Fracture System of Pulau Pinang Marine Park of Pulau Redang

The Pinang Formation of Pulau Pinang Marine Park of Redang Island is characterised by sediments which have been metamorphosed by the adjacent granitic intrusion. Contact metamorphism has transformed an interbedded sequence of sandstone and black shale into metasediments, quartzite and hornfels. T...
