The Geology of Indonesia/Sulawesi 1

The Geology of Indonesia/ SulawesiGeologically, Sulawesi Island and its surrounding area is a complex region. The complexitywas caused by convergence between three lithospheric plates: the northward-movingAustralian plate, the westward-moving Pacific plate, and the south-southeast-movingEurasia plate. Regional structures, which affects the island of Sulawesi and the surroundingarea, are shown in Figure 8.1. The Makassar Strait, which separates the Sunda Platform(part of the Eurasia Plate) from the South Arm and Central Sulawesi, formed by sea-floorspreading originating in the Miocene (Hamilton, 1979, 1989; Katili, 1978, 1989). North ofthe island is the North Sulawesi Trench formed by the subduction of oceanic crust from theSulawesi Sea. To the southeast convergence has occurred between the Southeast Arm andthe northern part of the Banda Sea along the Tolo Thrust (Silver et al., 1983a, b). Bothmajor structures (the North Sulawesi Trench and Tolo Thrust) are linked by thePalu-Koro-Matano Fault system. Based on lithologic association and tectonic development,Sulawesi and its surrounding islands are divided into 3 geological provinces (Fig. 8.2): (1)the Western Sulawesi Volcanic Arc; (2) the Eastern Sulawesi Ophiolite Belt and itsassociated pelagic sedimentary covers; and (3) continental fragments derived from theAustralian continent (Hamilton, 1978, 1979; Sukamto and Simandjuntak, 1983; Metcalfe,1988, 1990; Audley-Charles and Harris, 1990; Audley-Charles, 1991; Davidson, 1991). Thecontacts between those provinces are faults.

8. 1. WESTERN SULAWESI VOLCANIC ARC The Western Sulawesi Volcanic Arc extends from South Arm through the North Arm (Fig.8.2). In general, the arc consists of Paleogene-Quaternary plutonic-volcanic rocks withMesozoic - Tertiary sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks. In this chapter thestratigraphy is divided into South Sulawesi and North Sulawesi system.8.1.1. SOUTH SULAWESIThe Geology of eastern and western South Sulawesi is distinctly different, and these twoareas are separated by the NNW-SSE trending Walanae Depression. South Sulawesi isstructurally separated from the rest of the Western arc of Sulawesi by a NW-SE trendingdepression which passes through Lake Tempe (Fig 8.3, van Leeuwen, 1981). Figure 8.4 is acompilation of the formation names and ages of lithologies in South Sulawesi, used byvarious workers. For reference a geological map and the stratigraphy of South Sulawesi arepresented in Fig 2.4 & 2.6. The following sections describe the geology of South Sulawesithrough time.8.1.1.1. Mesozoic basement complex The basement complex is exposed in two areas: in the western half of South Sulawesi near Bantimala and Barru, and consists of metamorphic, ultramafic and sedimentary rocks (Fig. 8.4). Metamorphic lithologies include amphibolite, eclogite, mica-schists, quartzites, chlorite-feldspar and graphite phyllites (t’Hoen & Zeigler, 1917; Sukamto, 1975; 1982; Berry & Grady, 1987). K/Ar dating on muscovite-garnet and quartz- muscovite schists, both from the Bantimala basement complex yielded 111 Ma (Obradovich, in Hamilton, 1979) and 115 + 7 Ma (Parkinson, in Hasan, 1991) respectively. Wakita et al.,(1994) have dated five schist samples from the Bantimala complex and one from Barru complex using K/Ar analyses and yielded an age of 132- l 14 Ma and 106 Ma respectively. This data suggests a


late early Cretaceous age for the emplacement of the basement in south Sulawesi. Thesequence unconformably overlying and tectonically intercalated with the metamorphiclithological units consists of red and grey siliceous shales, feldspathic sandstones andsiltstones, radiolarian cherts, serpentinized peridotite, basalt and diorites (Sukamto, 1975;1982; Hamilton, 1979; van Leeuwen, 1981; Wakita et al., 1994). Radiolaria extracted fromthe cherts have been dated as late Albian (latest early Cretaceous: Pessagano, in Sukamto,1975) or late Albian to early Cenomanian (Wakita et al., 1994). The presence of similarmetamorphic rocks in Java, the Meratus mountains in SE Kalimantan and Central Sulawesisuggest that the basement complex in south Sulawesi may be a dismembered fragment of alarger early Cretaceous accretionary complex (Parkinson, 1991).8.1.1.2. Late Cretaceous sedimentation The late Cretaceous sediments include the Balangbaru (Sukamto, 1975;1982; Hasan, 1991)and Marada Formations (van Leeuwen, 1981) in the western and eastern parts of westSouth Sulawesi respectively (Fig. 8.4). The Balangbaru Formation unconformably overliesthe basement complex and is composed of interbedded sandstones and silty-shales, withless important conglomerates, pebbly sandstones and conglomeratic breccias (Sukamto,1975; 1982; Hasan, 1991). The Marada Formation consists of an arenaceous succession ofalternating impure sandstones, siltstones and shales (van Leeuwen, 1981). The sandstoneare mostly feldspathic greywacke which are locally calcareous composed of subangular toangular grains of quartz, plagioclase, and orthoclase with subordinate biotite, muscoviteand angular lithic fragments embedded in a matrix of clay minerals, chlorite and sericite(van Leeuwen, 1981). Graded bedding is occasionally present in sandstone and thesandstone and siltstone. Coarser units of the Balangbaru Formation contain sedimentarystructures typical of gravity flow deposits, including the chaotic fabric of debris flows,graded bedding and sole marks indicative of turbidites (Hasan, 1991). The lithologies andfauna of the Balangbaru and contemporaneous Marada Formations to the east (vanLeeuwen, 1981; Sukamto, 1982) are typical of an open marine, deep neritic to bathyalenvironment (van Leeuwen, 1981; Sukamto, 1982; Hasan, 1991). The Marada Formation isinterpreted to be the distal equivalent of the Balangbaru Formation, based on lithologicaland grain size considerations (van Leeuwen, 1981). The tectonic setting of the BalangbaruFormation is interpreted to be a small fore-arc basin on the trench slope (Hasan, 1991). 8.1.1.3. Paleocene volcanism Volcanics of Paleocene age occur in restricted areas of the eastern part of South Sulawesiand unconformably overlie the Balangbaru Formations (Sukamto, 1975). In the Bantimalaregion these volcanics have been called Bua Volcanics (Sukamto, 1982); Langi Volcanics inBiru area (van Leeuwen, 1981; Yuwono et al., 1988). This formation consists of lavas andpyroclastic deposits of andesitic to trachy-andesitic composition with rare intercalations oflimestone and shale towards the top of the sequence (van Leeuwen, 1981; Sukamto, 1982).Fission track dating of a tuff from the lower part of the sequence yielded a Paleocene age of+ 63 Ma (van Leeuwen, 1981). The calc-alkaline nature, and enrichment of certain lightrare earth elements, suggests that the volcanics were subduction related (van Leeuwen,1981; Yuwono, 1985), probably from a west dipping subduction zone (van Leeuwen, 1981). 8.1.1.4. Eocene to Miocene volcanism and sedimentation The Malawa Formation is composed of arkosic sandstones, siltstones, claystones, marls and conglomerates, intercalated with layers or lenses of coal and limestone. This formation occurs in the western part of South Sulawesi and unconformably overlies the Balangbaru


