Abstract:

The Southwest Borneo (SW Borneo) block belongs to Sundaland and is the oldest continental fragment of Borneo that is believed to derive from the Gondwana land. The U-Pb isotopic dating ages of 113 detrital zircons from sandstones of the Ketapang Complex in SW Borneo range from 3 298 Ma to 78 Ma, and show six major age populations:2 476-2 344 Ma, 2 016-1 831 Ma, 1 296-759 Ma, 455-406 Ma, 262- 210 Ma, and 187-78 Ma. The youngest age of these detrital zircons is 78 Ma, indicating that the maximum depositional age of the sandstones is Campanian. Permian-Late Cretaceous detrital zircons are interpreted as having been derived from the nearby Schwaner Mountains and the Permian-Triassic tin belt granitoids in Southeast Asia (SE Asia). Archean-Carboniferous detrital zircons have a continental Gondwana provenance, with their age spectra similar to those of northwestern Australia, indicating that these zircons could be derived from the orogenic belts and cratons in northwestern and central Australia. The provenance of these detrital zircons in this study indicates the SW Borneo block was located on the northwestern margin of Australia during the Paleozoic, in the region of the Banda Embayment. SW Borneo rifted from Australia and moved northward in the Early Jurassic, and this block was added to Sundaland in the Early Cretaceous. The Luconia-Dangerous Grounds continental fragment derived from East Asia collided with SW Borneo after subduction in the Cretaceous, which induced the widespread magmatism in the Schwaner Mountains in SW Borneo.
