Stratigraphic correlation between sedimentary basins of the ESCAP region Vol. V : ESCAP atlas of stratigraphy I: Burma, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines

Abstract

<p>This is the first Mineral Resources Development Series (MRDS) volume to be devoted to notes accompanying ESCAP Atlas of Stratigraphy sheets. The sheets and notes of this volume are the first to be completed to specifications resulting from the second Working Group meeting, in December 1975, of the ESCAP-IGCPICS sedimentary basins correlation project, which is IGCP Project No. 32. The report of that meeting was published as MRDS No. 42. The standard legend finalized shortly after the meeting is included in this volume as appendix I; it is also necessary to help explain the Atlas sheets of Malaysia.</p> <p>MRDS 42 and earlier volumes cover the history of development of the project, including actions by ECAFE and ICS (International Commission on Stratigraphy of the International Union of Geological Sciences) which led to setting up the International Geological Correlation Programme (IGCP) Project No. 32, and to preparation of the Atlas.</p>