Formation and locally the Langi Volcanics (Fig. 2.5, Sukamto, 1982). A Palaeogene age for this formation is inferred from palynomorphs (Khan & Tschudy, in Sukamto, 1982) whilst ostracods suggest an Eocene age (Hazel, in Sukamto, 1982). The Malawa Formation is inferred to have been deposited in a terrestrial/marginal marine environment passing transgressively upwards into a shallow marine environment (Wilson, 1995). The Tonasa Limestone Formation conformably overlies the Malawa Formation or the Langi Volcanics. This Formation consists of four members ’A’, ’B’, ’C’ and ’D’ from bottom to top. The ’A’ member comprises well bedded calcarenite, the ’B’ member is composed of thickly-bedded to massive limestone, the ’C’ member consists of a thick sequence of detrital limestone with abundant foraminifera and the ’D’ member is characterised by the abundant presence of volcanic material and limestone olistoliths of various ages (van Leeuwen, 1981; Sukamto, 1982). The age of the Tonasa Formation is Eocene to middle Miocene (van Leeuwen, 1981; Sukamto, 1982; Wilson, 1995). A ramp type margin is inferred for the southern margin of the Tonasa Formation, and the Tonasa Carbonate Platform is composed mainly of shallow water facies, whilst redeposited facies predominated the northern margin (Wilson, 1995). The Malawa and Tonasa Formations have a widespread distribution over the western part of South Sulawesi (Wilson, 1995). These formations do not outcrop east of the Walanae Depression (Fig. 2.4.) apart from a small outcrop of the Tonasa Limestone Formation at Maborongnge (Sukamto, 1982; Wilson, 1995). The Salo Kalupang Formation is present in the eastern part of South Sulawesi (Fig. 2.4). This formation consists of sandstones, shales and claystones interbedded with volcanic conglomerates, breccias, tuffs, lavas, limestones and marls (Sukamto, 1982). Based on foraminifera dating techniques, the age of the Salo Kalupang Formation is believed to range from the early Eocene to the Late Oligocene (Kadar, in Sukamto, 1982 and Sukamto & Supriatna, 1982). This formation is contemporaneous with the Malawa Formation and the lower part of the Tonasa Formation (Sukamto, 1982). The Kalamiseng Formation outcrops to the east of the Walanae Depression (Fig. 2.4) and comprises of volcanic breccias and lavas, in the form of pillow lavas or massive flows. These are interbedded with tuffs, sandstones and marls (Sukamto, l982; Sukamto & Supriatna, 1982; Yuwono et al., 1987). The lavas are characterised by spillitic basalts and diabases which have been metamorphosed to a greenschist facies (Yuwono et al., 1988). The Bone mountains have been interpreted as part of an ophiolitic sequence based on high gravity anomalies and the marine MORB nature (Yuwono et al., 1988). K/Ar dating on pillow lavas of the Kalamiseng Formation gave late Eariy Miocene ages (17.5+ -0.88 and 18.7+ -0.94, Yuwono et al., 1988) and this may represent an emplacement age of the suggested ophiolitic suite (Yuwono et al., 1988). Intrusive bodies are exposed in the eastern part of the Biru area and Tonasa-I (Sukamto, l982) where dating by fission track yielded an age of Early Miocene (van Leeuwen, 198l). Yuwono et al., (1987) relate these intrusive bodies to calc-alkaline volcanics in the lower member of Camba Formation and suggests that both were derived from early Miocene subduction. However, this is inconsistent with a mid- Miocene (Sukamto & Supriatna, l982) or middle to late Miocene age (Sukamto, 1982) suggested by foraminifera in marine sediments interbedded with the volcaniclastics. The lower member of the Camba Formation consists of tuffaceous sandstone, interbedded with tuff, sandstone, claystones, volcanic conglomerates and breccia, marls, limestones and coals (Sukamto, 1982; Sukamto & Supriatna, 1982). The Bone Formation has been reported by Grainge & Davies (1985) from the Kampung Baru-I well in the Sengkang area (Fig. 2.5) where it comprises bioclastic wackestone and fine grained planktonic foraminifera packstones interbedded with calcareous mudstone. The


