Abstract
Labuan Island represents the emergent part of a north-eastward plunging anticline. The stratigraphic succession at Labuan is made up of four formations: the Crocker Formation, the Temburong Formation, the Setap shale Formation and the Belait Formation. The sedimentological aspects of the Labuan stratigraphic succession have been studied by several authors but the stratigraphic relationships between the formations is still a matter of conjecture. In this paper we have undertaken an outcrop based (1) sedimentary facies analysis of the Middle Miocene Belait Formation and (2) inferred the mode of stratigraphic sequence building of the Oligocene-Miocene successions.
