Abstract

The Temburong Formation comprises fine grain flysch, deposited in a distal part of a submarine fan system. Twenty five taxa of ichnofossils were identified. The ichnofossils are grouped into the Nereites ichnofacies. The ichnofacies was further divided into two subichnofacies namely Paleodictyon and Ophiomorpha rudis subichnofacies. The Paleodictyon subichnofacies is characterized by a high diversity of ichnofossils, discovered in the medium to thinly bedded turbidite at a distal lobe of a submarine fan. The Ophiomorpha rudis subichnofacies contains low diversity and is commonly found in thick-bedded sandstone channels and proximal lobes of a submarine fan system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