limestones have been dated as early Miocene (N6-N8) in age (Grainge & Davies, 1985).8.1.1.5. Miocene to Recent volcanism and sedimentation The upper member of the Camba Formation described here as the Camba Volcanics, is located in the Western Divide Range forming the ’backbone’ (Fig. 2.4). This member consists of volcanic breccias and conglomerates, lavas and tuffs interbedded with marine sediments (Sukamto, 1982; Sukamto & Supriatna, 1982). Foraminiferal dating suggests a middle to late Miocene age (Sukamto, 1982) for the Camba Volcanics. The Lemo Volcanics unconformably overlie the upper Miocene Walanae Volcanics in the Biru area (van Leeuwen, 1981), K/Ar dating for Lemo Volcanics yielded an age of Pliocene (Yuwono, et al., 1988). Although Sukamto (1982) included the Lemo Volcanics as part of the Camba Volcanics, this is unlikely since the age range of Camba Volcanics is only up to the late Miocene. The lower part of Camba Volcanics (Fig. 2.5) is thought to be equivalent to the mid- Miocene Sopo Volcanics in the Biru area (van Leeuwen, 1981). The upper part of the Camba Volcanics is thought to be analogous to the Pammesurang Volcanics from the Biru area, described by van Leeuwen (1981). Yuwono et al., (1988) subdivided the Camba Volcanics into two members: Camba IIa of alkali potassic nature and Camba IIb of alkali ultrapotassic nature. Based on K/Ar dating the age of the Camba II Volcanics is determined as late Miocene (9.91 + 0.5 Ma – 6.27 + -0.31 Ma, Yuwono et al., 1988). The volcanic units of Miocene to Pleistocene age in South Sulawesi have been discussed by Yuwono et al., (1987). These includes the Baturape volcanics, a series of alkali potassic extrusive and intrusive lithologies, where K/Ar analyses yields 12.8 + 0.64 Ma (mid Miocene, Yuwono et al., l988); the Cindako volcanics have the same characteristics as the Baturape Volcanics, but K/Ar dating yielded an age of 8.2+ 0.4l Ma for the Cindako Volcanics (late Miocene, Yuwono et al., 1987). These two volcanic units are grouped together by Sukamto (l982) who suggested an upper Pliocene age on the basis that they both unconformably overlie the Camba Formation. The Soppeng Volcanics are inferred to have a late Miocene age (Yuwono et al., 1987), however, Sukamto (1982) interpreted these volcanics as early Miocene in age since they are conformably overlain by rocks of the Camba Formation. The Parepare Volcanics are remnants of a strato-volcano composed of alternating lava flows and pyroclastic breccias dated by K/Ar analyses as late Miocene (Yuwono et al., 1987). The lavas are intermediate to acidic in composition (Yuwono et al., 1987). The Plio/Pliestocene volcanics of the strato volcano of Lompobatang occupies the southern-most portion of south Sulawesi rising to a height of 2,871 m. These volcanics consist of silica undersaturated in alkali potassic and more acidic silica saturated shoshonitic lava flows and pyroclastic breccias (Yuwono et al,, 1987). The mid-Miocene to Pleistocene volcanic rocks in South Sulawesi, including the upper member of the Camba Formation, have a predominantly alkaline nature, interpreted by Yuwono et al., (1987), as a result of partial melting of the upper mantle (phlogoplite- bearing peridotite) which was previously enriched in incompatible elements by metasomatism’ (Yuwono et al., 1987). This may possibly have been linked to previous subduction in early Miocene times in a ’distensional intraplate context’ (Yuwono et al.,1987). Van Bemmelen (1949) suggested that the alkali nature of these volcanics is caused by ’excessive assimilation of the older limestones into melt’ and incorporation of continental material into a subduction-related volcanic arc (Katili, 1978). Neogene magmatism in western central Sulawesi has been related to lithospheric thickening and melting (Coffield et al., 1993; Bergman et al., 1996). The bimodal nature of Neogene igneous lithologies in this area is thought to be from the melting of ancient mantle peridotite and crust yielding alkaline basaltic (shoshonitic) and granitic composition melts


respectively (Coffield et al., 1993; Bergman et al., 1996) The late Miocene sedimentation ismarked by the development of the Tacipi Formation (see section 2.3.2). The MiddleMiocene-Pliocene (Grainge & Davies, 1983) Tacipi Formation forms the subject of thepresent study and is therefore not discussed further in this section. The Walanae Formation(see section 2.3.2) is locally unconformable on the Tacipi Formation and in places, the twounits interdigitate. The Walanae Formation is dated as mid-Miocene to Pliocene (N9-N20Sukamto, 1982) based on foraminifera, or alliteratively as predominantly Pliocene (up toN2l), with the basal units probably Late Miocene in age (Grainge A Davies, 1985). In theEast Sengkang Basin the Walanae formation can be divided into two interval: a lowerinterval made up of calcareous mudstone and an upper interval which is more arenaceous.The lower intervals outcrops intensively in the southern part of the basin which in placesinterfinger with reef talus of the Tacipi Formation. Limestones on the southern tip of SouthSulawesi (Figs. 2.2; 2.5) and on the island of Selayar are named the Selayar Limestonewhich is a member of the Walanae Formation (Sukamto & Supriatna, 1982). The SelayarMember is composed of coral limestone and calcarenite with intercalations of marl andcalcareous sandstones. This carbonate unit ranges from upper Miocene to Pliocene in age(N16-N19, Sukamto & Supriatna, 1982). Sukamto & Supriatna (1982) reported that aninterfingering relationship between the Walanae Formation & Selayar limestone occurs inthe Selayar Island. Terrace, alluvial, lacustrine and coastal deposits occur locally in SouthSulawesi. Recent uplift in South Sulawesi is characterized by raised coral reef deposits (vanLeeuwen 1981; Sukamto,1982).8.1.2. CENTRAL SULAWESIIn Central Sulawesi, Late Miocene to Recent potassic calc-alkaline magmatism occurnotably along the left lateral Palu-Koro Fault Zone (Priadi et al., 1999). This granitoid issupposed to be correlated with the collision of Banggai-Sula micro-continent with SulawesiIsland in Middle Miocene but the detailed studies about its genesis and its ascentmechanism are still limited. Based on their petrological aspects, association with otherrocks/formations, degree of alteration, and chemical characters, this Neogene granitoid canbe classified into at least three groups, from old to young, and they demonstrate asystematical change in their features: Coarse and KF-megacrystal bearing granitoid(Granitoid-C) is distributed in the northern and southern limits of Palu-Koro areas. They canbe easily recognized as they present coarse equigranular or coarse and containingKF-megacrystals. Several K-Ar age dating indicate its ages ranging from 8.39 Ma to 3.71Ma. Two petrographic characters can be distinguished: granitoid containing biotite andhornblende as mafic minerals (4.15-3.71 Ma and 7.05-6.43 Ma), and granitoid containingbiotite as major mafic mineral (8.39-7.11 Ma). Medium mylonitic-gneissic granitoids(Granitoid-B) are exposed relatively in the central areas (around Palu-Kulawi). They are allpresent medium grained granitoids and sometimes contain xenoliths. This granitoid canalso be subdivided into hornblende-biotite and biotite bearing granitoids. The former isdistributed in the southern part (Saluwa-Karangana) and dated of 5.46-4.05 Ma. Whereasthe latter which is dated 3.78-3.21 Ma exposes around Kulawi. Fine and biotite-poorgranitoid (Granitoid-A) represent the youngest granitoid in Palu-Koro area (3.07-1.76 Ma),they occur as small dykes cutting the other granitoids. The rocks are clear, white andcontaining few biotites as single mafic minerals, most of them are concentrately exposedbetween Sadaonta-Kulawi in the central parts. Together with these aplitic dykes are alsofound lamprophyric dykes (minnette type). Pre-Neogene Gneissic Granitoid (Granitoid-D) isfound in certain limited areas around Toboli. Based on geological map of Sukamto et al.


