Conclusions
Semilir formation generally has a constituent lithology in
the form of tuffs, tuff lapilli, pumice stone, pumice breccia
and shale. After stratigraphic measurements were carried
out in the study area, the dominant lithology was tuffaceous
sandstones interbedded with claystone. In addition, at
several measurement points, it appears that there are
several areas of erosion and sedimentary structures such as
lamination, graded bedding and contorted lamination.
When viewed from its composition, the lithology contained
in the study area has inserts of clay clasts, heavy minerals,
and calcite veins. It is interpreted that this area has a
depositional environment with a mass flow mechanism and
deposited in shallow sea areas.
