| Summary: | Mio-Pliocene Halang Formation is mostly distributed along Southern Serayu Mountains, Central Java.
This formation is commonly deposited on deep marine environment and interpreted as a product of
submarine fan deposits. This paper is concerned to interpret facies development and paleogeography
model of Halang Formation during Middle Miocene in Cibangkong Area, Banyumas Sub Basin. This
study is also passed several methods based on outcrop observations and laboratory analysis. The primer
data such as measuring section, biostratigraphic and granulometry analysis, supported to build facies
development. Integrated facies model, paleocurrent measurement, and secondary data (gravity,
provenance, structure trend, and basement configuration) build a paleogeography model. In study area,
Halang Formation is particularly characterized by interbeded carbonaceous sandstones facies and
carbonaceous claystone facies which is capped by massive sandstone facies with erosional contact. The
integrated analysis could lead interpretation in the study area that Halang Formation is a part of the
fan lobes facies. Paleogeography model shows that sediment supply comes from Southwest to the
Northeast. Karangbolong high is located in the West to Southwest, is thought to be the center erosion
and supplies the Halang Formation. Discovery of volcanic and limestone fragment in one of sandstone
layer in Halang Formation supported the paleogeography model. The presence of volcanic and
carbonate material simultaneously indicates that there is a volcanic activity in proto-Kumbang as well
as the possibility of carbonate that have grown in Karangbolong High in West to Southwest of the
research areas.
