Abstract
The oldest rocks of East Sulawesi in the Kolonodale area are carbonate s. The uppermost deposits are from a coral-reef carbonate platform whi ch we dated as Rhaetian on the basis of benthic foraminifera and also on the presence of Uppermost Sevatian-Rhaetian conodonts in the underl ying sedimentary unit. Such Upper Triassic reefal rocks are known from some of the microcontinents around the North Banda Sea, suggesting th e break-up of an Upper Triassic continental block during a late openin g.
