Abstract

The presence of extensive basalt formations in East Lampung has its own attractions in the field of geology, particularly the presence of Goa Pandan as a lava cave and tourist attraction in East Lampung. The presence of basalt lava in the southern part of the South Sumatra Basin has drawn attention to the presence of this lava, but detailed research on the characteristics of the lava and its formation process is still very rare. This study aims to determine the eruption period of the basalt lava and magma evolution process based on the correlation between lava stratigraphy and petrography analysis. Field observations show a lava sequence that forms Goa Pandan. Each lava sequence is characterized by autobreccia and vesicular structures on the surface. In addition, the presence of columnar joints, sheeting joints, massive lava, and other additional structures indicate the characteristics of low-viscosity basalt lava. The presence of mineral structures and abundance under the microscope clearly shows the magma formation process when basalt lava flowed on the surface. Resorption-overgrowth of plagioclase and pyroxene minerals indicates an open system when basalt lava flowed on the surface. In addition, the presence of zoning and patching in plagioclase minerals indicates that magma variability is influenced by temperature. The documentation of this lava stratigraphy can serve as a basis for further understanding of magma characteristics and formation processes. There is still much geological work that can be done in the research area to get a detailed picture of the evolution process of magma and the presence of basalt lava in this area.

Abstract

The origin of metamorphic rock is greatly influenced by the temperature and pressure changes in every tectonic setting, especially in active subduction margins. One of the wide outcrops of metamorphic rock occurs in the Pringsewu District, Lampung, and it is a part of the Palaeozoic Gunung Kasih Complex. The presence of metamorphic rocks in Pringsewu has raised several questions and debates for some time due to the lack of research and field evidence found in this area, especially, since the origin of metamorphic rock in Lampung has been rarely studied. This research aims to determine the metamorphic rock facies and the tectonic setting underlying the formation of metamorphic rocks in the study area. Petrographic analysis on 19 thin-section samples shows that metamorphic rock in the research area can be divided into two regions i.e., western and eastern regions. The Eastern part is characterized by muscovite-epidote schist and greenschist which consist of quartz, muscovite, actinolite, epidote, and garnet as index minerals. Whereas the western part is characterized by quartzite and biotite-epidote schist that consist of quartz, biotite, and muscovite. Based on the mineral index, metamorphic rock’s protoliths are pelitic rock, mafic rock, and quartz-feldspathic sandstone. The metamorphic rock zonation shows the created temperature is from 280-550oC. The foliation structure such as schistose and porphyroblastic texture in the whole rocks sample indicated that metamorphic rocks are created in medium-grade metamorphism and are characterized by the greenschist facies to epidote-amphibolite facies. The abundance of quartz, k-feldspar, and labradorite minerals show that metamorphic rocks came from the microcontinent which was caused by a collision between the intra-oceanic Woyla plate and West Sumatra microcontinent in the Cretaceous. Indications of tectonic activity that create the lithology in Lampung Province need more geological study, especially to determine the absolute age of the metamorphic rock.
