Abstrak: Jujukan litologi dalam Sinklin Ulu Bok di Sarawak Utara telah dinamakan sebagai Formasi Belait oleh ahli geologi terdahulu menerusi kajian gambar udara dan pemetaan geologi. Pemetaan geologi kini menunjukkan bahawa istilah Formasi Belait tidak sesuai untuk sinklin ini. Padahal, jujukan litologi dalam sinklin ini memperlihatkan ciri-ciri Formasi Lambir. Kedua-dua formasi ini boleh dibezakan daripada kewujudan litofasies berkapur, konkresi siderit dan fosil. Kehadiran litofasies berkapur, konkresi siderit dan fosil yang melimpah menunjukkan jujukan ini berpihak kepada Formasi Lambir, sementara ketiga-tiga ciri tersebut jarang dijumpai di dalam Formasi Belait.

Abstract: The lithologic sequence of the Ulu Bok Syncline in North Sarawak was named the Belait Formation by previous geologists through areal photograph studies and geological mapping. Current geological mapping shows that the term Belait Formation is not suitable for this syncline. The lithologic sequence in this syncline revealed the characteristics of the Lambir Formation instead. These two formations can be differentiated by the occurrences of calcareous lithofacies, siderite concretions and fossils. The presence of calcareous lithofacies, abundant siderite concretions and diverse faunas in the Ulu Bok Syncline indicate that the sequence belongs to the Lambir Formation, whereas all these criteria are hardly found in the Belait Formation.
