Kalau tertarik melihat database-nya yg sudah terdokumentasi, bisa dilihat pd 
alamat ini: http://impacts.rajmon.cz oleh David Rajmon. Di situ belum ada data 
tentang jatuhnya meteorit di Indonesia.

RDP
HC Potential of Meteorite Impact Structures, Focus on Sundaland

H. D. Tjia
Jakarta, January 21,  2004


Craters abound on the surfaces of the Moon, solid planets and their satellites. 
Prior to the manned Apollo missions, views that the craters of the Moon were 
products of volcanism or of meteorite impacts were shared about equally. The 
collected Moon rocks show definitive features of high pressure but relatively 
low-temperature metamorphism that overwhelmingly favour impact origin. On 
Earth, the suspected impact depression in the Southwestern United States known 
as Meteor crater, was found associated with high-pressure quartz, or coesite. 
Currently some 300 terrestrial structures are considered products of impacts by 
extraterrestrial objects. Almost two hundred of these have been proven as such 
by combinations of the following: (1) arcuate to circular surface morphology, 
(2) circular gravity anomaly patterns, (3) shatter cones, (4) poly-megabreccias 
containing cleaved quartz, (5) quartz and feldspars with mosaicism (patchy 
extinction), (6) high-pressure quartz polymorphs of coesite and stishovite, (7) 
anomalously high Iridium, (8) diaplectic glass, and (9) microdiamonds. The 
comparatively low density of terrestrial impact craters on the Earth's surface 
is attributable to reworking by exogenous processes of weathering, erosion, 
organic activity, burial by younger deposits, and the 70 per cent surface cover 
by water. Impact craters should be as common on Earth as on the solid 
extraterrestrial bodies. Calculations suggest a mean probability of over 15,000 
significant impact craters having hit land since the Archaean. On land the 
average depth to diameter ratio of an impact crater is 1 : 0.2 , while rim 
height is about 4 per cent of the total diameter. Also on land, the diameter of 
simple, bowl-shaped impact craters probably do not exceed 4 km in igneous rocks 
and about 2 km in sedimentary rock. Beyond these limits, complex crater 
morphologies develop as result of flattening through gravity.

The petroleum significance of meteorite impact structures is -so far- very 
minor, but may be more important for several reasons. Renewed attention to 
impact structure plays is relatively recent and was fueled by the 1991 
single-strike discovery (25 MMBO, 15 BCFG recoverable reserves) in the vicinity 
of Ames, Oklahoma, U.S.A. About twenty years earlier other significant 
discoveries were made at Red Wing Creek, North Dakota (20 MMBO, 25 BCFG), and 
at the world-famous Chicxulub region, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico (total 
recoverable reserves of 30 BBO, 15 TCFG). However, the structures of these 
earlier finds were not identified as astroblemes and at the time of their 
discoveries the respective reservoirs were considered ordinary fractured 
carbonates and fractured granite-and-carbonates. The petroleum occurrences in 
the vicinity of Ames, a small town in Oklahoma, U.S.A., were the main topic of 
a special meeting in the early 1990s. The reservoir rocks of the Ames structure 
are lithified "basement" granodiorite and Cambro-Ordovician Arbuckle dolomite 
breccia on the crater rim; 2D seismic indicates an erratic, pocket-like 
distribution of its porosity and permeability. Trapping is by subsurface 
closures with one known structural closure. A dolomite caprock and overlying 
Middle Ordovician Simpson Shale provide the cap and seal. The source consists 
of the Arbuckle sediments or rocks that were exposed to the "cracking" 
environment of the meteor impact, and the shales that were deposited in the 
crater. Flow is c. 250 to 500 BOPD; with some of the wells producing in excess 
of 250,000 bbl oil, while one particular well has yielded 3 BCFG. Recovery has 
been in the 10% to 60% range.

Continental Southeast Asia includes the tectonic platforms of Indosinia and 
Sundaland . By virtue of its longer exposure, its thinly covered pre-Tertiary 
"basement" areas can be expected to host more impact structures than regions 
containing thick Cenozoic sediments. Good reservoir is provided by brecciated 
and fractured basement rocks, while traps may comprise rim anticlines, 
irregularly distributed breccia pockets within craters, and central rebound 
peaks (in the larger impact structures). Internal seals may be provided by 
impact-melt cloaks and a top seal by the blanketing sediments. For the 
Southeast Asian impact structures, the hydrocarbon charge is likely to 
originate in the Tertiary basins. Several impact structures have been recently 
discovered in pre-Tertiary Peninsular Malaysia. In the Langkawi islands three 
of four arcuate ridges are associated with cleaved quartz that crops out as a 
sill and dyke complex. Other shock-metamorphic features include ribbon quartz 
and mosaicism.

