Thirty seafloor of sediment samples have been taken by using gravity corer and grab sampler at Betumpak Cape, and adjacent area of Bangka Belitung. The result of grain size analyses show that there are four sediment units: gravelly sand, gravelly muddy sand, silt and silty sand. Identification of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) image on several samples shows the presence of clay mineral such as smectite, alunite, chlorite etc., may resulted from plagioclase weathering of granite. Based on heavy mineral analyses, its highest content is found at MTK-27 (northwest of Betumpak Cape). High content of apatite (0.94% wt and 1.07% wt) is found on coarse sand fractions (115-170 mesh) at MTK-29 (northeast Ular Cape) and MTK-30 (north of Ular Cape). Generally, the heavy mineral accumulation is occurred on medium sand fraction (60-80 mesh) as magnetite (7.86% wt), ilmenite (4.9% wt) and zircon (1.32% wt). Based on these data, it shows that heavy mineral is accumulated on medium to coarse sand. Keywords: sea floor sediment, grain size analysis, heavy minerals, and Betumpak Cape, Bangka strait.

Placer mineral is mineral deposits that have channels transportation as particles of grains mineral in the river and on the ocean floor. The most common and plentiful placer mineral are rutile, tin, magnetite, ilmenite, zircon and many gems. The existence of ancient rivers flooded after the end of the ice age, of the ancient river many deposited heavy minerals from rocks around the island of Sumatra and Kalimantan. The existence of an ancient channel formed at the Holocene is thought to be a valley that has the potential as mineral deposits to be transported and deposited in the same time with the sediments that fill the valleys. Tin Gravel is one of the heavy minerals in Sunda shelf deposited above the ancient valleys of granite rock The type of granite in Sunda shelf is granite I type (east belt) and S type (middle belt). The granite belt (tin belt) is related to the heavy mineral associations found in the study area, whether derived from granite I type or granite S Type is still a subject of debate among researchers. The granite type classification is based on opaque minerals. The magnetite series comprises of: magnetite, ilmenite, hematite and pyrite, while the ilmenite series consists of: cassiterite, ilmenite, and graphite. Granite in Indonesia islands containing tin mineral included in the middle belt (type S), and east belt (type I). Occurred on a Carbon, Perm and also Triass age. Granites are distributed almost along the coastal to offshore of Kundur Island. Tin (SnO2), or tin include oxide group, brownish, prismatic. Tin deposited is associated with acid igneous rock formed on pegmatites accumulation. In Study area tin founded in 16 samples of seabed surface sediments with the largest content of 0.04124% and the smallest 44 of 0.0006%. The purpose of this study is to know the existence of placer tin content in marine sediments in Kundur waters, its relation with tin belt (granite type), whereas the purpose of the study is to know the source of tin placer.
Sea floor sediment surrounding Lemukutan Island, West Kalimantan is distributed on rather steep sea bottom morphology. The steep bottom seems a continuation of rugged morphology of the island, especially at the northeast and southeast parts. This paper discusses the relation between sediment grain sizes and the steepness of sea bottom morphology. Grain size analyses of sediment shows various sediment types such as slightly gravelly muddy sand, gravel mostly composed of coral and lithic, and gravelly sand. Results show that steepness of sea bottom slope control deposited sediment types, coarse fraction sediments tend to settle on the area of high slope angle as at the northeastern and southeastern of the island. On the other hand, high energy marine environment, such as at the sea in front of north headland of Lemukutan Island, tends to accumulate coarse sediments. High percentages of organism shells in marine sediments obviously are deposited at those two domains. Keywords: sea bottom morphology, sediment, Lemukutan Island, West Kalimantan. Sedimen dasar laut sekitar Pulau Lemukutan, Kalimantan Barat tersebar pada morfologi yang agak curam. Permukaan dasar laut yang curam tampaknya merupakan kelanjutan morfologi kasar pulau tersebut, terutama pada bagian timur laut dan tenggara. Makalah ini membahas hubungan antara besar butir sedimen dan kecuraman morfologi dasar laut. Analisis besar butir sedimen memperlihatkan jenis sedimen yang bervariasi, seperti pasir lumpuran sedikit krikilan, kerikil umumnya terdiri koral dan fragmen batuan, dan pasir krikilan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa kecuraman lereng dasar laut mengontrol tipe sedimen yang diendapkan, sedimen fraksi kasar cenderung mengendap pada daerah dengan sudut lereng tinggi seperti di bagian timur laut dan tenggara Pulau Lemukutan. Di samping itu, lingkungan laut enerji tinggi, seperti di bagian utara pulau, cenderung mengakumulasikan sedimen kasar. Prosentase tinggi dari cangkang organisma dalam sedimen laut tampak nyata diendapkan pada kedua lingkungan tersebut. Kata kunci: morfologi dasar laut, sedimen, Pulau Lemukutan, Kalimantan Barat.