(1973) its distribution can be extrapolated to extend north-south in Toboli-Kasimbar areas.It mainly consists of granites that are composed of quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase andmuscovite. The occurrence of muscovite and its older age (96.37 Ma), makes this granitoiddiffer from the others. Laterally these granitoids present a relative circular distributionwith Granitoid-A around Kulawi as the focus and rimmed by Granitoid-B and C. The oldestGranitoid-D elongates north-south at the eastern part of the concentric distribution(Figure-1).8.1.3. NORTH SULAWESIThe North Sulawesi Arc, defined primarily on the basis of distribution of Lower Miocenearc-related rocks, extends for about 500 km onshore, from 121o E to 125 o 20’ E, and has arelatively constant width of 50 – 70 km, with elevations up to 2065 m. Higher elevations upto 3225 m are present at the neck of Sulawesi. The evolution of the North Sulawesi Arc maybe divided into two main stages, with respect to the mid- Miocene collision of the arc withthe Sula Platform: (1) west-directed subduction during the Early Miocene, and (2)post-collisional rifting and uplift of the arc, and inception of subduction along the NorthSulawesi Trench during the Late Miocene to Quaternary. Geological relationships,paleontology (summarized on published 1: 250,000 maps) and preliminary K – Ar dating(Lowder and Dow 1978, Villeneuve et al. 1990, Perello 1992, Priadi, pers. commun. 1991)suggest two main periods of magmatic activity during the Neogene and Quaternary,namely, 22 – 16Ma (Early Miocene) and younger than 9 Ma (Late Miocene – Quaternary),i.e. pre- and post-collision of the arc with the Sula Platform. Pliocene and active Quaternaryvolcanicity belonging to the Sangihe Arc (Fig. 1) conceals much of the Early Miocenegeology near Manado (Fig. 4). Small exposures of andesite and diorite below Quaternaryvolcanic cover on the Sangihe islands, north of Manado, suggest that older arc volcanicscontinue offshore, possibly to Mindanao (Fig. 1), and form the basement to the present-daySangihe Arc. Neogene arc-related volcanic rocks are absent between Tolitoli and Palu inthe neck of Sulawesi (Fig. 4), partly due to high uplift rates and deep erosion. LowerMiocene granitoids are not known, and there seems to be little evidence that the EarlyMiocene arc extended into the neck. Despite this, it is still inferred that the Early MioceneBenioff zone extended beneath the neck, and south to an intersection with the paleo-Palu –Matano transform fault (Fig. 1). In Western Sulawesi, south of Makale (Fig. 1), potassicalkaline (or shoshonitic) magmatism related to rifting rather than subduction was dominantduring the Neogene (Yuwono et al. 1985, Leterrier et al. 1990, Priadi et al. 1991).

8. 2. EASTERN SULAWESI OPHIOLITE BELT The ophiolite complex and its pelagic sedimentary cover in the East and Southeast Arms ofSulawesi was named the Eastern Sulawesi Ophiolite Belt by Simandjuntak (1986). The beltcomprises mafic and ultramafic rocks together with pelagic sedimentary rocks and melangein places. Ultramafic rocks are dominant in the Southeast Arm of Sulawesi, but mafic rocksare dominant farther north, especially along the northern coast of the East Arm (Smith,1983; Simandjuntak, 1986). A complete ophiolite sequence was reported by Simandjuntak(1986) in the East Arm, including ultramafic and mafic rocks, pillow lavas and pelagicsedimentary rocks dominated by deep-marine limestone and bedded chert intercalations.Much of the complex is highly faulted and tectonised with blocky exposures. Based onlimited geochemistry data (16 basalt samples), the Eastern Sulawesi Ophiolite Belt wasprobably of mid-oceanic ridge origin (Surono, 1995).


8.2.1. SOUTH EAST SULAWESIThe Southeast Sulawesi continental terrain occupies a large area in the Southeast Arm ofSulawesi, whereas the ophiolite belt is mainly restricted to the northern part of this arm(Fig. 2). The continental terrane, which trends northwest- southeast, is bounded by theLawanopo Fault in the northeastern edge and by the Kolaka Fault in southwestern edge(Figs 1-2). The terrain is separated from the Buton Terrain by a thrust fault, and at theeastern end there is an older ophiolite suite thrusting over. The continental terranecomprises metamorphic basernent, with minor aplitic intrusions, Mesozoic clastic andcarbonate strata, and Paleogene limestone (Fig. 2). The basement mainly consists oflow-grade metamorphic rocks. The clastic sedimentary sequences consist of the LateTriassic Meluhu Formation. Paleogene limestone units include the Tamborasi Formationand Tampakura Formaticm (Figs 2, 3). 8.2.1.1. Basement The low-grade metamorphic basement rocks form the dominant component in theSoutheast Arm (Fig. 2). Tbe age of metamorphism is not clear yet. However, there arerecognized an older metamorphic epidote-amphibolite kcies and a younger low gradedynamo-metamorphic glaucophane schist facies. The older metamorphism was related toburial, whereas the younger metamorphism was caused by large scale overthrusting whenthe Southeast Sulawesi continental terrane collided with the ophiolite belt, Themetamorphic rocks were intruded by aplite and overlain by quartz-latite lava in places,especially along the western coast of Bone Gulf. 8.2.1.2. Mesozoic sedimentary rocks In Kendari area, the basement rocks are unconformably overlain by the Late TriassicMeluhu Formation (Figs 2,3), which consists of sandstone, shale and mudstone. The MeluhuFormation composes of 3 members: from oldest to youngest they are the Toronipa,Watutaluboto and Tuetue Members. The Toronipa Member consists of meandering riverdeposits and is dominated by sandstone intercalated with conglomeratic sandstone,mudstone and shale. The Watutaluboto Member is a tidal-delta deposit dominated bymudstone intercalated with thin beds of sandstone and conglomerate. The Tuetue Memberconsists of mudstone and sandstone passing up into shallow marginal marine marl andlimestone. Sandstone in the Toronipa Member consists of litharenite, sublitharenite andquartzarenite derived from a recycle orogen source The ubiquitous metamorphic rockfragments in the sandstone indicates that the source area for the Meluhu Formation wasdominated by metamorphic basement. The metamorphic rocks were probably covered by athin sedimentary succession. The small percentage of volcanic fragments in the formationsuggests that volcanic rocks also formed a thin layer with limited lateral extent in thesource area. The rare felsic igneous fragments were probably derived from dykes and/orsi1ls that intruded the rnetamorphic basement. The Meluhu Formation is time equivalent tothe Tinala Formation of the Matarombeo Terrain and the Tokala Formation in SiombokTerrain (Figs 2,4). Lithologically, these three formations are similar, with clastic-dominatedsequences in their lower parts and become carbonate-dominated in the higher part of theformations. Halobia and Daonella in the Meluhu, Tinala and Tokala Formations indicate aLate Triassic age. The presence of ammonoids and pollen in the Tuetue Member of theMeluhu Formation strongly supports this interpretation. The clastic sedimentary sequenceof the Tinala Formation (Fig. 4), in the Matarombeo Terrane, is successively overlain by thefine-grained clastic Masiku Formation and the carbonate-rich Tetambahu Formation.