The two major craters, named Mahsuri Rings, partially overlap and each is about 
2.4 km across. In 280o - 100o direction their centres are 600 metres apart. 
Bouguer gravity cross sections prove their crater form, one being 45 m deep, 
the other attaining 107 m depth into the target rocks of Carbo-Permian Singa 
Formation. Both depressions are filled, the top surface consisting of 
Quaternary alluvium. The partially encircling hills of Singa Formation crest at 
less than 150 m elevation and are open to the west. Towards SW are two other 
circular/arcuate topographic features: Temoyong Ring and horseshoe-shaped Tepor 
Island. The diameters decrease in the same direction: approximately 800 m and 
500 m, respectively. These four ring-like structures have been interpreted as 
products of serial impacts by a flight of extraterrestrial projectiles arriving 
from the Southwest. The impact age is not yet determined and field relations 
only indicate a post-granite (Triassic-Jurassic) event. In the case that the 
morphologically young Mahsuri Rings are not exhumed features, impact could have 
occurred within the last 10 million years.

Another proven impact structure is the Paloh Ring that straddles the state 
boundary between Terengganu and Pahang. The proof consists of planar 
deformation features (PDFs) and mosaicism in vein quartz intruded into 
undivided Carboniferous metasedimentary strata that compose the lower eastern 
slope of the 623m high Paloh peak. PDFs are also seen in thin sections of 
quartz phenoclasts of polymict-breccia boulders in Sungai Mengkuang that drains 
the east side of the hill. Bukit Paloh is the peak on the high, circular 
topography surrounding a deep depression, now referred to as Paloh Ring-1. This 
ring-like topography is 3.5 km across and has local relief of the order of 150 
to 200 metres. A small -about 0.5 km across-circular depression is located on 
the Paloh Ring-1. The south half of the larger ring consists of felsic igneous 
rock whose K/Ar age is 243 Ma, while the north half is composed of 
Carboniferous metasedimentary rocks. The youthful morphology of Paloh Ring-1 
points to a geologically young impact event, estimated to be not later than 
Late Miocene. More than a decade earlier, PDFs in quartz were discovered in 
partly weathered granite underlying the Quaternary basalt at Gebeng, some 40 km 
SE of Bukit Paloh. The granite at Bukit Ubi quarry, located in the same area 
but nearer to Kuantan town, also contains quartz with PDFs. These two findings 
are the initial proofs for impact products in the whole of Malaysia. It is 
unresolved if the Gebeng-Bukit Ubi impact products and those at Bukit Paloh 
originated from the same event.

The third proven impact products are at Bukit Bunuh near the world-famous 
palaeolithic site of Kota Tampan along the Perak River. Recently Mokhtar 
Saidin, geo-archaeologist of Universiti Sains Malaysia, verbally reported a 
1.74 Ma fission-track age for a volcanic agglomerate composed of unsorted small 
to huge fragments of quartz, quartzite, schist, felsic igneous rocks, and other 
as yet unspecified rock types. The megabreccia is set in light-coloured 
groundmass, superficially resembling volcanic tuff. Thin-section examination of 
the quartz turned up parallel planar fractures, mosaicismal extinction and also 
several cleavage sets. Detailed studies are in progress, but there is little 
doubt that this "agglomerate" is in fact suevite , an impact breccia. In spite 
of alteration by oxidation, hydrolisis and local secondary mineralisation of 
fractures and other voids, porosity estimates by visual inspection are of the 
order of 10 per cent.

Satellite and synthetic-aperture radar images complemented by topographic maps 
and aerial photographs indicate over 60 prominent arcuate and circular features 
throughout Malaysia. Craters, geological and geophysical field studies, 
presence of suevite, and PDFs in quartz prove the impact origin for the Mahsuri 
Rings in Langkawi, the Paloh Ring-1 on the Terengganu-Pahang border, and the 
megabreccia at Bukit Bunuh (Kota Tampan) in central Perak. Thirty seven other 
arcuate/circular features could be impact products and will need confirmatory 
studies; eight other structures appear to represent domal intrusions or exhumed 
volcanic complexes, while the remaining sixteen are meander scrolls and 
structural basins. Contributing factors of extraterrestrial impacts to 
petroleum systems comprise depressions favouring source-rock development, 
enhancement of reservoir quality in most of the target rocks, providing a 
trapping environment for fluids, and perhaps accelerate maturation. Given that 
prominent impact structures are not rare in Malaysia and that during the 
Cretaceous-Palaeogene vast regions of continental Southeast Asia were 
subaerially exposed, impact-structures probably occur in significant numbers. 
The initial steps of testing impact-structure plays include expansion and 
verification of the regional database of impact structures and re-examination 
of seemingly anomalous subsurface structures that are already known.

