The Geology of Indonesia/Sulawesi 1
The Geology of Indonesia/Sulawesi

Geologically, Sulawesi Island and its surrounding area is a complex region. The complexity
was caused by convergence between three lithospheric plates: the northward-moving
Australian plate, the westward-moving Pacific plate, and the south-southeast-moving
Eurasia plate. Regional structures, which affects the island of Sulawesi and the surrounding
area, are shown in Figure 8.1. The Makassar Strait, which separates the Sunda Platform
(part of the Eurasia Plate) from the South Arm and Central Sulawesi, formed by sea-floor
spreading originating in the Miocene (Hamilton, 1979, 1989; Katili, 1978, 1989). North of
the island is the North Sulawesi Trench formed by the subduction of oceanic crust from the
Sulawesi Sea. To the southeast convergence has occurred between the Southeast Arm and
the northern part of the Banda Sea along the Tolo Thrust (Silver et al., 1983a, b). Both
major structures (the North Sulawesi Trench and Tolo Thrust) are linked by the
Palu-Koro-Matano Fault system. Based on lithologic association and tectonic development,
Sulawesi and its surrounding islands are divided into 3 geological provinces (Fig. 8.2): (1)
the Western Sulawesi Volcanic Arc; (2) the Eastern Sulawesi Ophiolite Belt and its
associated pelagic sedimentary covers; and (3) continental fragments derived from the
Australian continent (Hamilton, 1978, 1979; Sukamto and Simandjuntak, 1983; Metcalfe,
1988, 1990; Audley-Charles and Harris, 1990; Audley-Charles, 1991; Davidson, 1991). The
contacts between those provinces are faults.
8.1.WESTERN SULAWESI VOLCANIC ARC

The Western Sulawesi Volcanic Arc extends from South Arm through the North Arm (Fig.
8.2). In general, the arc consists of Paleogene-Quaternary plutonic-volcanic rocks with
Mesozoic - Tertiary sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks. In this chapter the
stratigraphy is divided into South Sulawesi and North Sulawesi system.
8.1.1. SOUTH SULAWESI
The Geology of eastern and western South Sulawesi is distinctly different, and these two
areas are separated by the NNW-SSE trending Walanae Depression. South Sulawesi is
structurally separated from the rest of the Western arc of Sulawesi by a NW-SE trending
depression which passes through Lake Tempe (Fig 8.3, van Leeuwen, 1981). Figure 8.4 is a
compilation of the formation names and ages of lithologies in South Sulawesi, used by
various workers. For reference a geological map and the stratigraphy of South Sulawesi are
presented in Fig 2.4 & 2.6. The following sections describe the geology of South Sulawesi
through time.
8.1.1.1. Mesozoic basement complex
The basement complex is exposed in two areas: in the western half of South Sulawesi near
Bantimala and Barru, and consists of metamorphic, ultramafic and sedimentary rocks (Fig.
8.4). Metamorphic lithologies include amphibolite, eclogite, mica-schists, quartzites,
chlorite-feldspar and graphite phyllites (t’Hoen & Zeigler, 1917; Sukamto, 1975; 1982;
Berry & Grady, 1987). K/Ar dating on muscovite-garnet and quartz- muscovite schists, both
from the Bantimala basement complex yielded 111 Ma (Obradovich, in Hamilton, 1979) and
115 + 7 Ma (Parkinson, in Hasan, 1991) respectively. Wakita et al.,(1994) have dated five
schist samples from the Bantimala complex and one from Barru complex using K/Ar
analyses and yielded an age of 132- l 14 Ma and 106 Ma respectively. This data suggests a
late early Cretaceous age for the emplacement of the basement in south Sulawesi. The
sequence unconformably overlying and tectonically intercalated with the metamorphic
lithological units consists of red and grey siliceous shales, feldspathic sandstones and
siltstones, radiolarian cherts, serpentinized peridotite, basalt and diorites (Sukamto, 1975;
1982; Hamilton, 1979; van Leeuwen, 1981; Wakita et al., 1994). Radiolaria extracted from
the cherts have been dated as late Albian (latest early Cretaceous: Pessagano, in Sukamto,
1975) or late Albian to early Cenomanian (Wakita et al., 1994). The presence of similar
metamorphic rocks in Java, the Meratus mountains in SE Kalimantan and Central Sulawesi
suggest that the basement complex in south Sulawesi may be a dismembered fragment of a
larger early Cretaceous accretionary complex (Parkinson, 1991).
8.1.1.2. Late Cretaceous sedimentation
The late Cretaceous sediments include the Balangbaru (Sukamto, 1975;1982; Hasan, 1991)
and Marada Formations (van Leeuwen, 1981) in the western and eastern parts of west
South Sulawesi respectively (Fig. 8.4). The Balangbaru Formation unconformably overlies
the basement complex and is composed of interbedded sandstones and silty-shales, with
less important conglomerates, pebbly sandstones and conglomeratic breccias (Sukamto,
1975; 1982; Hasan, 1991). The Marada Formation consists of an arenaceous succession of
alternating impure sandstones, siltstones and shales (van Leeuwen, 1981). The sandstone
are mostly feldspathic greywacke which are locally calcareous composed of subangular to
angular grains of quartz, plagioclase, and orthoclase with subordinate biotite, muscovite
and angular lithic fragments embedded in a matrix of clay minerals, chlorite and sericite
(van Leeuwen, 1981). Graded bedding is occasionally present in sandstone and the
sandstone and siltstone. Coarser units of the Balangbaru Formation contain sedimentary
structures typical of gravity flow deposits, including the chaotic fabric of debris flows,
graded bedding and sole marks indicative of turbidites (Hasan, 1991). The lithologies and
fauna of the Balangbaru and contemporaneous Marada Formations to the east (van
Leeuwen, 1981; Sukamto, 1982) are typical of an open marine, deep neritic to bathyal
environment (van Leeuwen, 1981; Sukamto, 1982; Hasan, 1991). The Marada Formation is
interpreted to be the distal equivalent of the Balangbaru Formation, based on lithological
and grain size considerations (van Leeuwen, 1981). The tectonic setting of the Balangbaru
Formation is interpreted to be a small fore-arc basin on the trench slope (Hasan, 1991).
8.1.1.3. Paleocene volcanism
Volcanics of Paleocene age occur in restricted areas of the eastern part of South Sulawesi
and unconformably overlie the Balangbaru Formations (Sukamto, 1975). In the Bantimala
region these volcanics have been called Bua Volcanics (Sukamto, 1982); Langi Volcanics in
Biru area (van Leeuwen, 1981; Yuwono et al., 1988). This formation consists of lavas and
pyroclastic deposits of andesitic to trachy-andesitic composition with rare intercalations of
limestone and shale towards the top of the sequence (van Leeuwen, 1981; Sukamto, 1982).
