Abstract

Summary

A recent sedimentology study of the Kenny Hill Formation in Selangor, Malaysia, synthesized with previous work, has given new insight into the depositional facies of the formation and its glaciogenic origin. Coastal Transgressive-regressive cycles correlate to the global eustatic sea-level changes during the Late Paleozoic Ice Age. Submarine fans developed at the base of low-stand canyon incised canyons, opening the possibility of a new play on Sibumasu.