Molluscs, ammonites and belemnites are abundant in the lower part of the TetambahuFormation and indicate a Jurassic age. The upper part of the formation contains chertylimestone and chert nodules rich in radiolarians. The radiolames suggesting aJurassic-Early Cretaceous age. In the East Arm, the Tokala Formation of the Siombok andBanggai-Sula Terranes (Fig. 4), consists of limestone and marl with shale and chertintercalations. Steptorhynchus, Productus and Oxytoma are present in the formation thatsuggest a Permo-Carbonaferous age. However, Misolia and Rhynchonel1a are found withina limestone bed in the formation indicating a Late Triassic age. Due to lithological similaritybetween this formation and the upper Meluhu Formation, a Late Triassic age is mostprobable for the Tokala Formation age, while the Pamo-Carboniferous age probablyrepresents a basement age. The Tokala Formation is overlain by the pink graniticconglomerate of the Nanaka Formatian, which may have been derived from the widespreadgranitic basement in the Banggai-Sula Islands. The overlying Nambo Formation consists ofsandstone and shale containing common belemnites and ammonites indicating a Jurassicage. 8.2.1.3. Paleogene limestone Paleogene limestone sequences of the Tampakura Formation (400m thick) unconformablyoverlie the Meluhu Formation in the Southeast Sulawesi Continental Terrane. Theformation consists of oolite, lime mudstone, wackestone and locally packstone, grainstoneand framestone. In the lowest part of the formation, there is a clastic strata consisting ofmudstone, sandstone and conglomerate. The formation contains foraminiferas indicating aLate Eocene-Early Oligocene age. Nanoflora in the formation indicating a broad MiddleEocene to Middle Miocene age. Thus deposition of the formation must have taken placeduring the Late Eocene-Early Oligocene. Initial deposition was in a delta environmentwhere siliciclastic materials were dominant. A reduction in clastic sediment supply allowedan intertidal-subtidal carbonate facies to develop extensively on a low relief platform.Carbonate buildups, dominated by coralline 6amestone, and elongate carbonate sandbodies or barriers formed a rimmed shelf that protected and enclosed the carbonate tidalflat environment and isolated it from direct marine influence. Reflux dolomitizations tookplace in the intertidal- supratidal zones as Mg-rich fluids moved back towards the sea Thesimilar Paleogene carbonate sequence of the Tamborasi Formation was deposited inshallow marine environments. Based on their ages and lithologies, the Tampakura andTamborasi Formation (probably also the Lerea Formation in the Matarombeo) wereprobably deposited on a single broad shallow marine shelf, The shelf surrounded an islandcomposed of metamorphic and granitic basement and Mesozoic clastic successions(Meluhu, Tinala and Tetambahu Formations). Equivalent units in the East Arm (theBanggai-Sula Terrane) include the Eocene-Oligocene limestone of the Salodik Formation,which interfingers with marl in the Poh Formation (Figs 1, 4). 8.2.2. EASTERN SULAWESI The oldest rock formation of Triassic age is called Tokala formation. This consists oflimestone and marl with intercalations of shales and cherts, regarded as being deposited ina deep sea environment. Another rock facies of the same age deposited in a shallow sea isformed by Bunta formation consisting of altered fine-grained clastic sediments such asslate, metasandstone, silt, phyllite and schist. In the East Arm of Sulawesi is also found theso called Ophiolite complex of late Jurassic to Eocene age which originated from an oceaniccrust (Simandjuntak, 1986). This complex is found in a tectonic contact with Mesozoic


sediments and consists of mafic and ultramafic rocks such as harzburgite, lherzolite,pyroxenite, serpentinite, dunite, gabbro, diabase, basalt and microdiorite. These rocksunder went several times of deformations and displacements from their original place ofwhich the last one was of Middle Miocene age. The Tokala and Bunta formations areunconformably overlain by Nanaka formation consisting of coarse-grained well-beddedclastic sediments such as conglomerate, sandstone with intercalations of silts and coallenses. Among the fragments within the conglomerate are found red granite, metamorhpicrocks and chert which presumably originated from the socalled banggai-sulamicrocontinent (Simandjuntak, 1986). The age of this formation is assumed as Lower toMiddle Jurassic and it was formed in a paralic environment. Conformably overlying theNanaka formationis found the Nambo formation of Middle to Upper Jurassic age. Thisshallow marine unit consists of fine clastic sediments of sandy marl and marl containingbelemnite and Inoceramus. The Upper Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous Matano formationconsists of limestone with intercalations of chert, marl and silt. Unconformably overlyingthe Nambo formation are found the Salodik and Poh formations which interfingers eachother. These formations are of Eocene to Upper Miocene in age. The Salodik formationconsists of limestone with intercalation of marl and sandstone containing quartz fragments.The abundance of corals, algae and larger foraminifera found in this formation suggest thatit was formed in a shallow marine environment. The Salodik formation is in a fault contactwith the Ophiolite Complex. The Poh formation consists ofmarl and limestone withsandstone intercalations. The foraminifera assemblage of this formation indicating an ageof Oligocene to the lower part of Upper Miocene. Nanno planktons within this formationsuggest Oligocene to Middle Miocene age. The Molasse of Sulawesi which consists ofTomata, bongka, Bia, Poso,Puna and Lonsio formations (Surono, 1989) is of Middle Mioceneto Pliocene. The Molasse contains conglomerate, sandstone, silt, marl and limestone,deposited in paralic to shallow marine facies. It overlies unconformably the Salodik and Pohformations as well as the Ophiolite complex. The Middle Miocene to Late Pliocene Bualemovolcanics interfinger with the Lonsio formation of the Molasse and consist of pillow lava andvolcanic rocks. Unconformably overlying the Molasse of Sulawesi is the Pleistocene Luwukformation, consisting of coral reef limestone with intercalations of marl in its lower part. 8.2.3. SULAWESI MOLASSE The Sulawesi Molasse was deposited after the collision between the continental fragmentsand the ophiofite belt. Tbe molasse is widely distributed throughout eastern Sulawesi andconsists of coarse- to fine-grained clastic sequences with minor shallow marine carbonatesequences in places. The molasse in the Southeast Arm was divided into theconglomerate-dominated Alangga and Pandua Fonnations, a marl and limestone sequenceof the Boepinang Formation, limestone of the Eemoiko Formation, and coarse- tofine-grained clastic strata of the Langkowala Formation. Boulders of pink granite found inthe Early Miocene molasse sequences on the northern coast of the Southeast Arm and onSelabangka and Manui Islands may have been derived from the Banggai-Sula Islands. Themolasse in the Southeast Arm is slightly older (Early Miocene) than in the East Arm wherethe collision between the Banggai-Sula continental terrane and the East Sulawesi ophiolitebelt resulted in the deposition of Late Miocene molasse.


