ABSTRACT
A single sample from the logged
section at eastern side of Gua Panjang limestone hill, southwest of Kampung
Kubang Rasa Village, Merapoh, has yielded 5 very important conodont species.
They are Hindeodus parvus erectus, Hindeodus parvus parvus, Hindeodus
latidentatus latidentatus, Hindeodus latidentatus praeparvus, Hindeodus
postparvus, Hindeodus eurypge and Isarcicella staeschi. These Early
Triassic conodonts were obtained in a bioclastic dolostone sample, located 2.5
m above bioclastic grainstone which yielded Late Permian foraminifera. The
conodonts found were given Conodont Alteration Index (CAI)
scale of 5, consistent with the heating of Main Range granitoid during
Indosinian Orogeny. Limestone harbouring basal Triassic conodonts in Gua
Panjang is interpreted to be deposited in an open shallow marine shelf
environment.

ABSTRAK
Satu sampel daripada singkapan yang
dilog pada jujukan timur bukit batu kapur Gua Panjang, arah barat daya Kampung
Kubang Rasa, Merapoh, telah menemukan 5 spesies konodon yang sangat penting.
Konodon ini adalah Hindeodus parvus erectus, Hindeodus parvus parvus, Hindeodus
latidentatus latidentatus, Hindeodus latidentatus praeparvus, Hindeodus
postparvus, Hindeodus eurypge dan Isarcicella staeschi. Konodon
berusia dasar Trias ini ditemui pada sampel batu dolo berbioklas, terletak 2.5
m di atas jujukan batu butir berbioklas yang mengandungi foraminifera berusia
Perm Akhir. Konodon yang ditemui diberikan skala 5 pada Indeks Alterasi
Konodon, konsisten dengan pemanasan granitoid Banjaran Utama ketika Orogeni
Indosinian. Batu kapur yang mengandungi konodon berusia dasar Trias di Gua
Panjang ini ditafsirkan sebagai endapan pada sekitaran pelantar lautan cetek
terbuka.
