Abstract: Recent geological mapping by an Australian/Indonesian team in West and Central Kalimantan has resulted in a revised stratigraphy for the Paleozoic-Tertiary igneous and sedimentary successions in terms of (1) Continental Basement and Platform (Shelf) Sedimentary rocks, (2) Continental Arc intrusives and volcanics, (3) Oceanic Basement and overlying sedimentary rocks and (4) Foreland Rocks (Post-tectonic igneous rocks and sedimentary basins, (5) Tectonic melange and (6) Surficial deposits. Correlation charts are presented to reconcile the stratigraphy across the international border between Sarawak, East Malaysia, and Kalimantan, Indonesia.
