“…Lately, Mohd Shafeea et al (2003) proposed the name Mersing formation for the entire metamorphic to metasedimentary rocks distributed in East Johor. Surjono et al (2006) retained the usage of Mersing formation for lithostratigraphy of metamorphic rock in eastern Johor and southeastern Pahang areas. This paper also uses this lithostratigarphic nomenclature for the mention rock unit.…”

Low grade metamorphic rocks including slate, phyllite, metasandstone with subordinate schist and quartzite are widely distributed in the East Johor, Peninsular Malaysia. Regionally, this rock unit is extended northward up to northern Terengganu area. The protolith of this rocks unit were deposited in shallow marine depositional environment that subsequently metamorphosed during Carboniferous time. The very thick argillaceous and arenaceous rocks more than 5000 metres were produced by fast rate accommodation spaces due to global sea level rise during Early to Late Carboniferous against with high fine-grained sediment supply. Tectonic setting, basin formation and sedimentation processes were controlled by rifting of Indochina-East Malaya continental block from Gondwanaland during Devonian to Late Carboniferous. This rifting formed basins within a passive margin tectonic setting along the western margin of Indochina-East Malaya continental block.Keywords: Metamorphic rocks, shallow marine, Carboniferous, passive margin

“…Proses tersebut telah mengangkat keseluruhan kawasan menjadi daratan, diikuti oleh proses luluhawa dan hakisan yang menghasilkan endapan daratan di dalam lembangan daratan yang terpencil dan terpisah-pisah membentuk jujukan batuan enapan daratan Formasi Tebak, Panti dan yang lain-lain berusia Jura hingga Kapur. Proses tersebut juga telah mengukir landskap daratan yang terlihat pada hari ini (Metcalfe, 1999;Metcalfe, 2000;Surjono et al, 2006;Metcalfe, 2017;JKSPMG, 2018;Komoo et al, 2019). Keseluruhan bukti-bukti lapangan yang menyokong evolusi geologi dalam jangka masa yang panjang tersebut adalah warisan geologi bernilai tinggi yang perlu dipelihara dengan baik untuk kita memahami sejarah tanah air yang menjadi kebanggaan semua komunitinya.…”

“…Proses denudasi yang berlaku secara berterusan memendapkan lebih banyak puing hasil luluhawa dan hakisan terhadap batuan telah mengisi semua bahagian lembah dan pamah rendah sehingga membentuk dataran aluvium kuaterner asalan daratan. Sebahagian daripada sedimen tersebut dibawa dari laut dan dimendapkan membentuk dataran pantai dan dataran dampar (Metcalfe, 1999;Metcalfe, 2000;Surjono et al, 2006;Metcalfe, 2017;JKSPMG, 2018).…”

The district of Mersing is bestowed with many national and international geological heritage sites dated since 350 million years ago. The high biodiversity and uniqueness of the local culture complements the geoheritage of the area. Thus, the National Geopark Committee has chosen Mersing as a territory to be developed as a geopark. Mersing Geopark development efforts were initiated in 2017 through the Mersing Geopark Scientific and Development Committee. The entire Mersing district of 6,371 square kilometers, including the marine areas right up to the Aur Archipelago is identified as the geopark area. The geoheritage here has been identified as 22 geosites, which cover land and island areas. Important flora and fauna have also been identified as being within the protected areas. The unique and preserved traditions of life, art and culture add to the value of this geopark. Several key elements were introduced to prepare Mersing Geopark before being evaluated as a national geopark candidate in December 2018, namely governance of the geopark - management based on ‘co-management’ mechanism, nature conservation – community, community economy through geotourism activities, and public education. Many programmes and activities have been carried out to face future plans for Mersing to become a UNESCO Global Geopark. Geopark enhances natural and cultural heritage resources through integrated development, geotourism development to increase income, preservation of heritage sites and empowerment of local communities to foster a strong sense of pride and belonging to a place.

“…According to Surjono (2006b), during the Early to Late Permian time, various rock types mainly siliciclastic and volcaniclastic rocks were deposited in the East Johor Basin. These rock types were contemporaneously deposited mainly in the shallow marine and partially in the subaerial depositional environments.…”

Conglomeratic rocks in East Johor are found in the separately three formations that are the Murau, Tanjung Leman and Linggiu Formations. The Murau Formation is characterized by cobble to boulder grained breccia with very angular to angular and disorganized clasts. It was deposited by fan-delta system in the sub-aerial to shallow marine environment. The Tanjung Leman Formation consists of pebble to cobble grained conglomerate with rounded to subrounded and organized clasts. It was deposited by braided river system in the sub-aerial environment. Both formations outcropped in eastern coastal of Johor. The rudaceous rocks of the Linggiu Formation consist of pebble to cobble-sized clasts with sub angular and disorganized texture. It present as subordinate rocks within sandstone dominant in the central part of East Johor and was deposited by debris flows in the shallow marine environment. All these rudaceous rocks were interpreted as Palaeozoic in age ranging from Late Carboniferous to Late Permian. Those rudaceous rocks indicated that since Late Carboniferous, palaeogeography of East Johor was a continent with subaerial to shallow marine depositional environment. Keywords: Conglomerate, Palaeozoic, East Johor, subaerial, shallow marine.
