Limestone Facies Change of Jonggrangan To Sentolo Formation in The Western Part of Yogyakarta-Central Java Basin

Abstract

The research location is in the western of Yogyakarta-Central Java Basin, where limestone of Jonggrangan and Sentolo Formation are found with the same age but have different depositional facies characteristics. These differences will be interesting to study the historical process of its formation. The research was conducted through a series of methods. Starting from geological mapping to determine the order of rock stratigraphy, the depiction of outcrop profiles, and limestone sampling for petrographic analysis. Eventually, the depositional environment of the two rock formations was discovered. Field observation results and laboratory analysis were further integrated to determine the rock facies that make up the two formations. The rock units in the study area from old to young are the pyroxene andesite breccia unit of Upper Oligocene age and limestone. The bioclastic limestone and layered limestone units are deposited by interfingering, unconformity over the pyroxene andesite breccia unit. The Middle Miocene bioclastic limestone unit is equivalent to Jonggrangan Formation in the inner shelf environment (Restricted Lagoon and Open Lagoon facies environment). Whereas layered limestone of Middle Miocene age is equivalent to the Sentolo Formation in the lower slope environment (Restricted Lagoon, Open Lagoon, and Open Sea Shelf) facies.