Fission track dating of a tuff from the lower part of the sequence yielded a Paleocene age of
+ 63 Ma (van Leeuwen, 1981). The calc-alkaline nature, and enrichment of certain light
rare earth elements, suggests that the volcanics were subduction related (van Leeuwen,
1981; Yuwono, 1985), probably from a west dipping subduction zone (van Leeuwen, 1981).
8.1.1.4. Eocene to Miocene volcanism and sedimentation
The Malawa Formation is composed of arkosic sandstones, siltstones, claystones, marls and
conglomerates, intercalated with layers or lenses of coal and limestone. This formation
occurs in the western part of South Sulawesi and unconformably overlies the Balangbaru
Formation and locally the Langi Volcanics (Fig. 2.5, Sukamto, 1982). A Palaeogene age for
this formation is inferred from palynomorphs (Khan & Tschudy, in Sukamto, 1982) whilst
ostracods suggest an Eocene age (Hazel, in Sukamto, 1982). The Malawa Formation is
inferred to have been deposited in a terrestrial/marginal marine environment passing
transgressively upwards into a shallow marine environment (Wilson, 1995). The Tonasa
Limestone Formation conformably overlies the Malawa Formation or the Langi Volcanics.
This Formation consists of four members ’A’, ’B’, ’C’ and ’D’ from bottom to top. The ’A’
member comprises well bedded calcarenite, the ’B’ member is composed of thickly-bedded
to massive limestone, the ’C’ member consists of a thick sequence of detrital limestone with
abundant foraminifera and the ’D’ member is characterised by the abundant presence of
volcanic material and limestone olistoliths of various ages (van Leeuwen, 1981; Sukamto,
1982). The age of the Tonasa Formation is Eocene to middle Miocene (van Leeuwen, 1981;
Sukamto, 1982; Wilson, 1995). A ramp type margin is inferred for the southern margin of
the Tonasa Formation, and the Tonasa Carbonate Platform is composed mainly of shallow
water facies, whilst redeposited facies predominated the northern margin (Wilson, 1995).
The Malawa and Tonasa Formations have a widespread distribution over the western part
of South Sulawesi (Wilson, 1995). These formations do not outcrop east of the Walanae
Depression (Fig. 2.4.) apart from a small outcrop of the Tonasa Limestone Formation at
Maborongnge (Sukamto, 1982; Wilson, 1995). The Salo Kalupang Formation is present in
the eastern part of South Sulawesi (Fig. 2.4). This formation consists of sandstones, shales
and claystones interbedded with volcanic conglomerates, breccias, tuffs, lavas, limestones
and marls (Sukamto, 1982). Based on foraminifera dating techniques, the age of the Salo
Kalupang Formation is believed to range from the early Eocene to the Late Oligocene
(Kadar, in Sukamto, 1982 and Sukamto & Supriatna, 1982). This formation is
contemporaneous with the Malawa Formation and the lower part of the Tonasa Formation
(Sukamto, 1982). The Kalamiseng Formation outcrops to the east of the Walanae
Depression (Fig. 2.4) and comprises of volcanic breccias and lavas, in the form of pillow
lavas or massive flows. These are interbedded with tuffs, sandstones and marls (Sukamto,
l982; Sukamto & Supriatna, 1982; Yuwono et al., 1987). The lavas are characterised by
spillitic basalts and diabases which have been metamorphosed to a greenschist facies
(Yuwono et al., 1988). The Bone mountains have been interpreted as part of an ophiolitic
sequence based on high gravity anomalies and the marine MORB nature (Yuwono et al.,
1988). K/Ar dating on pillow lavas of the Kalamiseng Formation gave late Eariy Miocene
ages (17.5+ -0.88 and 18.7+ -0.94, Yuwono et al., 1988) and this may represent an
emplacement age of the suggested ophiolitic suite (Yuwono et al., 1988). Intrusive bodies
are exposed in the eastern part of the Biru area and Tonasa-I (Sukamto, l982) where dating
by fission track yielded an age of Early Miocene (van Leeuwen, 198l). Yuwono et al., (1987)
relate these intrusive bodies to calc-alkaline volcanics in the lower member of Camba
Formation and suggests that both were derived from early Miocene subduction. However,
this is inconsistent with a mid- Miocene (Sukamto & Supriatna, l982) or middle to late
Miocene age (Sukamto, 1982) suggested by foraminifera in marine sediments interbedded
with the volcaniclastics. The lower member of the Camba Formation consists of tuffaceous
sandstone, interbedded with tuff, sandstone, claystones, volcanic conglomerates and
breccia, marls, limestones and coals (Sukamto, 1982; Sukamto & Supriatna, 1982). The
Bone Formation has been reported by Grainge & Davies (1985) from the Kampung Baru-I
well in the Sengkang area (Fig. 2.5) where it comprises bioclastic wackestone and fine
grained planktonic foraminifera packstones interbedded with calcareous mudstone. The
limestones have been dated as early Miocene (N6-N8) in age (Grainge & Davies, 1985).
