| Tanjung Mali |
The first location for day 3 is Tanjung Mali which is a place near to the famous Under Water World.
Another location of outcrops were Pantai Pasir Tengkorak. Medium-grained sandstone and coarse-grained sandstone and shale are found here. Besides, there are a lot of mud cracks can be seen here as well due to tectonic effects.
Not only that, tafoni structure, which is a honeycomb-like structure is found here as well. The main function of this structure is to indicate the presence of salt.
A flame structure is also an obvious sedimentary structure. This structure forms when a denser rock is placed on top of a less dense rock, and the force pushes the denser one towards the less dense one. Hence, a flame-like structure is formed in between the denser and less dense rock.
