Geology

[edit]

Is there any information on the geology of the Palung range? On Google Earth it does look like an old cone liked formed feature with its top cut of near the stump. Is it a granit block? Or some old vulcanic basalt plume? It does somewhat stand out among the low lying mangroove surroundings. If its some sort of sediment block like limestone or the such, are there any caves? --T.woelk 09:23, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • It is granite. Large weathered boulders are above-ground at elevations above 100 m. I'd also be interested in any geological history. The region is likely experiencing long-term uplift which is exposing these granite intrusions. --Answer.to.the.rock (talk) 16:11, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