8.1.1.5. Miocene to Recent volcanism and sedimentation
The upper member of the Camba Formation described here as the Camba Volcanics, is
located in the Western Divide Range forming the ’backbone’ (Fig. 2.4). This member
consists of volcanic breccias and conglomerates, lavas and tuffs interbedded with marine
sediments (Sukamto, 1982; Sukamto & Supriatna, 1982). Foraminiferal dating suggests a
middle to late Miocene age (Sukamto, 1982) for the Camba Volcanics. The Lemo Volcanics
unconformably overlie the upper Miocene Walanae Volcanics in the Biru area (van
Leeuwen, 1981), K/Ar dating for Lemo Volcanics yielded an age of Pliocene (Yuwono, et al.,
1988). Although Sukamto (1982) included the Lemo Volcanics as part of the Camba
Volcanics, this is unlikely since the age range of Camba Volcanics is only up to the late
Miocene. The lower part of Camba Volcanics (Fig. 2.5) is thought to be equivalent to the
mid- Miocene Sopo Volcanics in the Biru area (van Leeuwen, 1981). The upper part of the
Camba Volcanics is thought to be analogous to the Pammesurang Volcanics from the Biru
area, described by van Leeuwen (1981). Yuwono et al., (1988) subdivided the Camba
Volcanics into two members: Camba IIa of alkali potassic nature and Camba IIb of alkali
ultrapotassic nature. Based on K/Ar dating the age of the Camba II Volcanics is determined
as late Miocene (9.91 + 0.5 Ma – 6.27 + -0.31 Ma, Yuwono et al., 1988). The volcanic units
of Miocene to Pleistocene age in South Sulawesi have been discussed by Yuwono et al.,
(1987). These includes the Baturape volcanics, a series of alkali potassic extrusive and
intrusive lithologies, where K/Ar analyses yields 12.8 + 0.64 Ma (mid Miocene, Yuwono et
al., l988); the Cindako volcanics have the same characteristics as the Baturape Volcanics,
but K/Ar dating yielded an age of 8.2+ 0.4l Ma for the Cindako Volcanics (late Miocene,
Yuwono et al., 1987). These two volcanic units are grouped together by Sukamto (l982) who
suggested an upper Pliocene age on the basis that they both unconformably overlie the
Camba Formation. The Soppeng Volcanics are inferred to have a late Miocene age (Yuwono
et al., 1987), however, Sukamto (1982) interpreted these volcanics as early Miocene in age
since they are conformably overlain by rocks of the Camba Formation. The Parepare
Volcanics are remnants of a strato-volcano composed of alternating lava flows and
pyroclastic breccias dated by K/Ar analyses as late Miocene (Yuwono et al., 1987). The
lavas are intermediate to acidic in composition (Yuwono et al., 1987). The Plio/Pliestocene
volcanics of the strato volcano of Lompobatang occupies the southern-most portion of south
Sulawesi rising to a height of 2,871 m. These volcanics consist of silica undersaturated in
alkali potassic and more acidic silica saturated shoshonitic lava flows and pyroclastic
breccias (Yuwono et al,, 1987). The mid-Miocene to Pleistocene volcanic rocks in South
Sulawesi, including the upper member of the Camba Formation, have a predominantly
alkaline nature, interpreted by Yuwono et al., (1987), as a result of partial melting of the
upper mantle (phlogoplite- bearing peridotite) which was previously enriched in
incompatible elements by metasomatism’ (Yuwono et al., 1987). This may possibly have
been linked to previous subduction in early Miocene times in a ’distensional intraplate
context’ (Yuwono et al.,1987). Van Bemmelen (1949) suggested that the alkali nature of
these volcanics is caused by ’excessive assimilation of the older limestones into melt’ and
incorporation of continental material into a subduction-related volcanic arc (Katili, 1978).
Neogene magmatism in western central Sulawesi has been related to lithospheric
thickening and melting (Coffield et al., 1993; Bergman et al., 1996). The bimodal nature of
Neogene igneous lithologies in this area is thought to be from the melting of ancient mantle
peridotite and crust yielding alkaline basaltic (shoshonitic) and granitic composition melts
respectively (Coffield et al., 1993; Bergman et al., 1996) The late Miocene sedimentation is
marked by the development of the Tacipi Formation (see section 2.3.2). The Middle
Miocene-Pliocene (Grainge & Davies, 1983) Tacipi Formation forms the subject of the
present study and is therefore not discussed further in this section. The Walanae Formation
(see section 2.3.2) is locally unconformable on the Tacipi Formation and in places, the two
units interdigitate. The Walanae Formation is dated as mid-Miocene to Pliocene (N9-N20
Sukamto, 1982) based on foraminifera, or alliteratively as predominantly Pliocene (up to
N2l), with the basal units probably Late Miocene in age (Grainge A Davies, 1985). In the
East Sengkang Basin the Walanae formation can be divided into two interval: a lower
interval made up of calcareous mudstone and an upper interval which is more arenaceous.
The lower intervals outcrops intensively in the southern part of the basin which in places
interfinger with reef talus of the Tacipi Formation. Limestones on the southern tip of South
Sulawesi (Figs. 2.2; 2.5) and on the island of Selayar are named the Selayar Limestone
which is a member of the Walanae Formation (Sukamto & Supriatna, 1982). The Selayar
Member is composed of coral limestone and calcarenite with intercalations of marl and
calcareous sandstones. This carbonate unit ranges from upper Miocene to Pliocene in age
(N16-N19, Sukamto & Supriatna, 1982). Sukamto & Supriatna (1982) reported that an
interfingering relationship between the Walanae Formation & Selayar limestone occurs in
the Selayar Island. Terrace, alluvial, lacustrine and coastal deposits occur locally in South
Sulawesi. Recent uplift in South Sulawesi is characterized by raised coral reef deposits (van
Leeuwen 1981; Sukamto,1982).
8.1.2. CENTRAL SULAWESI
In Central Sulawesi, Late Miocene to Recent potassic calc-alkaline magmatism occur
notably along the left lateral Palu-Koro Fault Zone (Priadi et al., 1999). This granitoid is
supposed to be correlated with the collision of Banggai-Sula micro-continent with Sulawesi
Island in Middle Miocene but the detailed studies about its genesis and its ascent
mechanism are still limited. Based on their petrological aspects, association with other
rocks/formations, degree of alteration, and chemical characters, this Neogene granitoid can
be classified into at least three groups, from old to young, and they demonstrate a
systematical change in their features: Coarse and KF-megacrystal bearing granitoid
(Granitoid-C) is distributed in the northern and southern limits of Palu-Koro areas. They can
be easily recognized as they present coarse equigranular or coarse and containing
KF-megacrystals. Several K-Ar age dating indicate its ages ranging from 8.39 Ma to 3.71
Ma. Two petrographic characters can be distinguished: granitoid containing biotite and
hornblende as mafic minerals (4.15-3.71 Ma and 7.05-6.43 Ma), and granitoid containing
biotite as major mafic mineral (8.39-7.11 Ma). Medium mylonitic-gneissic granitoids
(Granitoid-B) are exposed relatively in the central areas (around Palu-Kulawi). They are all
present medium grained granitoids and sometimes contain xenoliths. This granitoid can
also be subdivided into hornblende-biotite and biotite bearing granitoids. The former is
distributed in the southern part (Saluwa-Karangana) and dated of 5.46-4.05 Ma. Whereas
the latter which is dated 3.78-3.21 Ma exposes around Kulawi. Fine and biotite-poor
granitoid (Granitoid-A) represent the youngest granitoid in Palu-Koro area (3.07-1.76 Ma),
they occur as small dykes cutting the other granitoids. The rocks are clear, white and
containing few biotites as single mafic minerals, most of them are concentrately exposed
between Sadaonta-Kulawi in the central parts. Together with these aplitic dykes are also
found lamprophyric dykes (minnette type). Pre-Neogene Gneissic Granitoid (Granitoid-D) is
found in certain limited areas around Toboli. Based on geological map of Sukamto et al.
(1973) its distribution can be extrapolated to extend north-south in Toboli-Kasimbar areas.

It mainly consists of granites that are composed of quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase and
muscovite. The occurrence of muscovite and its older age (96.37 Ma), makes this granitoid
differ from the others. Laterally these granitoids present a relative circular distribution
with Granitoid-A around Kulawi as the focus and rimmed by Granitoid-B and C. The oldest
Granitoid-D elongates north-south at the eastern part of the concentric distribution
(Figure-1).
