Facies Study of the Halang Formation Turbidites in Cibalung Area, Cimanggu District, Cilacap Regency, Central Java - Indonesia

Well preserved outcrops of the Late Miocene Early Pliocene turbidites Halang formation exposed around Cibalung area in Central Java. A continuous exposure of the Halang Formation found along Cimindi and Cikawung River are considered highly representative for detailed facies studies (Irawan).

However, it has not been extensively studied, until now.This study focuses on the sedimentation structure, vertical and lateral sedimentary facies association to determine the depositional environment of the Halang formation.

The study area lies on the Bogor Zone which is defined as a 30 km-long anticlinorium stretching in east-west trend. Anticlinorium stretching from West to East. Based on the works from Kastowo and Suwarna, the oldest rock formation that discovered on the western side of North Serayu Range is the Pemali formation.
