| Sumba island
tours has a great and unique position respect to the
Sunda Banda archipelagoes, it is one of the biggest
island on the East Nusa Tenggara region beside
Flores and Timor. It represents an isolated sliver
of probable continental crust to the south of
active volcanic islands (Sumbawa, Flores ) within
the forearc basin (Fig.1). It is situated to the
north of passage from the Java Trench (subduction
front) to the Timor Through (collision front).
It does not show still the effects of strong compression
in contrast to islands of the outer arc system
(Savu, Roti, Timor), while the magmatic units
make up a substantial part of the Late Cretaceous
to Paleogene stratigraphy.