8.1.3. NORTH SULAWESI
The North Sulawesi Arc, defined primarily on the basis of distribution of Lower Miocene
arc-related rocks, extends for about 500 km onshore, from 121o E to 125 o 20’ E, and has a
relatively constant width of 50 – 70 km, with elevations up to 2065 m. Higher elevations up
to 3225 m are present at the neck of Sulawesi. The evolution of the North Sulawesi Arc may
be divided into two main stages, with respect to the mid- Miocene collision of the arc with
the Sula Platform: (1) west-directed subduction during the Early Miocene, and (2)
post-collisional rifting and uplift of the arc, and inception of subduction along the North
Sulawesi Trench during the Late Miocene to Quaternary. Geological relationships,
paleontology (summarized on published 1: 250,000 maps) and preliminary K – Ar dating
(Lowder and Dow 1978, Villeneuve et al. 1990, Perello 1992, Priadi, pers. commun. 1991)
suggest two main periods of magmatic activity during the Neogene and Quaternary,
namely, 22 – 16Ma (Early Miocene) and younger than 9 Ma (Late Miocene – Quaternary),
i.e. pre- and post-collision of the arc with the Sula Platform. Pliocene and active Quaternary
volcanicity belonging to the Sangihe Arc (Fig. 1) conceals much of the Early Miocene
geology near Manado (Fig. 4). Small exposures of andesite and diorite below Quaternary
volcanic cover on the Sangihe islands, north of Manado, suggest that older arc volcanics
continue offshore, possibly to Mindanao (Fig. 1), and form the basement to the present-day
Sangihe Arc. Neogene arc-related volcanic rocks are absent between Tolitoli and Palu in
the neck of Sulawesi (Fig. 4), partly due to high uplift rates and deep erosion. Lower
Miocene granitoids are not known, and there seems to be little evidence that the Early
Miocene arc extended into the neck. Despite this, it is still inferred that the Early Miocene
Benioff zone extended beneath the neck, and south to an intersection with the paleo-Palu –
Matano transform fault (Fig. 1). In Western Sulawesi, south of Makale (Fig. 1), potassic
alkaline (or shoshonitic) magmatism related to rifting rather than subduction was dominant
during the Neogene (Yuwono et al. 1985, Leterrier et al. 1990, Priadi et al. 1991).
8.2.EASTERN SULAWESI OPHIOLITE BELT

The ophiolite complex and its pelagic sedimentary cover in the East and Southeast Arms of
Sulawesi was named the Eastern Sulawesi Ophiolite Belt by Simandjuntak (1986). The belt
comprises mafic and ultramafic rocks together with pelagic sedimentary rocks and melange
in places. Ultramafic rocks are dominant in the Southeast Arm of Sulawesi, but mafic rocks
are dominant farther north, especially along the northern coast of the East Arm (Smith,
1983; Simandjuntak, 1986). A complete ophiolite sequence was reported by Simandjuntak
(1986) in the East Arm, including ultramafic and mafic rocks, pillow lavas and pelagic
sedimentary rocks dominated by deep-marine limestone and bedded chert intercalations.
Much of the complex is highly faulted and tectonised with blocky exposures. Based on
limited geochemistry data (16 basalt samples), the Eastern Sulawesi Ophiolite Belt was
probably of mid-oceanic ridge origin (Surono, 1995).
8.2.1. SOUTH EAST SULAWESI

The Southeast Sulawesi continental terrain occupies a large area in the Southeast Arm of
Sulawesi, whereas the ophiolite belt is mainly restricted to the northern part of this arm
(Fig. 2). The continental terrane, which trends northwest- southeast, is bounded by the
Lawanopo Fault in the northeastern edge and by the Kolaka Fault in southwestern edge
(Figs 1-2). The terrain is separated from the Buton Terrain by a thrust fault, and at the
eastern end there is an older ophiolite suite thrusting over. The continental terrane
comprises metamorphic basernent, with minor aplitic intrusions, Mesozoic clastic and
carbonate strata, and Paleogene limestone (Fig. 2). The basement mainly consists of
low-grade metamorphic rocks. The clastic sedimentary sequences consist of the Late
Triassic Meluhu Formation. Paleogene limestone units include the Tamborasi Formation
and Tampakura Formaticm (Figs 2, 3).
8.2.1.1. Basement
The low-grade metamorphic basement rocks form the dominant component in the
Southeast Arm (Fig. 2). Tbe age of metamorphism is not clear yet. However, there are
recognized an older metamorphic epidote-amphibolite kcies and a younger low grade
dynamo-metamorphic glaucophane schist facies. The older metamorphism was related to
burial, whereas the younger metamorphism was caused by large scale overthrusting when
the Southeast Sulawesi continental terrane collided with the ophiolite belt, The
metamorphic rocks were intruded by aplite and overlain by quartz-latite lava in places,
especially along the western coast of Bone Gulf.
8.2.1.2. Mesozoic sedimentary rocks
In Kendari area, the basement rocks are unconformably overlain by the Late Triassic
Meluhu Formation (Figs 2,3), which consists of sandstone, shale and mudstone. The Meluhu
Formation composes of 3 members: from oldest to youngest they are the Toronipa,
Watutaluboto and Tuetue Members. The Toronipa Member consists of meandering river
deposits and is dominated by sandstone intercalated with conglomeratic sandstone,
mudstone and shale. The Watutaluboto Member is a tidal-delta deposit dominated by
mudstone intercalated with thin beds of sandstone and conglomerate. The Tuetue Member
consists of mudstone and sandstone passing up into shallow marginal marine marl and
limestone. Sandstone in the Toronipa Member consists of litharenite, sublitharenite and
quartzarenite derived from a recycle orogen source The ubiquitous metamorphic rock
fragments in the sandstone indicates that the source area for the Meluhu Formation was
dominated by metamorphic basement. The metamorphic rocks were probably covered by a
thin sedimentary succession. The small percentage of volcanic fragments in the formation
suggests that volcanic rocks also formed a thin layer with limited lateral extent in the
source area. The rare felsic igneous fragments were probably derived from dykes and/or
si1ls that intruded the rnetamorphic basement. The Meluhu Formation is time equivalent to
the Tinala Formation of the Matarombeo Terrain and the Tokala Formation in Siombok
Terrain (Figs 2,4). Lithologically, these three formations are similar, with clastic-dominated
sequences in their lower parts and become carbonate-dominated in the higher part of the
formations. Halobia and Daonella in the Meluhu, Tinala and Tokala Formations indicate a
Late Triassic age. The presence of ammonoids and pollen in the Tuetue Member of the
Meluhu Formation strongly supports this interpretation. The clastic sedimentary sequence
of the Tinala Formation (Fig. 4), in the Matarombeo Terrane, is successively overlain by the
fine-grained clastic Masiku Formation and the carbonate-rich Tetambahu Formation.
