“…During the last two sea-level cycles (18e240 ka; Fig. 12), the shelf margin was dominated by carbonate buildups and little sand-rich sediments was transported over the upper Pleistocene shelf margins in either the north or central areas (Roberts and Sydow, 2003;Saller et al, 2004Saller et al, , 2011. Hence, seismic correlations, as well as thickness, suggest that most of the draping interval in the central area as well as the northern area accumulated after the 240 ka lowstand of sea level.…”

“…The northern slope was also subjected to toe-thrusting during the late Miocene (w5 to 10 Ma); however, slope valleys and canyons did not form then (Redhead et al, 2000). Substantial amounts of siliciclastic sediment moved across the northern shelf during the late Miocene (Saller et al, 2011) suggesting that sediment supply, not tectonics is controlling development of slope valleys and canyons.…”

“…These general sedimentologic patterns have apparently existed for the last 5 Ma (Holbourn et al, 2003). As a result, the northern shelf margin has been carbonate dominated and backstepping for the last 5 Ma (Saller et al, , 2011.…”

“…Strong storms rarely occur in these equatorial latitudes (Gray, 1968;Anthes, 1982) and hence, little sediment movement occurs on the shelf associated with storm currents. North of the Mahakam delta, carbonates developed on the outer shelf because siliciclastic sediment supply was relatively small (Saller et al, 2011). In the northern area, small drainages supplied minor amounts of sediment during the Pleistocene, and those latest Pleistocene shorelines generally stopped to the west of the underlying carbonatedominated shelf margin, and hence most of the sediments did not reach the slope (Roberts and Sydow, 2003;Saller et al, 2004).…”

“…Drowned platforms are common in the geologic record (Schlager, 1981;Chappell, 1983), and there are many good examples for carbonate platform initiation/growth, as well as drowning as a direct response of sea-level fluctuations with possible environmental influences summarised in literature. Such examples include studies of the Porong carbonate buildups (Kusumastuti et al, 2002) and Kujung platforms of East Java (Posamentier et al, 2010), the Kutei platforms of Kalimantan (Saller et al, 2010), the Miocene platforms of Luconia Province (Zampatti et al, 2004;Zampetti, 2010) and the Malampaya platforms of the Philippines (Warrich et al, 2010). Noted some studies are specifically focussed on the history of coral reef development in the Quaternary (e.g., DiCaprio et al, 2010;van Woesik et al, 2015 and references providing therein).…”

Carbonate banks and ramps on the northern shore of Palaeogene and Early Neogene Borneo: Observations and implications on stratigraphy and tectonic evolution

Following the intense Palaeocene-Early Eocene Sarawak Orogeny (around 40-36 Ma), the South China Sea engulfed the northern shore of Borneo in present-day NW Sarawak, enveloping both the Luconia/Tinjar terrains and also rimmed the recently emerged and eroding Rajang Group hinterlands on the northern Borneo shore. With prevailing inner neritic depositional environment at that time, benthic foraminiferal limestone banks and ramps developed on sheltered shoals, separated from each other by clastic fairways with turbiditic channel deposits. By Early-Middle Oligocene times, carbonate deposition slowed as a consequence of increased subsidence and or, less likely, of a strongly global rising sealevel. After a pause in which clastics dominated the area, a second carbonate system formed during the Early-Middle Miocene times. These carbonates contain the first hard evidence of small bioherms, mainly corals and coralline algae. However, in the study area, there is not a single outcrop or well which shows an uninterrupted carbonate sequence from the Palaeogene to the Neogene. In addition, it is believed that the palaeo-edge of the platforms today lies somewhat masked by tectonic events, in particular, by a Late Miocene to Early Pliocene fold and thrust belt. Consequently, we believe, that both the Eo-Oligocene and Early-Middle Miocene carbonate systems are independent, not linked or vertically interconnected. Arguably, the presence of carbonates in two distinct systems points to a deepening, and later shallowing in a mega cycle. Within the mentioned hypothesis, the Eo-Oligocene carbonate system was formed during the deepening of the NW Borneo foredeep, whereas the Lower-Middle Miocene carbonates originated as the foredeep shallowed. The latter eventually disappeared with the establishment of a shallow, clastic shelf.

The carbonate‐dominated successions of the Tirgan Formation (Latest Barremian‐Early Aptian) in the Kopet‐Dagh Basin (Iran) were studied to decipher the tectonic and eustatic sea‐level effects, as well as the autogenic influence on lateral and vertical facies changes, depositional environment, and sequence stratigraphy of the tide‐wave‐dominated sediments at the northern margin of the Neo‐Tethys Ocean. Fourteen facies were identified in the studied sequences, here grouped into five facies associations according to the depositional setting: tidal flat (A), lagoon (B), shoal (C), shallow open‐marine (D), and deep‐open marine (E). A third‐order depositional sequence, including a transgressive system tract (TST) and a highstand system tract (HST) was also identified, along with several medium‐ and small‐scale, thickening‐ and shallowing‐upward cycles (parasequences). The development of the depositional sequence and parasequences of the studied successions of the Tirgan Formation were controlled by interactions between allogenic (tectonic and eustasy) and autogenic factors (wave and tidal hydrodynamic regimes). The allogenic factors mainly affected the stacking pattern and parasequence development of the TST deposits in the lower part of the Tirgan Formation, characterized mainly by the deep‐open marine association. Autogenic factors display a main influence on the stacking pattern and formation of the HST deposits and related parasequences, characterized by shallow open‐marine‐lagoon–shoal associations developed in the upper part of the Tirgan Formation. The tectono‐sedimentary model for the evolution of the tide‐wave‐dominated carbonate platform represented by the Tirgan Formation may be useful for further studies on sedimentary basin evolution or palaeogeographic reconstructions of the Neo‐Tethys margin.
