Abstract The Bantimala Complex of South Sulawesi, Indonesia is an assemblage of northeast-dipping tectonically stacked slices. The slices consist mainly of high pressure metamorphic rocks, radiolarian chert, breccia, sandstone and shale, and melange. In order to understand the tectonic evolution of the Bantimala Complex, we have investigated the lithology, age, stratigraphy, structure and relationships of the components. The K-Ar ages of high P-low T metamorphic rocks suggest that an oceanic plate subducted beneath the Sundaland continent during the Late Jurassic or earliest Cretaceous. The subduction ceased during the Albian, and the high pressure schists were exhumed and eroded at the surface before and during the deposition of middle Cretaceous radiolarian chert. The exhumation of the schists was related to the collision of microcontinents derived from Gondwanaland. The Jurassic shallow marine sedimentary rocks in the Bantimala Complex are possibly remnant fragments of the collided microcontinent. Tectonic stacking of the Bantimala Complex was caused by Neogene subduction and collision of another continental fragment further to the east.