Molluscs, ammonites and belemnites are abundant in the lower part of the Tetambahu
Formation and indicate a Jurassic age. The upper part of the formation contains cherty
limestone and chert nodules rich in radiolarians. The radiolames suggesting a
Jurassic-Early Cretaceous age. In the East Arm, the Tokala Formation of the Siombok and
Banggai-Sula Terranes (Fig. 4), consists of limestone and marl with shale and chert
intercalations. Steptorhynchus, Productus and Oxytoma are present in the formation that
suggest a Permo-Carbonaferous age. However, Misolia and Rhynchonel1a are found within
a limestone bed in the formation indicating a Late Triassic age. Due to lithological similarity
between this formation and the upper Meluhu Formation, a Late Triassic age is most
probable for the Tokala Formation age, while the Pamo-Carboniferous age probably
represents a basement age. The Tokala Formation is overlain by the pink granitic
conglomerate of the Nanaka Formatian, which may have been derived from the widespread
granitic basement in the Banggai-Sula Islands. The overlying Nambo Formation consists of
sandstone and shale containing common belemnites and ammonites indicating a Jurassic
age.
8.2.1.3. Paleogene limestone
Paleogene limestone sequences of the Tampakura Formation (400m thick) unconformably
overlie the Meluhu Formation in the Southeast Sulawesi Continental Terrane. The
formation consists of oolite, lime mudstone, wackestone and locally packstone, grainstone
and framestone. In the lowest part of the formation, there is a clastic strata consisting of
mudstone, sandstone and conglomerate. The formation contains foraminiferas indicating a
Late Eocene-Early Oligocene age. Nanoflora in the formation indicating a broad Middle
Eocene to Middle Miocene age. Thus deposition of the formation must have taken place
during the Late Eocene-Early Oligocene. Initial deposition was in a delta environment
where siliciclastic materials were dominant. A reduction in clastic sediment supply allowed
an intertidal-subtidal carbonate facies to develop extensively on a low relief platform.
Carbonate buildups, dominated by coralline 6amestone, and elongate carbonate sand
bodies or barriers formed a rimmed shelf that protected and enclosed the carbonate tidal
flat environment and isolated it from direct marine influence. Reflux dolomitizations took
place in the intertidal- supratidal zones as Mg-rich fluids moved back towards the sea The
similar Paleogene carbonate sequence of the Tamborasi Formation was deposited in
shallow marine environments. Based on their ages and lithologies, the Tampakura and
Tamborasi Formation (probably also the Lerea Formation in the Matarombeo) were
probably deposited on a single broad shallow marine shelf, The shelf surrounded an island
composed of metamorphic and granitic basement and Mesozoic clastic successions
(Meluhu, Tinala and Tetambahu Formations). Equivalent units in the East Arm (the
Banggai-Sula Terrane) include the Eocene-Oligocene limestone of the Salodik Formation,
which interfingers with marl in the Poh Formation (Figs 1, 4).
8.2.2. EASTERN SULAWESI
The oldest rock formation of Triassic age is called Tokala formation. This consists of
limestone and marl with intercalations of shales and cherts, regarded as being deposited in
a deep sea environment. Another rock facies of the same age deposited in a shallow sea is
formed by Bunta formation consisting of altered fine-grained clastic sediments such as
slate, metasandstone, silt, phyllite and schist. In the East Arm of Sulawesi is also found the
so called Ophiolite complex of late Jurassic to Eocene age which originated from an oceanic
crust (Simandjuntak, 1986). This complex is found in a tectonic contact with Mesozoic
sediments and consists of mafic and ultramafic rocks such as harzburgite, lherzolite,
pyroxenite, serpentinite, dunite, gabbro, diabase, basalt and microdiorite. These rocks
under went several times of deformations and displacements from their original place of
which the last one was of Middle Miocene age. The Tokala and Bunta formations are
unconformably overlain by Nanaka formation consisting of coarse-grained well-bedded
clastic sediments such as conglomerate, sandstone with intercalations of silts and coal
lenses. Among the fragments within the conglomerate are found red granite, metamorhpic
rocks and chert which presumably originated from the socalled banggai-sula
microcontinent (Simandjuntak, 1986). The age of this formation is assumed as Lower to
Middle Jurassic and it was formed in a paralic environment. Conformably overlying the
Nanaka formationis found the Nambo formation of Middle to Upper Jurassic age. This
shallow marine unit consists of fine clastic sediments of sandy marl and marl containing
belemnite and Inoceramus. The Upper Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous Matano formation
consists of limestone with intercalations of chert, marl and silt. Unconformably overlying
the Nambo formation are found the Salodik and Poh formations which interfingers each
other. These formations are of Eocene to Upper Miocene in age. The Salodik formation
consists of limestone with intercalation of marl and sandstone containing quartz fragments.
The abundance of corals, algae and larger foraminifera found in this formation suggest that
it was formed in a shallow marine environment. The Salodik formation is in a fault contact
with the Ophiolite Complex. The Poh formation consists ofmarl and limestone with
sandstone intercalations. The foraminifera assemblage of this formation indicating an age
of Oligocene to the lower part of Upper Miocene. Nanno planktons within this formation
suggest Oligocene to Middle Miocene age. The Molasse of Sulawesi which consists of
Tomata, bongka, Bia, Poso,Puna and Lonsio formations (Surono, 1989) is of Middle Miocene
to Pliocene. The Molasse contains conglomerate, sandstone, silt, marl and limestone,
deposited in paralic to shallow marine facies. It overlies unconformably the Salodik and Poh
formations as well as the Ophiolite complex. The Middle Miocene to Late Pliocene Bualemo
volcanics interfinger with the Lonsio formation of the Molasse and consist of pillow lava and
volcanic rocks. Unconformably overlying the Molasse of Sulawesi is the Pleistocene Luwuk
formation, consisting of coral reef limestone with intercalations of marl in its lower part.
8.2.3. SULAWESI MOLASSE
The Sulawesi Molasse was deposited after the collision between the continental fragments
and the ophiofite belt. Tbe molasse is widely distributed throughout eastern Sulawesi and
consists of coarse- to fine-grained clastic sequences with minor shallow marine carbonate
sequences in places. The molasse in the Southeast Arm was divided into the
conglomerate-dominated Alangga and Pandua Fonnations, a marl and limestone sequence
of the Boepinang Formation, limestone of the Eemoiko Formation, and coarse- to
fine-grained clastic strata of the Langkowala Formation. Boulders of pink granite found in
the Early Miocene molasse sequences on the northern coast of the Southeast Arm and on
Selabangka and Manui Islands may have been derived from the Banggai-Sula Islands. The
molasse in the Southeast Arm is slightly older (Early Miocene) than in the East Arm where
the collision between the Banggai-Sula continental terrane and the East Sulawesi ophiolite
belt resulted in the deposition of Late Miocene molasse.
