“…The identification of the Ophiomorpha rudis subichnofacies within the formation samples suggested occupying the submarine fan system (Jasin and Firdaus, 2019). Supported by the identification of the lower Miocene (N4 and N5 Blow Zone) planktic foraminifera which is equivalent to its paleoenvironment (Asis, Tahir, Musta, et al, 2018b) The paleoecological system eventually originated from the photic zone environment which is the top layer that nearest to the surface of the ocean. Most of this environment is exposed to sunlight and enough light penetrates allowing for the photosynthesis process.…”

“…The research was conducted at Klias Peninsula which is underlain by Paleogene-Neogene sediment, Crocker Formation, Temburong Formation, Setap Formation and Liang Formation. A previous study had suggested that the shale unit of Temburong Formation was deposited as a distal part of a deep-sea fan deposited based on the planktonic foraminifera analysis (Asis et al, 2018a). The age of the Temburong Formation is considered at late upper Oligocene to lower Miocene (N4 to N5 zones).…”

Generally, the Temburong formation was observed for both research studies and hydrocarbon exploration. There was few research conducted on its lithostratigraphy and micropaleontological purposes in terms of research studies. However, there is no evidence suggested to observe the paleoenvironment condition of the formation based on the calcareous nannofossils occurrences. Therefore, this research was performed deliberately to identify paleoclimate prediction of Batu Luang, Klias Peninsular based on the assemblages of the calcareous nannofossils. 17 samples have been collected from a measuring section of a cutting hill along the road. Simple smear preparation was used and observed their assemblages were under the light microscope. As many as 27 species have been identified and dominantly preserved by discoasters and sphenolithus. Thus, this formation has been considered an oligotrophic condition and low latitude region due to the distribution of warm-water taxas. Plus, less contribution of cold-water taxa Coccolitus pelagicus to the formation is late Oligocene to early Miocene.

“…Madon (1997) reported the argillaceous Temburong Formation having thin sandstone units interbedded with shale and siltstones in Labuan, Sabah. The Temburong Formation in Tenom area and Klias Peninsula, SW Sabah is principally containing fine-grained turbidites (Td and Te Bouma Sequence), which are representative of basin plain facies and was interpreted as the distal part of a deep marine fan (Asis et al, 2015;2018). Abdullah et al (2017) described the Temburong Formation as deep marine shale and sandstone units located in Sipitang-Tenom area of West Sabah.…”

A timely and updated review of the Late Paleogene deep marine sedimentary successions is vital for a better understanding of the historical advances in sedimentology and stratigraphic evolution of West Sabah. The main objective of the study is to discuss the facies characteristics and depositional environment of the Late Paleogene rock formations. In addition, the stratigraphic aspects of the Paleogene interval will also be discussed. The Oligocene Temburong Formation exposed in several localities of West Sabah had been field researched with varying depositional processes and facies analysis. Moreover, the distribution of submarine fan, the observed variety of deep marine sediments associated with various sedimentary processes and the source of sediments of the co-eval West Crocker Formation were also investigated with contorted layers of mass transport deposits (MTD) reported first time in the formation. The upper and lower stratigraphic contacts of Late Paleogene formations, the age of individual rock formations and use of the term "Crocker Formation" in the literature are discussed with numerous unconformities and their stratigraphic positions in the Paleogene interval have been incorporated to understand the historical development of the Paleogene stratigraphy of the West Sabah. Owing to degrading tropical climate of the area, there are limitations and constraints on field-based research where the older outcrops are altered with housing development and dense vegetative cover. This review outlined the scientific developments and highlighted the ambiguities associated with stratigraphic placement of the Temburong and Crocker formations that still needed to be resolved to get an upgraded depiction of the Late Paleogene sediments of West Sabah.
