Palawan Topography
Intruding these stones in focal Palawan (Cleopatra's Needle region) and northern Palawan (Mount Capoas or Kapoas zone) are youthful rock bodies (genuine rock to granodiorite) of Miocene age (13-15 million years of age in view of zircon and monazite U-Pb dating).In the Taytay zone of northern Palawan, a youthful basaltic ash cone is another appearance of youthful magmatic movement. The granitic magmatism and basaltic magmatism are both articulations of what has been recognized as a far reaching post-South China Sea spreading magmatism that has influenced numerous zones around the South China Sea.
