Geology of north-west Borneo (Sarawak, Brunei and Sabah) / Геология северо-западного Борнео (Саравак, Бруней и Сабах)

The earlier, mostly non-geological, exploration reports of Borneo have been listed by Worth (1940). The first reliable geological observations on Sabah were by Hatton (1885), a young mineral explorer employed by the Chartered Company of North Borneo. He met a tragic death while hunting along the Segama River. The most significant publication was that of Posewitz (1892), who summarized the earlier writings of geologists who had journeyed through Borneo. Although, he never set foot in Sarawak or Sabah, but had journeyed through Kalimantan. He collected the literature and compiled a geological map of the known parts of Bomeo. The work was unsystematic and is now obsolete. Rutter (1922) described the journeys of some mineral prospectors in his account of Sabah, but he did not mention the real geological explorers. <...>
