 Schematic composite sections
showing the Cenozoic evolution
of Western Sulawesi

(a) regional extension, formation of Makassar Straits; graben

and half-graben fill with fluvio-deltaic to shallow marine
siliclastics; fault induced topography is subsequently buried and
region becomes a stable shallow marine shelf; calc-alkaline
volcanism related to westerly directed subduction, (b) generally
slight rise in sea level; platform limestone persists in South Arm;
(c) subduction/volcanism slows down/ceases; (c) regional
extension resulting in block-faulting, local tilting and folding of
Paleogene strata; accompanied by potassic magmatism, which
continues into Pliocene; (d) Banggai-Sula microcontinent collides
with eastern Sulawesi causing thick-skinned thrusting and
folding, uplift and deposition of syn-to late orogenic sediments;
unroofing of Miocene granitoids;? formation of metamorphic
core complexes

 Schematic composite sections
showing the Cenozoic evolution
of Northern Sulawesi

a) Opening Celebes Sea; north-directed subduction initiated;

submarine volcanic arc develops on back-arc(?) oceanic crust;
(b) arc continues to develop; final stage of volcanism. is high-K;
continental fragment subducted beneath arc; (c) major tectonic
event associated with docking of continental fragment involving
thrusting and folding of Paleogene strata, and uplift of (part
of)continental fragment; followed by renewed subduction and
calc-alkaline volcanism; sediments deposited in shallow marine
basins; (d) Sula-Banggai fragment collides with eastern
Sulawesi causing deformation of Neogene strata; flipping of
subduction; followed by intra-arc rifting, deposition of syn-to
late orogenic sediments, and sub-aerial volcanism
