Abstract

The Bentong-Raub Suture Zone (Fig. 1) represents a segment of the main Devonian to Middle Triassic Palaeo-Tethys ocean and forms the boundary between the Gondwanaland-derived Sibumasu and Indochina terranes. Palaeo-Tethyan oceanic ribbon-bedded cherts in the suture zone range in age from Middle Devonian to Middle Permian and mClange includes Lower Carboniferous to Lower Permian chert and limestone clasts. This indicates that the Palaeo-Tethys opened in the Devonian and closed in the Late Triassic (Peninsular Malaysia segment).
