ABSTRAK

Fosil radiolaria yang terawet dengan agak baik telah ditemui di dalam lapisan rijang yang tersingkap di km 38, lebuhraya Gua Musang-Cameron Highland, berdekatan dengan Pos Blau, baratdaya Kelantan, Semenanjung Malaysia. Sebanyak 20 spesies fosil radiolaria telah dikenal pasti. Spesies ini mewakili zon himpunanPseudoalbaillella globosa yang menunjukkan usia (Roadian) Awal Perm Tengah. Zon himpunan radiolaria ini merupakan rekod biostratigrafi yang baru untuk jujukan batuan bersilika di Pos Blau dan di dalam Zon Sutura Bentong-Raub.

Kata kunci: Kelantan; Pos Blau; Radiolaria; (Roadian) Awal Perm Tengah; Semenanjung Malaysia

ABSTRACT

A quite well preserved radiolarian fossils were discovered from bedded chert outcropped at km 38, of the Gua Musang-Cameron Highland highway, near Pos Blau, southwest Kelantan, Peninsular Malaysia. A total of 20 species of radiolarian fossils were identified. These species represent the Pseudoalbaillella globosa Assemblage Zone of (Roadian) Early Middle Permian age. This radiolarian assemblage zone is a new biostratigraphy record for the siliceous rocks succession at Pos Blau and also in the Bentong-Raub Suture Zone.

Keywords: Kelantan; Peninsular Malaysia; Pos Blau; Radiolarian; (Roadian) Early Middle Permian