Berdasarkan hasil analisa unsur terhadap 7 contoh sedimen permukaan dasar laut di Perairan Pantai Gundi, Bangka Barat, yang kemudian dianalisa dengan menggunakan metode Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) dapat diketahui konsentrasi kandungan unsur Niobium (Nb) dan unsur Tantalum (Ta). Selain itu dilakukan pula analisa mineral berat dengan menggunakan larutan pemisah bromoform (BJ 2,83) terhadap 15 contoh. Konsentrasi kandungan unsur jarang seperti Niobium dapat mencerminkan keberadaan mineral berat ekonomis, yaitu mineral berat yang resisten terhadap pelapukan dan mengandung unsur Titanium (Ti), seperti mineral Ilmenit (FeTiO3) dan rutil (TiO2). Juga dapat dibuktikan, di daerah selidikan bahwa keberadaan unsur Niobium dan Tantalum di alam hampir dapat dipastikan selalu berasosiasi. Di daerah selidikan asosiasi ini berupa mineral columbite-tantalite (Fe,Mn)Nb2O6-(Fe,Mn)Ta2O6 dan pyrochlore (Na, Ca, Ce…)2 Nb2O6F. Selain itu masih dengan memperhatikan asosiasi kedua unsur ini dapat diketahui pula asal batuan sumber dari sedimen-sedimen dimana mineral tersebut terakumulasi, karena asosiasi antara unsur Niobium dan Tantalum merupakan penciri untuk daerah pegmatis. Based on element analysis of 7 surface sediment samples from Gundi Waters, Western Bangka by using Inductively Coupled Plasm (ICP), the content of rare element Niobium (Nb) and Tantalum (Ta) can be identified. On the other hand heavy mineral analysis with float-sink method using bromoform as separator liquid has been applied for 15 samples. Based on observations the concentration of Niobium (Nb) element reflects the present of heavy minerals consisted of Titanium (Ti) element, such as Ilmenit (FeTiO2) and Rutil (TiO2). It is can also be proved that in the investigated area Niobium (Nb) and Tantalum (Ta) elements are occure in association. In the study area, this association shows as columbite-tantalite (Fe,Mn)Nb2O6-(Fe,Mn)Ta2O6 and pyrochlore (Na, Ca, Ce…)2 Nb2O6F minerals. Moreover, based on this association, it can be recognized the source rocks of the sediment where the minerals accumulate as association of these two elements are specific for pegmatic area.
