Conglomerate of Teluk Wang Formation

Conglomerate of Teluk Wang Formation

This high cliff which is on the banks of the Merangin River in the form of a conglomerate is in the form of various types of materials, greenish-gray, chocked, with components measuring 0.5 - 20 cm, consisting of volcanic rock, shale, sandstone, and granite. The components of volcanic rock are basalt and trakhite. Locally interspersed with tuff. Equivalent to the Tabir Formation, lithologically, from bottom to top it consists of a conglomerate of various materials (basalt and chlorite andesite, sandstone, granite/monzonite-monzodiorite, limestone, sandstone, and quartz), archose sandstone, lithic sandstone and greywacke, siltstones and claystones, with intercalations of limestone, welded tuff, rhyolite, and strongly altered andesite containing “ironstone”. At the bottom of the Telukwang Formation are andesitis-basaltic lava inserts. Volcanic activity during the deposition of this formation affects its lithological composition, with the discovery of inserts of volcanic products.
