Fluvial-To-Deepwater Stratigraphy and Structure Development of Southern part of North Makassar Basin, Indonesia

Middle Eocene Palaeogeography of the Greater Makassar Strait Region, Indonesia: A Review of Eocene Source Rock Distribution

“…The structures are generally in northwest-southeast direction and remain well-preserved following major tectonics in the Plio-Pleistocene. The decollement surface and all thrust faults seem to slide on and die into the Oligocene deepwater shales (Argakoesoemah et al, 2016).…”

“…In the southern and eastern part of the North Makassar Basin, the Eocene lineament of narrow normal faults is in NNE-SSW and NW-SE directions (Nur'aini et al, 2005). The Eocene fault orientation has been wellpreserved as the Plio-Pleistocene thrust faults do not have significant impact to the Eocene horst and graben structures (Argakoesoemah et al, 2016) (Figure 7). In the South Makassar Basin, the horsts and grabens are in northwest-southeast direction including the Pangkat Graben (Kupecz et al, 2013).…”

“…The Adang fault escarpment initiation is interpreted to be present in Middle-Late Eocene and has separated proto-Barito and proto-South Makassar Basins in the southwest and proto-Kutai and North Makassar Basins in the northeast (Figure 6). The main activity of the Adang normal fault is interpreted to occur in Early Oligocene at the time of the Paternoster Platform uplift and erosion with a normal component towards north-northeast (Argakoesoemah et al, 2016).…”

“…(http://topex.ucsd.edu/kml/topo_srtm/topo_srtm.kml). The study area is in the southeastern end of the craton (Argakoesoemah et al, 2016). (Satyana, 2015).…”

“…A sketch illustrating variation of depositional sequences in syn-rift and early post-rift stages from non-marine to shallow marine to deepwater settings(Argakoesoemah et al, 2016).…”
