ABSTRACT

        A computer animation on the tectonic evolution for the north-western part of Borneo, from 50 million years to Present, will be shown during the conference.

        The presentation will focus on the newly proposed Strike-Slip Tectonic model (Ismail, 1998) that suggests the north-west Borneo has undergone a series of strike-slip movements along nine major lineaments namely:

1. Lupar Line                         2. Sarikei Line
3. Rajang Line                          4. Igan-Oya Line
5. Mukah Line                          6. West Balingian Line
7. Tinjar Line                          8. West Baram Line
9. Kemana Line
