37th national geological conference
In collaboration with the Geological Society of Malaysia and the Faculty of Science, Universiti Malaya, the Malaysian Cave and Karst Conservancy (MCKC) has organized a field excursion as part of the 37th National Geological Conference. Bukit Takun, one of only three karst hills in Selangor, holds particular geological interest. Since it is surrounded by granite, it is intriguingly hypothesized to be a block of the Kuala Lumpur Limestone that was uplifted during the granite intrusion, making it a significant subject of study for understanding the geological processes that have shaped the landscape.
