“…Both formations were deposited in a submarine fan system. The sandstone dominated West Crocker Formation was deposited at the proximal part of the fan and fining towards the distal part where the mudstone dominated Temburong Formation was deposited (Jackson et al, 2009;Zakaria et al, 2013). The Temburong Formation is more argillaceous compared to the West Crocker Formation.…”

The Temburong Formation comprises fine grain flysch, deposited in a distal part of a submarine fan system. Twenty five taxa of ichnofossils were identified. The ichnofossils are grouped into the Nereites ichnofacies. The ichnofacies was further divided into two subichnofacies namely Paleodictyon and Ophiomorpha rudis subichnofacies. The Paleodictyon subichnofacies is characterized by a high diversity of ichnofossils, discovered in the medium to thinly bedded turbidite at a distal lobe of a submarine fan. The Ophiomorpha rudis subichnofacies contains low diversity and is commonly found in thick-bedded sandstone channels and proximal lobes of a submarine fan system. Abstrak: Formasi Temburong tediri daripada endapan "flysch" berbutir halus yang diendapkan pada bahagian hujung suatu system kipas laut dalam. Dua puluh lima taksa ichnofosil telah dikenal pasti. Ichnofosil dikelompokkan kepada ichnofasies Nereites. Ichnofasies ini dibahagi pula kepada dua subichnofasies iaitu subichnofacies Paleodictyon dan Ophiomorpha rudis. Subichnofasies Paleodictyon dicirikan oleh kepelbagaian yang tinggi ichnofosil yang ditemui dalam tubidit yang berpelapisan nipis dan sederhana di bahagian hujung cuping kipas laut dalam. Subichnofasies Ophiomopha rudis mengandungi kepelbagaian yang rendah dan sering ditemui dalam batu pasir tebal pada palung dan pangkal cuping sesuatu sistem kipas laut dalam.

“…High velocities planar laminations in some sandstone can be considered as resulting from tractive currents, while structureless sandstones can be interpreted as storm-related deposits, reflecting the waning flow regime of storm-generated currents (Brenchley et al, 1993). The occurrence of mud clasts suggests deposition under turbulent erosion of a mud-rich basin-floor (Zakaria et al, 2013). Facies association 4 was probably deposited in an offshore environment, between the fair weather wave base and the storm wave base.…”

“…They are probably due to the downslope collapse of sediments following sand accumulation related to longshore currents on the lower shoreface. This collapse phenomenon is due to instability in shallower areas, resulting from tectonic activity, seismicity or sediment oversteepening (Zakaria et al, 2013).…”

-The Tithonian-Berriasian interval in the southern part of the Neuquén Basin is represented by the Vaca Muerta and the Pic un Leuf u Formations. Facies analysis and correlation of the Vaca Muerta Formation and the lower part of the Pic un Leuf u Formation in the Pic un Leuf u Anticline allow us to characterize the evolution of successive facies belts representing siliciclastic shelf and mixed ramp environments. Shoreface and offshore facies are developed on the siliciclastic shelf in the western and southern parts of the Pic un Leuf u Anticline. The offshore transition domain is characterized by storm beds and slump features, whereas the offshore domain corresponds to black to grey shales and turbidites. The mixed siliciclastic-carbonate ramp is characterized by the development of a lagoon and high-energy shoal in the proximal part of the inner ramp, whereas the distal part comprises a tidal complex. The mid-ramp zone is characterized by storm influence and the outer ramp by fine-grained deposits. Two major transgressiveregressive sequences and five high-frequency transgressive-regressive sequences are recognized. The highfrequency transgressive-regressive sequences make up three progradational sequences, an aggradationalprogradational sequence and an aggradational sequence. The geochemical characteristics and clay mineralogy of the Tithonian-Berriasian interval in the southern Neuquén Basin indicate that (1) climate played a key role in the evolution of the sedimentary environment, (2) a "normal marine" depositional environment with oxic sea water and sediment pore waters, rapidly changing to suboxic conditions at shallow depth below the seabed and (3) the occurrence of episodically restricted water-mass circulation at the onset of deposition of the Vaca Muerta Formation.Keywords: Vaca Muerta Formation / source rocks / siliciclastic shelf / mixed siliciclastic-carbonate ramp / sequence stratigraphy / oxygenation status Résumé -Évolution paléoenvironnementale de la partie sud du bassin de Neuquèn (Argentine) pendant l'intervalle tithonien-berriasien (formations Vaca Muerta et Pic un Leuf u) : approche multiproxy. L'intervalle tithonien-berriasien de la partie méridionale du bassin Neuquén est représenté par les formations de la Vaca Muerta et de Pic un Leuf u. L'analyse de faciès et la corrélation de logs sédimentaires de la formation de la Vaca Muerta et de la partie inférieure de la formation de Pic un Leuf u dans l'anticlinal Pic un Leuf u a permis de mettre en évidence un environnement de rampe silicoclastique évoluant vers un environnement de rampe mixte. En environnement de rampe silicoclastique, les faciès de shoreface et d'offshore se localisent dans les parties ouest et sud de l'anticlinal Pic un Leuf u. La zone de transition est caractérisée par des niveaux de tempête et des niveaux déstructurés et slumpés, alors que le domaine d'offshore correspond à des marnes noires à grises ainsi qu'à des niveaux de turbidites. La rampe mixte silicoclastique-carbonatée se caractérise dans sa partie proxima...

“…The Temburong Formation is lateral variation of the West Crocker Formation. The Crocker Formation dominated by the thick turbiditic sandstone is deposited in a proximal deep-sea fan complex (Zakaria et al, 2013) whereas the Temburong Formation is more argillaceous an is deposited in the distal part of the fan. The boundary of the two formations cannot properly be drawn.…”

Lower Miocene sedimentary rocks of the Temburong Formation exposed at Kg. Assam, Menumbok, Klias Peninsula were examined for planktic foraminifera analysis. Four shale samples were collected and processes were done based on the standard micropaleontological method. This assemblage allows two local biozones to be recognized, namely the Globigerinoides primordius Zone (N4 zone) and the second assemblage belongs to the Globoquadrina dehiscens-Globoquadrina praedehiscens Zone (N5 zone). This study also indicates that the shale unit of the Temburong Formation from Kg. Assam was deposited in a distal part of a deep-sea fan environment during upper Oligocene-lower Miocene (upper Chattian-Aquitanian).
