| Summary: | Study on multi-channel seismic records from South Batanta Basin, West Papua acquired during RV Geomarin III cruise in 2013 were aimed to invent and map geological aspects and for geo-tectonic and geological history studies. Seismic data indicate that sediment sequences which can be observed from our seismic system in the study area are characterized by pre-extension sediments (Lower Early Miocene-Upper Early Pliocene), syn-extension sediments (Lower Middle Pliocene-Upper Late Pliocene), post-extension sediments (Early Pleistocene), and syn-inversion sediments (Late Pleistocene-Recent) typical of the West Papua tectonic system. In the study area, sediment sequences are possibly characterized by clastical sedimentary cover such as slumps, debrites and turbidites. |
