“…Lim and Hen (1985) suggested ages of 27 Ka or 146 younger, while Rangin et al (1990) obtained whole rock K-Ar dates of 2.8-3.1 Ma. However, 147 Bellon and Rangin (1991) concede that the K-Ar data remain suspect, concluding that 148 volcanism injected along the fissures is probably very young and that these faults are still 149 active.…”

“…The most evident source for massive supply of quartz-rich elastics was Sabah, where the Crocker Formation has been exposed since early middle Miocene time. The apex of this clastic sedimentation in both basins corresponds with deposition of the Sebahat Formation of southern Sabah, a molasse deposit dated at Zone NN8 (Rangin et al, 1990a). The numerous coal fragments found in these turbidities at Sites 767 and 768 have sources either in the coal-rich deposits of the middle Miocene circular basins of Sabah or in the coal deposits of the Lumbog Formation of Zamboanga (Antonio, 1972).…”

“…These dates agree well with the 14.7-Ma age obtained by Kuddrass et al (1987) from volcanics drilled at Sites 769 and 771. Cagayan Ridge may extend to the Sandakan area in Sabah, where upper Oligocene (Zone NP25) sediments are mixed with tuffs, massive andesitic flows, and microbreccias (Rangin et al, 1990a). If the nannofossils are not reworked, this age would be the oldest available for the Cagayan Ridge volcanic activity.…”

Neogene Tectonic Evolution of the Celebes-Sulu Basins: New Insights from Leg 124 Drilling

The Neogene tectonic evolution of the Celebes-Sulu basins is discussed on the basis of representative seismic profiles, published industrial wells, and Leg 124 drilling results. The study is also based on geological data collected all around the margins of these basins. A synthetic cross section was built from the South China Sea to Sulawesi, and correlation of the major magmatic and tectonic events was attempted. We suggest that these basins and their margins (Celebes-Sulu block) collided with the rifted margin of China (Reed Bank) around 16 Ma. A main event of submarine pyroclastic emplacement coincided with this collision. The Sulu Basin probably opened in a back-arc position for the Cagayan volcanic arc in early Miocene time. Incipient closing of the Sulu and Celebes basins, still presently active, is documented within their sedimentary cover.

Growth of the Maritime Continent and its possible contribution to recurring Ice Ages

The areal extent of the Maritime Continent (the islands of Indonesia and surrounding region) has grown larger by~60% since 5 Ma. We argue that this growth might have altered global climate in two ways that would have contributed to making recurring Ice Ages possible. First, because rainfall over the islands of the Maritime Continent not only is heavier than that over the adjacent ocean but also correlates with the strength of the Walker Circulation, the growth of the Maritime Continent since 5 Ma may have contributed to the cooling of the eastern tropical Pacific since that time. Scaling relationships between the strength of the Walker Circulation and rainfall over the islands of the Maritime Continent and between sea surface temperature (SST) of the eastern tropical Pacific and the strength of easterly wind stress suggest that the increase in areal extent of islands would lead to a drop in that SST of 0.75°C. Although only a fraction of the 3-4°C decrease in SSTs between the eastern and western tropical Pacific, the growth of the Maritime Continent may have strengthened the Walker Circulation, increased the east-west temperature gradient across the Pacific and thereby enabled ice sheets to wax and wane over Canada since 3 Ma. Second, because the weathering of basaltic rock under warm, moist conditions extracts CO 2 from the atmosphere more rapidly than weathering of other rock or of basalt under cooler or drier conditions, the increase in weathering due to increasing area of basalt in the Maritime Continent may have drawn down enough CO 2 from the atmosphere to affect global temperatures. Simple calculations suggest that increased weathering of basalt might have lowered global temperatures by 0.25°C, possibly important for the overall cooling.
