Wonosegoro is part of western Kendeng Zone, the depocenter of North East Java Basin that is mainly filled with thick pelagic and volcaniclastic sediments. Sandstones lithofacies is presence within the research area and may act as a useful tool to reach the aim of this research, which is to determine the provenance. The research has conducted field observation, petrographic analysis on seven thin sections of sandstones from the field, and bathymetry interpretation from benthic foraminifera. Overall, the sandstones are predominantly composed of lithic components (72.73%-88.05%) and significant matrix (25%-50%), thus classified as lithic greywacke. The combination of quartz-feldspar-lithic (QFL) and the heavy minerals composition suggest that the sandstone provenance in research area is a product of Oligo-Miocene volcanic of southern mountain range.
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.
