“…Sedimentologic and stratigraphic analyses of Mesozoic forearc basins along the western Laurentian continental margin provide outstanding first-order constraints on the tectonic evolution of the margin (e.g., Dickinson, 1976Dickinson, , 1995Dickinson and Seely, 1979;Ingersoll, 1979Ingersoll, , 1983Busby-Spera and Boles, 1986;Mustard, 1994). Regional analysis of stratigraphic successions within these forearc sequences relies on litho-and biostratigraphic correlations, which are useful but limited in scope.…”

Accurate reconstruction of the Late Cretaceous paleogeography and tectonic evolution of the western North American Cordilleran margin is required to resolve the long-standing debate over proposed large-scale, orogen-parallel terrane translation. The Nanaimo Basin (British Columbia, Canada) contains a high-fidelity record of orogenic exhumation and basin subsidence in the southwestern Canadian Cordillera that constrains the tectonic evolution of the region. Integration of detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology, conglomerate clast U-Pb geochronology, detrital muscovite 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology, and Lu-Hf isotopic analysis of detrital zircon defines a multidisciplinary provenance signature that provides a definitive linkage with sediment source regions north of the Sierra Nevada arc system (western United States). Analysis of spatial and temporal provenance variations within Nanaimo Group strata documents a bimodal sediment supply with a local source derived from the adjacent magmatic arc in the southern Coast Mountains batholith and an extra-regional source from the Mesoproterozoic Belt Supergroup and the Late Cretaceous Atlanta lobe of the Idaho batholith. Particularly robust linkages include: (1) juvenile (εHf >+10) Late Cretaceous zircon derived from the southern Coast Mountains batholith; (2) a bimodal Proterozoic detrital zircon signature consistent with derivation from Belt Supergroup (1700–1720 Ma) and ca. 1380 Ma plutonic rocks intruding the Lemhi subbasin of central Idaho (northwestern United States); (3) quartzite clasts that are statistical matches for Mesoproterozoic and Cambrian strata in Montana and Idaho (northwestern United States) and southern British Columbia; and (4) syndepositional evolved (εHf >−10) Late Cretaceous zircon and muscovite derived from the Atlanta lobe of the Idaho batholith. These provenance constraints support a tectonic restoration of the Nanaimo Basin, the southern Coast Mountains batholith, and Wrangellia to a position outboard of the Idaho batholith in Late Cretaceous time, consistent with proposed minimal- fault- offset models (<~1000 km).

“…The modal composition of sandstones is a useful tool not only for establishing source areas but also to look into the relation between shifts in compositional framework and paleogeographic modifications in sedimentary basins (Ingersoll, 1983;Net and Limarino, 2006;Garzanti et al, 2007;Caracciolo et al, 2011;Spalletti et al, 2012). Sandstone composition does not depend exclusively on the source rocks, since it may also be affected by the physiography and chemical weathering in the source area, the reworking and abrasion of the sediments during transportation and sedimentation, and diagenetic effects (e.g.…”

“…Some kinds East Kalimantan Province, based on Petrography Data (S. Maryanto) Figure 15. Plotting of sandstone components in the triangle diagrams according to Ingersoll and Suczek (1979) showing the provenance of the Lati sandstone, Berau area, East Kalimantan. The provenance of the Lati Formation at Berau area, East Kalimantan, generally comes from recycled orogenic environment, in particular on the quartz-rich region, which is presumed to be a granitic rock.…”

“…The third plotting was carried out on the Qp-Lvm-Lsm and Lm-Lv-Ls diagrams according to Ingersoll and Suczek (1979) which also determined the regional tectonic of source rock environment. Based on diagram of Qp-Lvm-Lsm, it can be seen that the source of Lati Formation is the suture belt to the rifted continental margins.…”

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v7i3.143This study is focused on the provenance and diagenetic processes affecting the sandstones of Lati Formation cropping out at Berau Area, East Kalimantan Province. Petrographic analysis of twenty-two samples from this formation shows that these sandstones are classified as litharenite, feldspathic litharenite, sublitharenite, feldspathic wacke, and lithic wacke, which are partially calcareous. Preserved diagenetic processes were visible on the petrographic analysis including cementation, replacement, dolomitization, compaction, and dissolution. The provenance of these sandstones is dominated by granitic rocks initiated from tectonic setting of rifted continental margin, transported toward southeast.
