The Limestone Hills of the Kinta Valley Tinfield, Federated Malay States: their Geology and Physiographic Origin

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

The limestone hills of the Kinta Valley, standing up with white cliff faces from an almost level plain, form a prominent and picturesque feature of this prolific tinfield, and attract attention and present a varying scene as viewed from different points in the valley of the Kinta River. Their mode of origin has been the subject of marked divergence of opinion amongst geologists acquainted with them, as has also their age in relation to the series of metamorphic sediments found in the same valley.
