Abstract: Seblat Formation had been exposed in Sedayu village, Lampung. Stratigraphic measurements and detailed
descriptions at several outcrops were performed on Seblat Formation. Seblat formation based on sedimentological study can be
divided into two facies: classical turbidites and slump. Classical turbidites in the study area characterized by monotonous
sandstone intercalated with mudstone and slump facies consist of mudstone and fine-grained sandstone with total thickness
around 5 meters and the thickness of each layer from 3-13 centimeters. Based on two sedimentary facies, the mid fan (smooth-
channeled) and the inner fan is proposed for Seblat Formation.
Keywords: Seblat Formation, Sedayu village, Facies.
Introduction
This research aims to determine the facies of the Seblat
Formation. The research area is located in Lampung.
Lampung is located in the southern part of Sumatra island lies
within the active tectonic plate of the India-Australia Plate
and Eurasian Plate. There are two basins in Lampung, South
Sumatra Basin as back-arc basin and Bengkulu Basin as a
fore-arc basin. Seblat Formation is one of the formations in
the Bengkulu Basin. Seblat Formation of Oligocene to
Miocene age which is composed of interbedded claystone
and sandstone, tuffaceous sandstone, shale, siltstone, and
thin layer or nodules of limestone [1]

The research area's location is the administrative area of
Tanggamus district, Semaka sub-district, Sedayu village
(Fig.1). The outcrops at the west part of Tanggamus in Sedayu
village will be used as the study area (Fig.2).

Bengkulu basin is located in the south-west part of Sumatera
island. Two rock units occupy in Bengkulu area, namely
Bengkulu zone and Barisan zone [2]. Barisan zone consist of
Hulusimpang Formation, Bal Formation, Ranau Formation,
Lakitan Formation and some intrusive rocks. Bengkulu zone
consist of Seblat Formation, Lemau Formation, Simpangaur