8.3.CONTINENTAL FRAGMENTS
The continental fragments in the Sulawesi region, including Central and Southeast
Sulawesi, Banggai-Sula and Buton, are believed to have been derived from part of the
northern Australian continent (Pigram et al., 1985; Metcalfe, 1988, 1990; Audley-Charles
and Harris, 1990; Audley-Charles, 1991; Davidson, 1991; Surono, 1997). They probably
broke off from the Australian continent in the Jurassic and moved northeast to their present
position. Audley-Charles and Harris (1990), Metcalfe (1990) and Audley-Charles (1991)
termed them allochthonous continental terranes. Metamorphic rocks are distributed widely
in the eastern part of Central Sulawesi, the Southeast Arm and the island of Kabaena. The
metamorphic rocks can be divided into amphibolite and epidote-amphibolite facies and a
low grade dynamometamorphic group of glaucophane or blueschist facies (deRoever, 1947,
1950). The amphibolite and epidote-amphibolite facies are older than the radiolarite,
ophiolite and spilitic igneous rocks which are found in the metamorphic belt of the Central
Sulawesi Province, while the glaucophane schist, on the other hand, is younger. The
glaucophane schist is consistent with a high pressure and low temperature petrogenesis
but these rocks have only had a reconnaissance petrological examination. Glaucophane
becomes more abundance westward (Sukamto, 1975b). Except in Buton, the metamorphic
rocks were intruded by granitic rocks in the Permo-Triassic. In the Southeast Sulawesi,
Banggai-Sula and Buton Microcontinents metamorphic rocks form the basements of the
Mesozoic basins. These rocks are unconformably overlain by thick units of Mesozoic
sedimentary rocks, dominated by limestone in Buton and siliciclastic rocks in the Southeast
Sulawesi and Banggai-Sula Microcontinents. Paleogene limestone is found on all of the
microcontinents (Smith, 1983; Surono, 1986, 1989a, b; Supandjono et al., 1986; Surono and
Sukarna, 1985; Garrad et al., 1989; Soeka, 1991). In the Late Oligocene-Middle Miocene
time, westward-moving slices of one or more Indonesian-Australian microcontinents
collided with the ophiolite complex of East and Southeast Sulawesi. The collision produced
melange and an imbricate island arc zone of Mesozoic and Paleogene sedimentary strata
from the microcontinents, with overthrust slices of ophiolite (Silver et al., 1983a, b). During
the collision, local sedimentary basins formed in Sulawesi. After the collision, basins
became more widely developed throughout Sulawesi. Sedimentation in the Southeast Arm
began earlier (Early Miocene) than in the East Arm (Late Miocene, Smith, 1983; Surono,
1989a, b). Both these sequences are commonly referred to as the Sulawesi Molasse
(Sarasin and Sarasin, 1901) and consist of a major clastic succession and minor reefal
limestone. Most of the molasse was deposited in a shallow marine environment but in some
places it was deposited in fluvial to transitional environments (Simandjuntak et al., 1981a,
b, 1984; Surono et al., 1983; Rusmana et al., 1988; Surono, 1989a, b, 1996).
8.4 BONE BASIN

Bone Basin is located between south and southeast arm of Sulawesi, interpreted as a
composite basin, with its origin as a subduction complex and suture between Sundaland
and Gondwana-derived microcontinents, which subsequently evolved as a submerged
intramontane basin. Tectonic and stratigraphic evolutions of the Bone Basin are still poorly
understood due to limited data. A new model based on surface geology, seismic and single
well data is presented for the tectonic and stratigraphic evolution of Bone Basin. During
Early Tertiary or older, a westward subduction complex was probably developed to the east
of western Sulawesi and Bone Basin was in a fore arc setting. A collisional event occurred
between Australian-derived microcontinents and the Early Tertiary accretionary complex

during Middle Miocene resulting in eastward obduction of the accretionary complex during
Middle Miocene resulting in eastward obduction of the accretionary complex onto the
microcontinents. The westerly continental moving microcontinents then collided against
and partly was subducted beneath the western Sulawesi during Late Miocene. The
compression from the collision propagated a major back-thrust system westward to the
subduction zone generating foldbelts as indicated by the west-verging Kalosi and Majne
fold belts. The two colliding plates then were locked up during the Pliocene and the
continued plate convergence was accommodated by strike-slip movements along the
Walanae, Palukoro and other faults. In the southern part of Bone Basin, westerly movement
of the microcontinents did not reach the collision stage with western Sulawesi. Instead,
Southeast Sulawesi was rotated eastward resulting in a major extensional fault cutting
along the middle of the Bone Basin (Sudarmono, 1999). Stratigraphic record is very limited
as only one well was drilled in the basin. The well indicates that the northern part of the
Bone Basin basically consist of two marine sedimentary packages separated by a major
Pliocene unconformity, which are pre-collision and post-collision sediments. The
pre-collision sediments is of Late to Lower Miocene age consisting of predominantly
calcareous claystone with rare limestone beds in the upper part and a conglomeratic layer
in the lowermost part. The post-collision sediment is a syn-orogeneic sequence consisting of
interbedded sands and clays with a few thin sporadic lenses of lignites. The lowermost part
of the package and overlying the major Pliocene unconformity is a layer of fine to coarse
grain sandstones grading to conglomerates (Sudarmono, 1999).
8.5.STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY
Sulawesi Island and its surroundings is one of the most complicated active margin in term
of geology, structure and tectonic as well. The region represents a center of triple junction
plate convergene, due to the interaction of three major earth crusts (plates) in Neogene
times (Simandjuntak, 1992). This convergence gave rise to the development of all type of
structures in all scales, including subduction and coliision zone, fault and thrust and
folding. At present most of the Neogene structures and some of the pre-Neogene structures
are still being activated or reactivated. The major structures include Minahasa Trench,
Palu-Koro Fault System and its spalys of Balantak-Sula Fault, Matano Fault, Lawanopo
Fault, Kolaka Fault and Kabaena Fault, Batui Thrust, Poso Thrust and Walanae Fault.
