Abstract

This note builds on an earlier Warta note (Doust, 2022) that summarised the geological development of the island of Trinidad and the margins of the Caribbean Sea. Parts of Southeast Asia can be readily compared to these areas and, I believe, the two provinces can provide valuable analogues for each other. I illustrate this by considering examples of tectonic style taken from transpressional fold belts in Trinidad and eastern Java, from the evolution of foreland and wrench basin stratigraphy and from striking similarities between the stratigraphy and structure of Borneo and Trinidad’s Tertiary continent margin deltas.