8. 3. CONTINENTAL FRAGMENTS The continental fragments in the Sulawesi region, including Central and SoutheastSulawesi, Banggai-Sula and Buton, are believed to have been derived from part of thenorthern Australian continent (Pigram et al., 1985; Metcalfe, 1988, 1990; Audley-Charlesand Harris, 1990; Audley-Charles, 1991; Davidson, 1991; Surono, 1997). They probablybroke off from the Australian continent in the Jurassic and moved northeast to their presentposition. Audley-Charles and Harris (1990), Metcalfe (1990) and Audley-Charles (1991)termed them allochthonous continental terranes. Metamorphic rocks are distributed widelyin the eastern part of Central Sulawesi, the Southeast Arm and the island of Kabaena. Themetamorphic rocks can be divided into amphibolite and epidote-amphibolite facies and alow grade dynamometamorphic group of glaucophane or blueschist facies (deRoever, 1947,1950). The amphibolite and epidote-amphibolite facies are older than the radiolarite,ophiolite and spilitic igneous rocks which are found in the metamorphic belt of the CentralSulawesi Province, while the glaucophane schist, on the other hand, is younger. Theglaucophane schist is consistent with a high pressure and low temperature petrogenesisbut these rocks have only had a reconnaissance petrological examination. Glaucophanebecomes more abundance westward (Sukamto, 1975b). Except in Buton, the metamorphicrocks were intruded by granitic rocks in the Permo-Triassic. In the Southeast Sulawesi,Banggai-Sula and Buton Microcontinents metamorphic rocks form the basements of theMesozoic basins. These rocks are unconformably overlain by thick units of Mesozoicsedimentary rocks, dominated by limestone in Buton and siliciclastic rocks in the SoutheastSulawesi and Banggai-Sula Microcontinents. Paleogene limestone is found on all of themicrocontinents (Smith, 1983; Surono, 1986, 1989a, b; Supandjono et al., 1986; Surono andSukarna, 1985; Garrad et al., 1989; Soeka, 1991). In the Late Oligocene-Middle Miocenetime, westward-moving slices of one or more Indonesian-Australian microcontinentscollided with the ophiolite complex of East and Southeast Sulawesi. The collision producedmelange and an imbricate island arc zone of Mesozoic and Paleogene sedimentary stratafrom the microcontinents, with overthrust slices of ophiolite (Silver et al., 1983a, b). Duringthe collision, local sedimentary basins formed in Sulawesi. After the collision, basinsbecame more widely developed throughout Sulawesi. Sedimentation in the Southeast Armbegan earlier (Early Miocene) than in the East Arm (Late Miocene, Smith, 1983; Surono,1989a, b). Both these sequences are commonly referred to as the Sulawesi Molasse(Sarasin and Sarasin, 1901) and consist of a major clastic succession and minor reefallimestone. Most of the molasse was deposited in a shallow marine environment but in someplaces it was deposited in fluvial to transitional environments (Simandjuntak et al., 1981a,b, 1984; Surono et al., 1983; Rusmana et al., 1988; Surono, 1989a, b, 1996).

8. 4 BONE BASIN Bone Basin is located between south and southeast arm of Sulawesi, interpreted as acomposite basin, with its origin as a subduction complex and suture between Sundalandand Gondwana-derived microcontinents, which subsequently evolved as a submergedintramontane basin. Tectonic and stratigraphic evolutions of the Bone Basin are still poorlyunderstood due to limited data. A new model based on surface geology, seismic and singlewell data is presented for the tectonic and stratigraphic evolution of Bone Basin. DuringEarly Tertiary or older, a westward subduction complex was probably developed to the eastof western Sulawesi and Bone Basin was in a fore arc setting. A collisional event occurred


between Australian-derived microcontinents and the Early Tertiary accretionary complexduring Middle Miocene resulting in eastward obduction of the accretionary complex duringMiddle Miocene resulting in eastward obduction of the accretionary complex onto themicrocontinents. The westerly continental moving microcontinents then collided againstand partly was subducted beneath the western Sulawesi during Late Miocene. Thecompression from the collision propagated a major back-thrust system westward to thesubduction zone generating foldbelts as indicated by the west-verging Kalosi and Majnefold belts. The two colliding plates then were locked up during the Pliocene and thecontinued plate convergence was accommodated by strike-slip movements along theWalanae, Palukoro and other faults. In the southern part of Bone Basin, westerly movementof the microcontinents did not reach the collision stage with western Sulawesi. Instead,Southeast Sulawesi was rotated eastward resulting in a major extensional fault cuttingalong the middle of the Bone Basin (Sudarmono, 1999). Stratigraphic record is very limitedas only one well was drilled in the basin. The well indicates that the northern part of theBone Basin basically consist of two marine sedimentary packages separated by a majorPliocene unconformity, which are pre-collision and post-collision sediments. Thepre-collision sediments is of Late to Lower Miocene age consisting of predominantlycalcareous claystone with rare limestone beds in the upper part and a conglomeratic layerin the lowermost part. The post-collision sediment is a syn-orogeneic sequence consisting ofinterbedded sands and clays with a few thin sporadic lenses of lignites. The lowermost partof the package and overlying the major Pliocene unconformity is a layer of fine to coarsegrain sandstones grading to conglomerates (Sudarmono, 1999).

8. 5. STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY Sulawesi Island and its surroundings is one of the most complicated active margin in termof geology, structure and tectonic as well. The region represents a center of triple junctionplate convergene, due to the interaction of three major earth crusts (plates) in Neogenetimes (Simandjuntak, 1992). This convergence gave rise to the development of all type ofstructures in all scales, including subduction and coliision zone, fault and thrust andfolding. At present most of the Neogene structures and some of the pre-Neogene structuresare still being activated or reactivated. The major structures include Minahasa Trench,Palu-Koro Fault System and its spalys of Balantak-Sula Fault, Matano Fault, LawanopoFault, Kolaka Fault and Kabaena Fault, Batui Thrust, Poso Thrust and Walanae Fault.8.5.1. MINAHASA TRENCHThe Minahasa Trench is surfece expression of Benioff zone, inwhich the Sulawesi Sea crustbeing subducted beneath the North Arm of Sulawesi in late Palogene times (Fitch, 1970;Katili, 1971; Cardwell and Isacks, 1978; Hamilton, 1979; McCaffrey et al, 1983;Simandjuntak, 1993a). The subduction seems to be culminated in Neogenecomtemporaneously with the west-southwest dipping collision zone between the EasternSulawesi Ophiolite Belt against the Banggai-Sula Platform along the Batui Thrust in thesouth. Seismicity suggests that at the present the Minahasa Trench seems to be dying out(Mc Caffrey et al, 1983; Kertapati et al, 1992). Simandjuntak (1988) suggested thatrecently, the eastern portin of the subduction zone seems to have been reactivated andproduced the Minahasa Volcanic arc.8.5.2. PALU-KORO FAULT SYSTEM