Study of elemental composition in sediment has been proven useful in interpreting the depositional environmental changes. Multi Sensor Core Logger (MSCL) is a non-destructive analysis that measures several parameters in sediment core including magnetic susceptibility and elemental composition. Magnetic susceptibility and elemental analysis were measured in four selected marine sediment cores from western part of Bangka Strait (MBB-67. MBB-119, MBB-120 and MBB-173) by using magnetic susceptibility and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) sensors attached to the MSCL. The data was collected within 2 cm interval. Scatter plots of Y/Zr and Zr/Ti show singular trend demonstrated by sediments from MBB-173 and two groups that composed of MBB-67 (Group 1) and MBB-119 + MBB-120 (Group 2). MBB-67 that is located adjacent to Klabat Granite shows upward changes in mineralogy, slight increase of grain size and negligible change in Y concentration. Cores MBB-119 and MBB-120 are inferred to be deposited during regression that resulted in the accummulation of Y-bearing zircon in MBB-119 before the mineral could reach MBB-120. Core MBB-173 is interpreted to be the product of plagioclase weathering that is submerged by rising sea level. This core contains a horizon of rich Y-bearing zircon at 60 cm.Keywords: Multi Sensor Core Logger, X-Ray Fluorescence, magnetic susceptibility, depositional environment, Bangka Island Studi tentang komposisi unsur kimia dalam sedimen telah terbukti bermanfaat dalam interpretasi perubahan lingkungan pengendapan. Multi Sensor Core Logger (MSCL) adalah sebuah analisis yang non-destructive, untuk mengukur beberapa parameter dalam bor sedimen termasuk suseptibilitas magnetik dan kandungan unsur. Suseptibilitas magnetik dan kandungan unsur diukur dari 4 bor sedimen laut yang terpilih di bagian barat Selat Bangka (MBB-67. MBB-119, MBB-120 and MBB-173) dengan menggunakan sensor suseptibilitas magnetik (MS) dan X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) yang terpasang pada MSCL. Pengukuran dilaksanakan dengan interval 2 cm. Plot Y/Zr dan Zr/Ti menunjukkan satu trend yang diperlihatkan oleh sedimen bor MBB-173 dan dua grup yang terdiri atas MBB-67 (Grup 1) dan MBB-119 + MBB-120 (Grup 2). Bor MBB-173 ditafsirkan sebagai hasil pelapukan plagioklas yang kemudian terendam air laut. Bor ini memperlihatkan horizon yang kaya akan zirkon pembawa yttrium pada kedalaman 60 cm.Kata kunci : Multi Sensor Core Logger, X-Ray Fluorescence, suseptibilitas magnetik, lingkungan pengendapan, Pulau Bangka
The late Pleistocene-Holocene stratigraphic architecture of the Bawean Island and surrounding waters, southeast Java Sea has been analyzed by using sparker seismic profiles. Geological interpretation of these seismic profiles revealed the widespread distribution of paleochannels with different shape and size in the present-day Java Sea. Two channel types can be distinguished based on its morphology: U-shaped channels in the western part and V-shaped channels in the eastern part. The stratigraphic successions were grouped into two major seismic units separated by different seismic boundaries. Characters of marine and fluvial deposits were determined based on seismic boundaries and internal reflectors. Three seismic facies can be identified within late Pleistocene – Holocene incised channel fills associated with SB2. The internal structure of incised-channels consist of chaotic reflector at the bottom, covered by parallel–sub parallel and almost reflection-free indicating the homogenous sediment deposited during the succession.Keywords : Pleistocene-Holocene channel fills, sparker seismic profiles, seismic boundaries, incised–channel, Java Sea. Rekaman seismik sparker digunakan untuk menganalisis endapan stratigrafi berumur Plistosen Akhir–Holosen di Perairan Pulau Bawean dan sekitarnya. Berdasarkan interpretasi geologi dari rekaman seismik tersebut teridentifikasi sebaran alur purba yang berbeda bentuk dan ukuran dengan kondisi Laut Jawa sekarang. Berdasarkan morfologinya, dua tipe alur purba yang terdentifikasi adalah alur purba berbentuk U di bagian barat dan berbentuk V yang terbentuk di bagian timur daerah penelitian. Suksesi stratigrafi kemudian dibedakan menjadi dua grup unit seismik utama yang dibatasi oleh perbedaan batas seismik, yaitu endapan asal darat dan laut yang ditentukan berdasarkan batas sikuen dan reflektor internal. Pada unit Pleistosen–Holosen teridentifikasi tiga tipe fasies seismik yang berkorelasi pada batas sikuen SB2. Struktur internal alur purba yang tertoreh terdiri dari reflektor kaotik yang di bagian bawah, kemudian ditutupi oleh reflektor paralel - sub paralel sampai hampir bebas refleksi yang mengindikasikan terendapkannya sedimen homogen selama suksesi tersebut.Kata kunci : Pengisi alur Plistosen - Holosen, penampang seismik sparker, batas seismik, alur tertoreh, Laut Jawa.
