ABSTRAK
Formasi Singa yang tersingkap
di Kepulauan Langkawi terdiri daripada jujukan batuan sedimen argilit
dan boleh dibahagikan kepada empat ahli iaitu Rebak, Kentut, Ular
dan Selang. Formasi Singa kaya dengan fosil terutamanya daripada
jenis brakiopod, bryozoa dan bivalvia yang boleh ditemui dalam Ahli
Rebak dan Ahli Selang. Fosil yang ditemui semasa kajian dijalankan
serta fosil yang pernah dilaporkan oleh penyelidik terdahulu telah
dibuat penelitian semula untuk menentukan usia Formasi Singa dengan
lebih tepat. Himpunan fosil Formasi Singa boleh dibahagikan kepada
tiga julat usia, iaitu Visean, Asselian Akhir - Sakmarian Awal dan
Sakmarian Akhir. Jujukan berusia Visean diwakili oleh Ahli Rebak,
manakala jujukan Asselian Akhir - Sakmarian Awal dan jujukan Sakmarian
Akhir diwakili oleh Ahli Selang. Dalam Ahli Ular dan Ahli Kentut
tidak ditemui sebarang fosil. Keputusan daripada kertas ini memerlukan
satu kajian semula dijalankan terhadap litostratigrafi Formasi Singa.
Kata kunci: Formasi Singa;

ABSTRACT
Singa Formation exposed in
Langkawi Archipelago consists of an argillaceous sequence that had
been divided into four members namely; Rebak, Kentut, Ular and Selang.
Fossils in the Singa Formation, include brachiopod, bryozoans and
bivalves have been found in Rebak and Selang Members. The fossils
that were found from this study and by previous researchers have
been reviewed in order to determine the age of the Singa Formation
more precisely. The fossils can be assigned to three age ranges:
Namely Visean, Late Asselian - Early Sakmarian dan Late Sakmarian.
The Visean fossils are concentrated in Rebak Member, while the Late
Asselian - Early Sakmarian and Late Sakmarian fossils occurred in
Selang Member. Both Ular and Kentut Members do not contain any fossil.
The finding of this paper require a review of lithostratigraphy
of the Singa Formation.
Keywords: Geology of Langkawi; Palaeozoic fossil; Singa Formation.
