... are in strata of the Carboniferous Singa Formation. The age of the Langkawi folding phase is probably post-Early Permian and pre-Early Triassic. Devonian strata containing common tentaculitid-monograptid and bivalve-brachiopod-trilobite faunas are fairly widespread in the Langkawi Islands and Kedah and Perlis...

... of this period that I have seen belong to estuarine and reef facies. It is not necessary to repeat all the evidence on which a mid-Devonian period of orogeny and possible plutonism is established in northwest Malaya. Suffice it to reiterate that the Singa Formation—a sequence of fluviatile and estuarine...

Rather than the “fairly stable conditions” postulated for the Late Devonian and Carboniferous, this flysch indicates high mobility, leading to an orogenic episode in the middle to late Carboniferous ( Burton...

The granites of Langkawi, which are unfortunately not shown in figs 1 and 2, the sedimentary formations of Machinchang (Cambrian), Setul (mainly Ordovician–Silurian), Singa (Carboniferous) and Chuping (Permian). The stratigraphy and palaeontology of the Langkawi...

To date no fossils have been found in the diamictite, and its relations with nearby units including the Carboniferous–Lower Permian Alas, Kluet and Kuantan formations and the richly fossiliferous Pangaruran Bryozoa Bed...

... as the Barisan Mountains. The Singa-1 well was drilled to TD of 12 561 ft, as a wildcat exploration well within the South Palembang Sub-basin of the South Sumatra Basin. The prospect was interpreted to be a deeply buried reef overlain by overpressured Gumai Formation shales. High temperatures...

The central unit in Blue Mountain is very similar to the Singas Formation ( Fig. 5 , Table 1 ): both are dominated (90%–95%) by slate and phyllite, with some thinly interlayered metasiltstone; both contain rare limestone interbeds; metasandstones in both...
