Nomenclature : Parris (1996)
Type Locality : Awitagoh Mountain/Gunung Mandala in Jayawijaya Sheets, Irian Jaya
Description : The formation consists of interbedded sediments include silstone, limestone and
shale and some are pillowed basalt and dolerite. In the Awitagoh - fine grained
faults, volcanic breccia, highly altered dark(?) limestone, the sequence is strongly
silicified and calcified.
Stratigraphic Relationship : The Awitagoh Formation is similar lithology and it is lateraly equivalent to the
Nerewip Formation, presumably overlain by the Kariem Formation.
Thickness : 600 m
Distribution : Central Range, Irian Jaya
Depositional Setting : Marine environment with a rift zone which produce mafic flows and intrusions of
basalt and dolerite.
Remark : The formation has been metamorphosed in low to middle grade of
greenschist facies. This formation was firstly named by Bar and Rijsterborg
(1959) after the Awitagoh Mountain (now named Gunung Mandala),
Simandjuntak (1990) named this unit as Mandala Diabase. This unit has not been
included in the geological map of Irian Jaya
