INTEGRATED SEDIMENTOLOGY, ICHNOLOGY AND PETROGRAPHY OF THE WEST CROCKER FORMATION (OLIGOCENE TO EARLY MIOCENE), IN NORTH KOTA KINABALU- TUARAN AREA, SABAH, MALAYSIA

The Oligocene-Early Miocene of West Crocker Formation is well exposed in the Northwest Sabah, Borneo. The integration of sedimentology, ichnology and petrography studies were carried out on seven well-exposed outcrops in this area to characterise the facies, facies associations, ichnology and pet...
