Sedimentology of the Early Neogene Sarawak Basin (Onshore at Tatau Town to RumahSupitAkSeriang), Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia

This study focuses on the geology of the Neogene rocks of Sarawak Basin that overlies the unconformity on top of the Belaga Formation at Tatau Town to RumahSupitAkSeriang with the focal study on sedimentology to acquire a detailed analysis on the facies of the Tatau formation, and to evaluate...