The Palu-Koro Fault System for the first time is defined by Sarasin (1901), and Rutten(1927) described the fault zone stretched on nearly N-S direction for at least 300 km long inCentral Sulawesi. Sudrajat (1981) described that the Palu-Koro Fault stretchs from westPalu City to the Bone Bay in the southeast for some 250 km long and calculated thetranscurrent movement in the ranging of 2-3.5 mm to 14-17 mm/year. Tjia (1981) analysedthe rate of up-lifting of coralline reefs within the fault zone of some 4.5 mm/year. Indriastuti(1990) calcaulated the means of horizontal maovement of 1.23 mm/year. Bemmelen (1970)and Katili (1978) suggested that the northern portion of the fault system is dominated byvertical movement whereas the southern part is dominated by sinistral wrench movement.Walpersdorf et al (1997) on the basis of interferometric GPS analysis found out that thesinistral wrench movement of the Palu-Koro Fault System on te rate of 3.4 mm/year.Seismicity shows that at the present the Palu-Koro Fault being at least segmentlyreactivated (Kertapati et al, 1992; Soehaemi and Firdaus, 1995 ). Simandjuntak (1993a, b)thought that the Palu-Koro Fault System continued to Bone Bay, cut across the FloresThrust and terminated in the Timor Trough in the south and to the north is termianted inMinahasa Trench. He also pointed out that during the history of fault movement, thePalu-Koro Fault was dominated by a sinistral transpressional movement, giving rise to theup-lifting of the mountain ranges along the fault zone. Althought in recent time the faultsystem was subjected to a transtensional sinistral wrenching causing the development ofgraben like basins such as Palu Valley and small lakes in many parts along the fault zone.He also further suggested that the development of Bone Bay was magnified by the sinistraltranstensioanl movement of Palu-Koro Fault System in very late Neogene time. ThePalu-Koro Fault System in Sulawesi is connected with Sorong Fault System in Irian Jawa viaBalantak-Sula Fault, Matano-South Buru Fault. To the south the Palu-Koro Fault mergeswith the Lawanopo Fault. Kolaka Fault and Kabaena Fault (Simandjuntak, 1993a)..8.5.3. BATUI THRUSTSimandjuntak (1993a) defined that the Batui Thrust is surface expression of the collisionzone between Banggai-Sula Platform against Eastern Sulawesi Opiolite Belt in Neogenetime. The thrust bounds the ophiolite belt in the hanging wall from the micro-continents inthe foot wall regims. The thrust can be obsrved clearly on the landsat imagery of the region(Hamilton, 1979). The thrust strechts from Balantak in the eastern tip of the East Arm ofSulawesi to the SW in Morowali, Tomori Bay. The thrust is disrupted and cut across by anumber strike-slip fault, Toili Fault, Ampana Fault and Wekuli Fault. Its continuationfurther to the south in central, Southeast Arm, Buton and Kabaena Islands seems to havebeen greatly disrupted and modified by post-collision faults and hence it can not be tracedas a continuous thrust zone. Seismicity shows that at present the thrust might bereactivated (McCaffrey et al, 1983; Kertapati et al, 1992). The occurrence of at least threeterraces of Quaternary coraline reefs along the southern coast of the East Arm of Sulawesialso testifies the recent reactivation of the thrust (Simandjuntak, 1986, 1993a).8.5.4. POSO THRUSTPoso Thrust is defined as structural contact zone between the Central SulawesiMetamorphic Belt (CSMB) and the Western Sulawesi Magmatic Belt (Bemelen, 1949;Hamilton, 1979; Simandjuntak et al, 1991; Simandjuntak et al, 1992). The thrust is believedto have instrumented the up-thrusting of high pressure metamorphics (CSMB) from thedepth in Benioff zone on to the top of magmatic belt in Neogene times. Seismicity suggeststhat at the present the thrust is no longer active (Kertapati et al, 1992). However, the


recent earth quake in the west coast of Tomini Bay indicates that at least the northernportion of the thrust being reactivated.8.5.5. WALANAE FAULTThe Walanae Fault is defined as a sinistral wrench faulting trending in NW-SE direction,cut across the South Arm of Sulawesi. The fault seems to be continued further to thenorthwest cut across Makassar Strait and merged with the Phaternoster-Lupar suture inKalimantan and to the south is terminated in the Flores Thrust. In Quaternary the faultseems to have been reactivated transtensionally causing the development of WalanaeDepression. Seismicity suggests that at the present the fault is no longer active or dyingout.8.5.6. NOTES ON THE MAKASSAR STRAITKatili (1978) suggested that the Makassar Strait was tectonically developed due to therifting of the region with axis trending nearly N-S direction parallel to the long axis of thestrait. Situmorang (1983), on the basis of seismic reflection profile across Makassar Straitfound out that no a new developing oceanic crust beneath of the Tertiary sequences at thesea floor of the strait. He further suggested that the basement of the strait is more likely ofcontinental crust. The occurrence of the Neogene fissured volcanics in and along theLupar-Phaternoster suture and other parts in the interior of Kalimantan (Bergman et al,1988; Harahap, 1996; Hutchison, 1996; Simandjuntak, 1999) and a similar sosoniticvolcanics in wsetern South Arm of Sulawesi (Pryadi, 199 ) suggest the development ofextensional tectonic in the region on Neogene times. The development of Makassar Straitmore likely being related with the extensional tectonic occurring in many parts of centralIndonesia in Neogene times.

