Uplift rate of gorontalo limestone (Indonesia) based on biostratigraphy analysis

The uplift rate of Gorontalo limestone is highly dependent on the completeness of age and depth data. All data needed can be obtained based on complete biostratigraphy analysis. The research material used was a 24 meter thick limestone out crop. The aim of the research was to determine the absolute age of limestone, paleobathimetry and uplift rate of limestone in the research area. The three methods used consisting of the measured section(MS), biostratigraphy analysis and tectonic analysis. Bio datum in the limestone is only one, namely LO Globoquadrina dehiscens. Determination of paleobathimetry using two methods. The uplift rate of limestone is 0.0699-0.0724 mm/year. © 2019, National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan. All rights reserved.
