Dunit Unit

The discussion of the world's units in the study area includes a description of the
basic naming, distribution and thickness, lithological characteristics including
megaskopis and petrographic characteristics, age, formation environment and
stratigraphic relationship with other rock units.

3.2.1.1 Basic Naming

The basis for naming units is based on unofficial lithostratigraphy based on

lithological features, lithology dominance, lateral distribution and can be mapped on a
map scale of 1: 25,000. The lithology that makes up this unit is dunit.

The naming of lithology in this unit is based on naming in a microscopic and

microscopic manner. Megaskpois observations are determined directly on the
physical characteristics and mineral composition that can be observed directly with
the ordinary eye, then naming it using igneous rock classification according to Fenton
(1940). The microscopic naming is done through observation under a polarizing
microscope to determine the physical and optical characteristics and the description
of the specific mineral composition. The microscopic naming is based on the
classification of ultramafic rocks according to Streckeisen (1973) in Le Maitre
(2002). Based on the above, this unit is named a dunit unit.

3.2.1.4. Establishment environment and age

Determination of the formation environment and age in dunit units in the study area is
based on the principle of comparability to the regional stratigraphy of the study area
and the results of previous researchers based on the dominance and similarity of
lithological physical characteristics encountered in the field and petrographic
observations of official units, as well as comparisons of locations comparable type of
formation.

The physical characteristics of the dunits in the study area have fresh black and gray
color, weathered brown color, texture in the form of holocrystalline crystallinity,
faneritic granularity, subhedral-anhedral mineral form, mineral composition
composed of olivine, pyroxine and plagioclase. Whereas the petrographic
observations have colors on nikol parallel to brownish yellow, color on nikol grayish
brown cross, texture of holocrystalline crystallinity, faneritic granularity, shape of
subhedral - anheral minerals, inequigranular relations, mineral size of 0.125 - 1.2mm,
composition of holocrystalline crystallinity, faneritic granularity, form of subhedral
minerals - anheral, inequigranular relations, mineral size of 0.125 - 1.2mm,
composition of holocrystalline crystals, olivine minerals (90) -94%) and clinopiroxin
(4-6%) and orthopiroxin (2-3%) and albits (2-4%). Based on these characteristics, the
dunit unit in the study area can be compared with the members of the ultramafic rock
of the East Sulawesi Ophiolite Lane (MTosu) which have black, solid and solid color
characteristics, the constituent minerals are 90% olivine, pyroxene, plagioclase, a
little serpentine and magnetite. (Simandjuntak, et al 1991).
Based on the comparability with the members of the East Sulawesi (MTosu)
Ophthalmic Rock ultramafic rock, the dunit unit in the study area is formed on
oceanic crust and has a age when the Early Cretaceous.

3.2.1.5. Stratigraphic Relations

The relationship between the dunit unit and the older units below it is unknown
because the outcrop is not found in the field, the dunit unit relationship with the easier
unit in the form of the most specified peridotite unit is structural contact.

3.2.2 Serpentinized Peridotite Unit

The discussion of the specificized peridotite unit in the study area includes a
description of the basic naming, distribution and thickness, lithological characteristics
including megaskopis and petrographic characteristics, age, depositional environment
and stratigraphic relationship with other rock units.

3.2.2.1. Basic Naming

The basis for naming units is based on unofficial lithostratigraphy based on

lithological features, lithology dominance, lateral distribution and can be mapped on a
map scale of 1: 25,000. The lithology that constitutes this unit is the particle
peridotite.

The naming of lithology in this unit is based on naming in a microscopic and

microscopic manner. Megaskpois observations are determined directly on the
physical characteristics and mineral composition that can be observed directly with
the ordinary eye, then the naming uses igneous rock classification according to
Fenton (1940). The microscopic naming is done through observation under a
polarizing microscope to determine the physical and optical characteristics and the
description of the specific mineral composition. The microscopic naming is based on
the classification of ultramafic rocks according to Streckeisen (1973) in Le Maitre
 (2002). Based on the foregoing, this unit is given the name of the particularized
peridotite unit.

3.2.2.2. Spread and thickness

The distribution of this unit occupies about 11% or around 6.13 km2 of the total area
of the study area. This unit generally occupies the north-eastern part and the eastern
part of the study area including Bulu Malindoe and the northern part of Tabarano
Village. The calculation of the thickness of this unit is based on the thickness
calculation on the geological cross section A - B, the thickness of the most specified
peridotite unit is 400 m.

3.2.2.3. Lithology Characteristics

The appearance of the mostpentinized peridotite megascopis has a fresh gray-black

color, weathered brown color, texture in the form of holocrystalline crystallinity,
feneritic granularity, subhedral-anhedral mineral forms, mineral composition
composed of olivine, pyroxine and serpentinite. Based on these physical
characteristics, the name of the rock is peridotite (Fenton, 1940). Fresh outcrops are
found on the edge of the Malili - Soroako shaft to the east of Wasuponda.

(1973) these rocks are classified in hazburgite.

3.2.2.4. Environmental Formation and Age

Determination of the formation environment and age of the particularized peridotite

unit in the study area is based on the principle of comparability to the regional
stratigraphy of the study area as well as the results of previous researchers based on
the dominance and similarity of lithological physical characteristics found in the field
as well as petrographic observations of official units, as well as comparisons of
location of the aligned formation type.

units in the study area can be compared with the ultramafic rock members of the East
Sulawesi Ophiolite Lane (MTosu) which have black, holocrystalline, solid and solid
characteristics, consisting of olivine and pyroxene (Simandjuntak, et al. 1991).

Based on the comparability with the members of the East Sulawesi Ophthalmic Rock
(MTosu) ultramafic rock peridotite, the particulate peridotite units in the study area
were formed in oceanic crust in the Early Cretaceous Period.

The stratigraphic relationship between the peridotite unit is the most precise and the
unit is the structural contact. Whereas the stratigraphic relationship of the
terpotentised unit with the chert unit is the structural contact.