Saya telusuri di Internet, ternyata banyak sekali lapangan minyak di Amerika 
yang sudah ada dan diterangkan secara conventional, sekarang mulai diterangkan 
sebagai akibat meteoric impact. Yang terjadi adalah "fracturing" atau 
"brecciation" dari formasi yang ada di bawah impact crater ini yang 
menjadikkanya sebagai  reservoir. Saya kira soal heat yang ditimbulkan untuk 
mematangkan source rock tidak ada yang menyinggung. Yang penting adalah juga 
keberadaan seal di atasnya, yaitu formasi serpih post-impact.
Konsep ini masih kontroversial dan masih ada pro- dan kontranya, tetapi 
mainstream geologist saya kira belum menerimanya, tetapi sudah banyak tokoh2 
petroleum geologist yang meyakininya, seperti Paul Weimer yang sekarang 
President AAPG, sangat meyakinkan bahwa Red Wing Creek field (dalam formasi 
Paleozoic)  itu adalah hasil dari impact crater.
Juga ternyata lapangan minyak terbesar ke-2 di Mexico, Cantrell field juga 
dihubungkan  dengan Chicxulub impact crater (berada di bawah),  yang terjadi 
antara Kapur dan Tersier (KT boundary, 65,5 juta tahun yang lalu). Juga 
lapangan offshore Mumbai dihubungkan dengan meteor impact ini. Selain itu masih 
banyak contoh2 lain di dunia.
Selain itu banyak pula yang meyakini bahwa peranan meteor impact pada mineral 
deposit itu jauh lebih besar dari pada diperkirakan semua, bahkan endapan nikel 
di Sudbury Canada  yang berupa lopoltih itu ditafsirkan sebagai meteorit 
raksasa. Ada juga yang berspekulasi bahwa fracturing ini sampai ke mantle, dan 
menghidupkan lagi anorganic origin of oil.
Dalam hal Majalengka crater complex berdasarkan peta geologi yang ada daerah 
ini  mencakup Bogor Trough dan juga sebagian  Northwest Java shelf basin. Di 
Bogor trough ini sudah terkenal banyak oil seeps (terutama di Jawa Tengah, 
walaupun batuan induknya belum jelas, tetapi pasti ada. Oil seep di Palimanan 
sudah terlalu jauh. Meteor Majalengka ini (kalau betul ada) kelihatannya 
menimpa singkapan formasi deep marine turbidits Cinambo berumur Oligo-miocene 
yang mungkin merupakan batuan induk.
Jika benar geo-circles di Majalengka itu meteor impact yang jadi masalah adalah 
seal. Apakah formasi Citalang  dan sebagian Fm Kaliwangu yang berumur Pliocene 
itu dapat merupakan seal yang baik.
Sekali lagi bahwa ada beberapa seismic lines tahun 89 yang memotong complex 
crater Majalengka ini, entah disurvei oleh Pertamina entah oleh pemegang 
Citarum block. Sangat menarik untuk dipelajari apa yang ada di bawahnya ini, 
saya taruhan itu merupakan "blur" saja yang ditafsirkan sebagai thrusting.

Pertanyaan penting lagi apakah pemegang block Citarum atau Pertamina berani 
melanjutkan explorasi berdasarkan konsep meteor impact sebagai play yang masih 
bersifat unconventional ini. Ini akan sangat menarik sekali bahkan mungkin akan 
menemukan lapangan minyak raksasa, karena sebenarnya radius aggregate dari 
lingkaran-lingkaran ini adalah lebih dari 5 km. Selain itu jika ada yang 
berani, apakah BPMigas akan menyetujuinya.?

Kalau saja ada bilioner yang cukup gila untuk melakukan pemboran explorasi di 
sini dan berhasil menemukan cadangan, tentu orang akan berlomba-lomba mencari 
geo-circles di Google Earth.
Apakah di antara anggota IAGI net ini mungkin bisa memberikan penjelasan 
geologi lain bagi Geocircles Majalengka ini, dengan tektonik lengser barangkali?
Wassalam

Betul pak Koesoema , memang sulit untuk menerangkan mekanisme
nya.
Saya masih  bertanya apa pengaruh suatu tumbukan terhadap komposisi suatu masa 
di bumi ? bagaimana  dan  apakah terjadi  perubahan kimia / fisika dari  masa 
yang ditumbuk ?

Mungkin ada rekan yang tahu atau  mengetahu reference - nya
