ABSTRAK
Jujukan batuan sedimen Kapur
Awal Kumpulan Gagau di kawasan sekitar hulu Sungai Chichir dibentuk
oleh batu pasir berpebel masif, batu lumpur masif dan lapisan tebal
batu pasir dengan pelbagai struktur sedimen serta fosil. Jujukan
ini boleh dibahagikan kepada tujuh fasies dengan mekanisme pengenapan
berbeza. Berdasarkan asosiasi antara pelbagai fasies sedimen dapat
ditafsirkan bahawa jujukan ini telah terenap dalam pelbagai sekitaran
dataran aluvium termasuk alur sungai utama, sungai berliku, sungai
berburai dan dataran banjir. Fosil yang ditemui memberikan usia
Kapur Awal kepada jujukan ini. Bukti kehadiran tanah atas di kawasan
ini mencerahkan harapan untuk penemuan pelbagai fosil hidupan daratan,
khususnya fauna vertebrat serta dinosaur yang lebih baik dan lengkap.

ABSTRACT
The early cretaceous sedimentary
sequence of Gagau Group exposed along the upstream of Sungai Chichir
comprises of massive pebbly sandstone, massive mudstone and thickly
bedded sandstone with various sedimentary structures and fossils.
This sequence can be divided into seven sedimentary facies with
different mechanism of sedimentation. Based on association between
various sedimentary facies it can be interpreted that this sequence
was deposited in various aluvial plain environment including main
river channel, meandering rivers, braided river and flood plain.
Fossils discovered give an early cretaceous age to the sequence.
Evidence of top-soil give a good prospect of finding better and
more complete terrestrial fossils, especially vertebrate fauna and
dinosaurs.
Keywords: Depositional environment; early cretaceous; Gagau Group;
