Abstract
The Paleogene regional tectonic setting of Sabah is very complex with southeasterly subduction of the proto-South China Sea in NW Borneo (Hall, 1996), followed by a period of continued deposition of deep marine Rajang Group turbidites. The Late Eocene tectonic deformation is characterized by folding, thrusting and regional uplift related to the collision of the Luconia Continental Block against NW Borneo (Sarawak Orogeny; Hutchison, 1996).
