abstract: The first deposits overlying an unconformity may give important insights on the tectonic vertical motions and erosion processes that erased previous records. The Early Cenozoic Deposits in Peninsular Malaysia are reported to be isolated and lie unconformably on Paleozoic basement rocks. Denudation pulses from the Late Cretaceous to Eocene left the Cenozoic deposits in scarce. Stratigraphic and sedimentology studies were restricted to the availability of the resources. This study aims at providing information on the development of the early deposits from a structural perspective with the emphasis on source to sink dynamics. We interpreted the structural settings of Lawin using Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data and satellite images. Structural interpretations were cross-checked with published studies. Field observations were conducted and have been assessed through chemical and petrographic analyses. Evidence of compression and shearing are found to support interpretation. We learned that Lawin had experienced a compression and stages of extensions in its history and developed during extension. Lawin is associated to a major fault that reactivated several times, and from XRD analysis, we have illite-mica which has a close-relationship to a frequent tectonic activities and kaolinite is due to weathering. Petrography analysis were performed from SEM images and thin sections to support minerals found. Evidence of mineral fragments, iron-rich sedimentation and clay fillings were common with few kaolinite pouches. Sedimentology studies were modelled as alluvial fans. Based on DEM analysis, two different lobes are observed and on outcrop, two different angles of tilted bedding between the two lobes were measured, thus we modelled them as incised alluvial fans where the recent fan we see on DEM has extended further from abandoned lobe. Due to its tilting towards the west, we modelled them following an extensional regime. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
