(Sumatra Tertiary basins evolution related to oblique subduction and indentation from Indo-Australian and
Eurasian plates collision. Rift-sag geometry with plate-margin parallel sag basins over N-S-oriented grabens.
Grabens control lacustrine source-rock distribution. Ombilin Basin three-fold evolution. Eocene sedimentation
controlled by normal faults, not strike-slip, suggesting genetic relationship with N-S-oriented early Tertiary of
N, C and S Sumatra Basins not local pull-apart related to Sumatra Fault Zone. Oligocene sedimentation
dominated by fluvial deposition at time of active volcanism and strike-slip faulting, indicating modification of
initial basin style by strike slip along Sumatra Fault Zone. E Miocene dominated by marine deposits and
thermal subsidence. Uplift to present intramontane setting and differentiation from C and S Sumatra Basins in
M Miocene or later. Similar genetic origin to C and S Sumatra Basins is suggested)

(Paleogene basin with > 10,000’ sediment under Bengkulu shelf interpreted to be continuation of S Sumatran
graben system. Mid-Oligocene unconformity truncates basement high and signifies possible change in tectonic
configuration of region. Switch of rapid subsidence from E side of basement high to W side with initiation of
Sumatran forearc. Right-lateral slip along Sumatran fault began in M Miocene. Restoring ~150 km offset along
Sumatran fault causes graben to line up with S Sumatra Benakat Gully. Neogene transgressive cycle began with
deposition of E Miocene Baturaja carbonates. M Miocene Parigi carbonate between fine clasticts and younger
