Abstract

This paper reviews the Kati Formation and provides comprehensive descriptions and an amended stratigraphic name for the Kati Formation. We have reviewed substantial literature on the Paleozoic stratigraphy in the western zone of Peninsular Malaysia and revised the nomenclature of the Kati Formation, changing “Kati Beds” to “Kati Formation” as more information has been available.