8.5.1. MINAHASA TRENCH
The Minahasa Trench is surfece expression of Benioff zone, inwhich the Sulawesi Sea crust
being subducted beneath the North Arm of Sulawesi in late Palogene times (Fitch, 1970;
Katili, 1971; Cardwell and Isacks, 1978; Hamilton, 1979; McCaffrey et al, 1983;
Simandjuntak, 1993a). The subduction seems to be culminated in Neogene
comtemporaneously with the west-southwest dipping collision zone between the Eastern
Sulawesi Ophiolite Belt against the Banggai-Sula Platform along the Batui Thrust in the
south. Seismicity suggests that at the present the Minahasa Trench seems to be dying out
(Mc Caffrey et al, 1983; Kertapati et al, 1992). Simandjuntak (1988) suggested that
recently, the eastern portin of the subduction zone seems to have been reactivated and
produced the Minahasa Volcanic arc.
8.5.2. PALU-KORO FAULT SYSTEM
The Palu-Koro Fault System for the first time is defined by Sarasin (1901), and Rutten
(1927) described the fault zone stretched on nearly N-S direction for at least 300 km long in
Central Sulawesi. Sudrajat (1981) described that the Palu-Koro Fault stretchs from west
Palu City to the Bone Bay in the southeast for some 250 km long and calculated the
transcurrent movement in the ranging of 2-3.5 mm to 14-17 mm/year. Tjia (1981) analysed
the rate of up-lifting of coralline reefs within the fault zone of some 4.5 mm/year. Indriastuti
(1990) calcaulated the means of horizontal maovement of 1.23 mm/year. Bemmelen (1970)
and Katili (1978) suggested that the northern portion of the fault system is dominated by
vertical movement whereas the southern part is dominated by sinistral wrench movement.
Walpersdorf et al (1997) on the basis of interferometric GPS analysis found out that the
sinistral wrench movement of the Palu-Koro Fault System on te rate of 3.4 mm/year.
Seismicity shows that at the present the Palu-Koro Fault being at least segmently
reactivated (Kertapati et al, 1992; Soehaemi and Firdaus, 1995 ). Simandjuntak (1993a, b)
thought that the Palu-Koro Fault System continued to Bone Bay, cut across the Flores
Thrust and terminated in the Timor Trough in the south and to the north is termianted in
Minahasa Trench. He also pointed out that during the history of fault movement, the
Palu-Koro Fault was dominated by a sinistral transpressional movement, giving rise to the
up-lifting of the mountain ranges along the fault zone. Althought in recent time the fault
system was subjected to a transtensional sinistral wrenching causing the development of
graben like basins such as Palu Valley and small lakes in many parts along the fault zone.
He also further suggested that the development of Bone Bay was magnified by the sinistral
transtensioanl movement of Palu-Koro Fault System in very late Neogene time. The
Palu-Koro Fault System in Sulawesi is connected with Sorong Fault System in Irian Jawa via
Balantak-Sula Fault, Matano-South Buru Fault. To the south the Palu-Koro Fault merges
with the Lawanopo Fault. Kolaka Fault and Kabaena Fault (Simandjuntak, 1993a)..
8.5.3. BATUI THRUST
Simandjuntak (1993a) defined that the Batui Thrust is surface expression of the collision
zone between Banggai-Sula Platform against Eastern Sulawesi Opiolite Belt in Neogene
time. The thrust bounds the ophiolite belt in the hanging wall from the micro-continents in
the foot wall regims. The thrust can be obsrved clearly on the landsat imagery of the region
(Hamilton, 1979). The thrust strechts from Balantak in the eastern tip of the East Arm of
Sulawesi to the SW in Morowali, Tomori Bay. The thrust is disrupted and cut across by a
number strike-slip fault, Toili Fault, Ampana Fault and Wekuli Fault. Its continuation
further to the south in central, Southeast Arm, Buton and Kabaena Islands seems to have
been greatly disrupted and modified by post-collision faults and hence it can not be traced
as a continuous thrust zone. Seismicity shows that at present the thrust might be
reactivated (McCaffrey et al, 1983; Kertapati et al, 1992). The occurrence of at least three
terraces of Quaternary coraline reefs along the southern coast of the East Arm of Sulawesi
also testifies the recent reactivation of the thrust (Simandjuntak, 1986, 1993a).
8.5.4. POSO THRUST
Poso Thrust is defined as structural contact zone between the Central Sulawesi
Metamorphic Belt (CSMB) and the Western Sulawesi Magmatic Belt (Bemelen, 1949;
Hamilton, 1979; Simandjuntak et al, 1991; Simandjuntak et al, 1992). The thrust is believed
to have instrumented the up-thrusting of high pressure metamorphics (CSMB) from the
depth in Benioff zone on to the top of magmatic belt in Neogene times. Seismicity suggests
that at the present the thrust is no longer active (Kertapati et al, 1992). However, the
recent earth quake in the west coast of Tomini Bay indicates that at least the northern
portion of the thrust being reactivated.
8.5.5. WALANAE FAULT
The Walanae Fault is defined as a sinistral wrench faulting trending in NW-SE direction,
cut across the South Arm of Sulawesi. The fault seems to be continued further to the
northwest cut across Makassar Strait and merged with the Phaternoster-Lupar suture in
Kalimantan and to the south is terminated in the Flores Thrust. In Quaternary the fault
seems to have been reactivated transtensionally causing the development of Walanae
Depression. Seismicity suggests that at the present the fault is no longer active or dying
out.
8.5.6. NOTES ON THE MAKASSAR STRAIT
Katili (1978) suggested that the Makassar Strait was tectonically developed due to the
rifting of the region with axis trending nearly N-S direction parallel to the long axis of the
strait. Situmorang (1983), on the basis of seismic reflection profile across Makassar Strait
found out that no a new developing oceanic crust beneath of the Tertiary sequences at the
sea floor of the strait. He further suggested that the basement of the strait is more likely of
continental crust. The occurrence of the Neogene fissured volcanics in and along the
Lupar-Phaternoster suture and other parts in the interior of Kalimantan (Bergman et al,
1988; Harahap, 1996; Hutchison, 1996; Simandjuntak, 1999) and a similar sosonitic
volcanics in wsetern South Arm of Sulawesi (Pryadi, 199 ) suggest the development of
extensional tectonic in the region on Neogene times. The development of Makassar Strait
more likely being related with the extensional tectonic occurring in many parts of central
Indonesia in Neogene times.
8.6.TECTONIC DEVELOPMENT OF SULAWESI

The peculiar ‘K’ shaped of Sulawesi Island may indicates the complexity of geology and
tectonics of the region. On the basis of data obtained on geology and geophysics
Simandjuntak (1993) summarized the tectonic evolution of Sulawesi and its surroundings,
which is related with the (re)occurrence of a number types of tectonism, including a)
Cretaceous Cordileran type subduction, b) Mesozoic tectonic divergence, c) Neogene
Tethyan type collision and d) Quaternary double opposing collision.
