- Summary:
- The oldest dated rocks in eastern Timor are of Lower Permian age, the metamorphic rocks of uncertain age being interpreted as probably pre-Permian. With the exception of two important breaks and a number of minor but widespread unconformities (affecting all eastern Timor) from Permian times onwards the stratigraphical record is fairly continuous to the Holocene. Some formations are entirely allochthonous in eastern Timor. The present work attempts a complete revision of the stratigraphical column. This entails the definition of many new formations, the revision of the limits of others, and their re-positioning in the time-sequence.
