Indonesia. Economic Geol. 85, p. 99-111.
(M Triassic Tanjungpandan batholith on Belitung associated with major alluvial tin ore deposits. Two rock
suites: widespread biotite granite and more restricted quartz syenite. Hydrothermal removal of tin by high-T
fluids allowed exceptional degree of redistribution of tin)

(Early paper explaining origin of continental shelves as drowned coastal peneplains during Pleistocene
lowered sea level. Sunda shelf averages 40-50m depth and has remnants of river valleys. Coral reefs relatively
rare in Sunda Sea, probably because of rapid drowning. Line of coral islands in S China Sea follows 40
fathoms contour, believed to follow paleo-coastline of Pleistocene Sunda land. Similarly, modern reefs lining
Borneo Bank (=Paternoster Platform) near Makassar Straits mark NE margin of Pleistocene Sundaland)