8.6.1. CRETACEOUS CORDILERAN TYPE SUBDUCTION
A Cretaceous Cordileran type subduction is recorded by the development of a west-dipping
Benioff zone in and along western Sulawesi, inwhich the proto- Banda Sea crust subducted
beneath south-southest margins of Sunda Shield (SE Eurasian Craton). The occurrence of
Late Cretaceous high pressure metamorphic rocks in the Central Sulawesi Metamorphic
Belt, the Cretaceous-Paleogene melange wedges associated with metamorphics and
ophiolitic rocks, the Paleogene volcanics in the Westren Sulawesi Magmatic Belt and the
ophiolites in the Eastern Sulawesi Ophiolite Belt are thought to have been developed during
and subsequent to this subduction (Simandjuntak, 1980). The presence of Late
Cretaceous-Paleogene flysch sediments associated with basaltic lavas may represent an
upper trench slope sequences during this palte convergence.
8.6.2. MESOZOIC TECTONIC DIVERGENCE
Meanwhile, further to the south-southeast, subsequently after the Permo-Triassic thermal
doming the northern continental margins of Australia were rifted due essentially to the
extensional tectonic. The continental fragments, then were detached and displaced
north-northwestwards to form the present micro-continents in the Banda Sea region
(Pigram & Panggabean, 1984), including the Banggai-Sula Paltform, Tukangbesi-Buton
Platform and Mekongga Platform (Simandjuntak, 1986), During the history of the
detacheement and northwestwards displacement, the continental blocks were fragmented
to form those micro-continents occurring in the Banda Sea region. And by the Neogene
times, some of the micro-continents were collided with the subduction complex and
ophiolite belt in the western margin of Banda Sea region. The tectonic divergence seems to
be essentially dominated by a transcurrent-transformal displacement along the line of
Sorong Fault System together with its splays of steep faults in the region (Simandjuntak,
1986, 1993).
8.6.3. NEOGENE TETHYAN TYPE COLLISION
The north-northwestwards moving continental fragments (micro-continents) of
Banggai-Sula Platform, Tukangbesi-Buton Platform and Mekongga Platform collided with
the subduction complex (CSMB) and the ophiolite belt (ESOB) in Neogene times. This
tectonic convergence is typically Tethyan collision inwhich the the platforms underplated
the ophiolite belt and subduction complex. At present the collision zone is marked by the
occurrence of Neogene melange wedges in places along the Batui Thrust in the East Arm of
Sulawesi (Simandjuntak, 1986). The collision characteristically produced no volcanic arc
and geometrically without the development of fore-arc and back-arc basinal setting
(Simandjuntak, 1988). The end products of this collision is characteristicaaly marked by the
obduct-ing (up-thrusting) of the ophiolite suite onto the margins of the micro-continents and
the thrusting-up of the subduction complex (CSMB) over the Western Sulawesi magmatic
arcs (Simandjuntak, 1991; Bergman et al, 1996). The Papua New Guinea Ophiolite Belt is
also emplaced by an obduction tectonics (Davies, 1976). During the end and subsequent to
this collision, the deposition of post-orogenic coarse clatics of mostly molasse type
sediments took place in the Late Neogene times. The molasses are mostly marine, but
partly are terrestrials as indicated by the occurrence of lensoidal lignites, which seems to
have been acummulated in an isolated and fault-bounded graben like basins especially in
the interior of Central Sulawesi. The marine molasse at least partly seem to have been
deposited in a submarine fan environmental setting.
8.6.4. QUATERNARY DOUBLE OPPOSING COLLISION
At present an active volcanics in and along the Minahasa-Sangihe Volcanic Arc appears to
have been initiated by the development of a double- opposing subduction in northern
Sulawesi in Neogene and reactivated in Quaternary. The plate convergence is marked by
the development of south-southeastwards-dipping subducted crust of Sulawesi Sea beneath
the North Arm of Sulawesi couples with the westward-dipping subducted crust of Maluku
Sea in the north with its southern continuation along the Batui Thrust, inwhich the
Banggai-Sula Platform underpalted the Eastern Sulawesi Ophiolite Belt in the East Arm of
Sulawesi (Simandjuntak, 1991). On the basis micro-seismicity analysis McCaffrey et al
(1983) suggest that the southern collision might be (re) activated at the present time. The
occurrence of at least three terraces of Quaternary reefal limestones in and along the
southern coast of the East Arm of Sulawesi testifies the reactivati-on of thie plate
convergence and the rapid uplifting of the region.

License
Version 1.2, November 2002
Copyright (C) 2000,2001,2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA Everyone is permitted to copy
and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
0. PREAMBLE
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone
the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License
preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the
GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software.
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should
come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any
textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose
is instruction or reference.
1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS

This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under
the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated
herein. The "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the
license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law.
A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or
translated into another language.
A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or
authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject.
(Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter
of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them.
The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the
Document is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant.
The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.
The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document
is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public,
that is suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for
drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats
suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to
thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of
text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using
a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent image
formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML
or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some
word processors for output purposes only.
The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License
requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent
appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that
translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", "Dedications",
"Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ"
according to this definition.
The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers
are considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these Warranty
Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License.
2. VERBATIM COPYING
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices,
and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to
those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute.
However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in
section 3.
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies.
3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document's
license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the
front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front
cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying
with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in
other respects.
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover,
and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy
along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public has
access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter
option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will
remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or
retailers) of that edition to the public.
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a
chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
4. MODIFICATIONS
You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified
Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the
Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there
were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version
gives permission.
B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together
with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this
requirement.
C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher.
D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices.
F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this
License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the
Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and
publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.
License 19
J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network
locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network
location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives
permission.
K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and
tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered
part of the section titles.
M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version.
N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the
Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the
Modified Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties--for example,
statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard.
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover
Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by)
any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity
you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the
old one.
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply
endorsement of any Modified Version.
5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions,
provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant
Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are
multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in
parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section
titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled "History"; likewise
combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements."
6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim
copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into
the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS

A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution
medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation's users beyond
what the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which
are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire
aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers
if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate.
8. TRANSLATION
Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant
Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in
addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document,
and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices and
disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will
prevail.
If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will
typically require changing the actual title.
9. TERMINATION
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify,
sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received
copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE

The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be
similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See http:/ / www. gnu. org/ copyleft/ .
Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "or
any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has
been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any
version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
How to use this License for your documents

To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the License in the document and put the following copyright and license notices
just after the title page:
Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME. Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free
Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts,
and no Back-Cover Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free Documentation License".
If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the situation.
If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software
license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software.
