The Tertiary structural pattern of the Jawa Sea is made of severaI lows and highs, N-S to NE-SW trending. Sedimentation in the area started from the East with an Eocene transgression, This transgression progressively covered the area as a centripetal movement with the cratonic Sundaland as its focus. The influence of the pre-Tertiary pattern on sedimentation mostly marked the lower most deposits namely those which infilled the paleodepressions.
