from the Bentong-Raub suture zone, Peninsular Malaysia, have yielded radiolarians indicating Late Devonian (Famennian) and Early Carboniferous (Tournaisian, late? Tournaisian and Visran) ages. Cerium... more
