The Semantan formation is one of the geological formations that has been identified in the Peninsula of Malaysia. The formation stretches from Kelantan to the north of Johor, passing through the state of Pahang. It has been previously assumed that the Semantan Formation was of a deep marine environment and consists of sedimentary rocks like sandstones. The geomechanical properties of sandstones varies through its depositional environment, and not much information of this formation in terms of their geotechnical properties was published.