8. 6. TECTONIC DEVELOPMENT OF SULAWESI The peculiar ‘K’ shaped of Sulawesi Island may indicates the complexity of geology andtectonics of the region. On the basis of data obtained on geology and geophysicsSimandjuntak (1993) summarized the tectonic evolution of Sulawesi and its surroundings,which is related with the (re)occurrence of a number types of tectonism, including a)Cretaceous Cordileran type subduction, b) Mesozoic tectonic divergence, c) NeogeneTethyan type collision and d) Quaternary double opposing collision.8.6.1. CRETACEOUS CORDILERAN TYPE SUBDUCTIONA Cretaceous Cordileran type subduction is recorded by the development of a west-dippingBenioff zone in and along western Sulawesi, inwhich the proto- Banda Sea crust subductedbeneath south-southest margins of Sunda Shield (SE Eurasian Craton). The occurrence ofLate Cretaceous high pressure metamorphic rocks in the Central Sulawesi MetamorphicBelt, the Cretaceous-Paleogene melange wedges associated with metamorphics andophiolitic rocks, the Paleogene volcanics in the Westren Sulawesi Magmatic Belt and theophiolites in the Eastern Sulawesi Ophiolite Belt are thought to have been developed duringand subsequent to this subduction (Simandjuntak, 1980). The presence of LateCretaceous-Paleogene flysch sediments associated with basaltic lavas may represent anupper trench slope sequences during this palte convergence.8.6.2. MESOZOIC TECTONIC DIVERGENCEMeanwhile, further to the south-southeast, subsequently after the Permo-Triassic thermal doming the northern continental margins of Australia were rifted due essentially to the


extensional tectonic. The continental fragments, then were detached and displacednorth-northwestwards to form the present micro-continents in the Banda Sea region(Pigram & Panggabean, 1984), including the Banggai-Sula Paltform, Tukangbesi-ButonPlatform and Mekongga Platform (Simandjuntak, 1986), During the history of thedetacheement and northwestwards displacement, the continental blocks were fragmentedto form those micro-continents occurring in the Banda Sea region. And by the Neogenetimes, some of the micro-continents were collided with the subduction complex andophiolite belt in the western margin of Banda Sea region. The tectonic divergence seems tobe essentially dominated by a transcurrent-transformal displacement along the line ofSorong Fault System together with its splays of steep faults in the region (Simandjuntak,1986, 1993).8.6.3. NEOGENE TETHYAN TYPE COLLISIONThe north-northwestwards moving continental fragments (micro-continents) ofBanggai-Sula Platform, Tukangbesi-Buton Platform and Mekongga Platform collided withthe subduction complex (CSMB) and the ophiolite belt (ESOB) in Neogene times. Thistectonic convergence is typically Tethyan collision inwhich the the platforms underplatedthe ophiolite belt and subduction complex. At present the collision zone is marked by theoccurrence of Neogene melange wedges in places along the Batui Thrust in the East Arm ofSulawesi (Simandjuntak, 1986). The collision characteristically produced no volcanic arcand geometrically without the development of fore-arc and back-arc basinal setting(Simandjuntak, 1988). The end products of this collision is characteristicaaly marked by theobduct-ing (up-thrusting) of the ophiolite suite onto the margins of the micro-continents andthe thrusting-up of the subduction complex (CSMB) over the Western Sulawesi magmaticarcs (Simandjuntak, 1991; Bergman et al, 1996). The Papua New Guinea Ophiolite Belt isalso emplaced by an obduction tectonics (Davies, 1976). During the end and subsequent tothis collision, the deposition of post-orogenic coarse clatics of mostly molasse typesediments took place in the Late Neogene times. The molasses are mostly marine, butpartly are terrestrials as indicated by the occurrence of lensoidal lignites, which seems tohave been acummulated in an isolated and fault-bounded graben like basins especially inthe interior of Central Sulawesi. The marine molasse at least partly seem to have beendeposited in a submarine fan environmental setting.8.6.4. QUATERNARY DOUBLE OPPOSING COLLISIONAt present an active volcanics in and along the Minahasa-Sangihe Volcanic Arc appears tohave been initiated by the development of a double- opposing subduction in northernSulawesi in Neogene and reactivated in Quaternary. The plate convergence is marked bythe development of south-southeastwards-dipping subducted crust of Sulawesi Sea beneaththe North Arm of Sulawesi couples with the westward-dipping subducted crust of MalukuSea in the north with its southern continuation along the Batui Thrust, inwhich theBanggai-Sula Platform underpalted the Eastern Sulawesi Ophiolite Belt in the East Arm ofSulawesi (Simandjuntak, 1991). On the basis micro-seismicity analysis McCaffrey et al(1983) suggest that the southern collision might be (re) activated at the present time. Theoccurrence of at least three terraces of Quaternary reefal limestones in and along thesouthern coast of the East Arm of Sulawesi testifies the reactivati-on of thie plateconvergence and the rapid uplifting of the region.

LicenseVersion 1.2, November 2002 Copyright (C) 2000,2001,2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA Everyone is permitted to copyand distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

0. PREAMBLEThe purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyonethe effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this Licensepreserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others. This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements theGNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software. We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program shouldcome with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for anytextual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purposeis instruction or reference.

1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed underthe terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions statedherein. The "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept thelicense if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law. A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/ortranslated into another language. A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers orauthors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject.(Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matterof historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them. The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that theDocument is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant.The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none. The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Documentis released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words. A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public,that is suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (fordrawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formatssuitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged tothwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount oftext. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML usinga publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent imageformats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGMLor XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by someword processors for output purposes only. The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this Licenserequires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominentappearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text. A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text thattranslates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", "Dedications","Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ"according to this definition. The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimersare considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these WarrantyDisclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License.

2. VERBATIM COPYING You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices,and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever tothose of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute.However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions insection 3. You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies.

3. COPYING IN QUANTITY If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document'slicense notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on thefront cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The frontcover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copyingwith changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying inother respects. If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover,and continue the rest onto adjacent pages. If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copyalong with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public hasaccess to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latteroption, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy willremain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents orretailers) of that edition to the public. It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them achance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.

4. MODIFICATIONS You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the ModifiedVersion under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of theModified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there

were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that versiongives permission.

B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, togetherwith at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from thisrequirement.

C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher.D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices.F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this

License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the

Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, andpublisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.

License 19

J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the networklocations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a networklocation for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to givespermission.

K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance andtone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.

L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not consideredpart of the section titles.

M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version.N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from theDocument, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in theModified Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties--for example,statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard. You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of CoverTexts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by)any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entityyou are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added theold one. The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or implyendorsement of any Modified Version.

5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions,provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as InvariantSections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers. The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there aremultiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, inparentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the sectiontitles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled "History"; likewisecombine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements."

6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of thisLicense in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatimcopying of each of the documents in all other respects. You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License intothe extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.

7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distributionmedium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation's users beyondwhat the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate whichare not themselves derivative works of the Document. If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entireaggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of coversif the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate.

8. TRANSLATION Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing InvariantSections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections inaddition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document,and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices anddisclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version willprevail. If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) willtypically require changing the actual title.

9. TERMINATION You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify,sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have receivedcopies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will besimilar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See http:/ / www. gnu. org/ copyleft/ .Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "orany later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that hasbeen published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose anyversion ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.

How to use this License for your documents To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the License in the document and put the following copyright and license noticesjust after the title page: Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME. Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU FreeDocumentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts,and no Back-Cover Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free Documentation License".If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this: with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the situation. If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free softwarelicense, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software.
