Abstrak-Sebanyak 13 spesies fosil ammonoid berusia Trias Tengah telah ditemui dari dua singkapan batuan sedimen Formasi Telong. Singkapan-singkapan ini terletak dalam Felda Aring 5, di sepanjang jalanraya yang menghubungi Bandar Gua Musang dan Kuala Berang. Lokaliti-lokaliti ini mengandungi dua himpunan ammonoid yang boleh dikorelasikan dengan Zon Ammonoid Piawai bagi rantau Tethys. Lokaliti QZ480 mengandungi empat spesies ammonoid iaitu Balatonites cf. B. balatonicus, Danubites kansa, Kellnerites samneuensis, Hollandites sp. dan Acrocordiceras sp., manakala lokaliti QZ467 pula mengandungi lapan spesies iaitu Frankites regoledanus, Frankites apertus, Celtites epolensis, Clionitites sp., Protrachyceras costulatum, Anolcites sp., Joannites sp. dan Megaphyllites jarbas. Secara biostratigrafinya, himpunan ammonoid lokaliti QZ480 mencirikan Subzon Balatonicus bagi Zon Balatonites yang berusia Anisian tengah manakala himpunan ammonoid lokaliti QZ467 pula mencirikan Subzon Regoledanus bagi Zon Protrachyceras yang berusia akhir Ladinian. Berdasarkan korelasi, kajian ini menyokong idea yang menyatakan bahawa kawasan kajian yang boleh dikorelasikan dengan Lembangan Trias Lampang-Phrae terletak dalam Terain Sukhothai dalam Blok Shan-Thai kepunyaan mandala Cathaysian. Himpunan-himpunan fosil ammonoid ini mempunyai nilai warisan saintifik yang tinggi khususnya dalam peranannya sebagai penanda usia yang baik pada zaman Trias.Abstract-Some 13 species of Middle Triassic ammonoid fossils were discovered from two outcrops of sedimentary rocks belonging to the Telong Formation. The outcrops are located within the Felda Aring 5, along the road connecting Gua Musang Town and Kuala Berang. These two localities contained two ammonoid assemblages that are correlatable with the Standard Ammonoid Zone of the Tethyan region. Locality QZ480 contains four ammonoid species i.e. Balatonites cf.
Many small invertebrate fossils have been recently discovered in two locations in Aring area, Gua Musang district, Kelantan, Malaysia. The fossils found in the area have been identified based on the previous studies. A joint effort of Universiti Malaysia Kelantan and the Depertment of Minerals and Geoscience Malaysia Kelantan has been initiated to conserve the fossils and paleontological sites as geoheritage resources in the state of Kelantan. Field works have been conducted to observe the recent situation and to identify the threats to the fossil sites. Some literatures have been reviewed to study the examples of the conservation of fossils and fossil sites in some other coutries. This paper will expose fossil occurrences in the study area and discuss some threats to these fossil sites. In addition, this study will also propose an idea to conserve these sites by setting up a paleontological field museum in the vicinity of Aring.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
