Seiring dengan banyaknya aktivitas manusia dan proses erosi yang terus berkembang di Karang Sambung. Membuat daerah Karang Sambung yang menjadi objek bahan ajar di bidang geologi perlu tinjauan kembali. Kulon Progo yang berada di sebalah Barat Jogjakarta bisa menjadi salah satu Geopark di Indonesia untuk belajar ilmu geologi.

Abstract Geology study needs an understanding in theoritical and practical. Indonesia has a famous national natural geology park located at Karang Sambung and Bayat, Central Java. Indonesia needs another option in learning geology study West Progo Mts.
The methods of this investigation were Analitical Comparison method, Empirism, and Descriptive method. Introduction Nowadays, Indonesia has only few national geological nature park (the famous one, located at Karang Sambung). The development of geology study in Indonesia were quite exceptional. Weathering and human activities causing outcrops around Karang Sambung camps might be damaged beyond recognition. One solution to this problem is to make another natural geology park.

Pillow lava outcrop contact with Red limstone and chert outcrop Volcanic Breccia of Waturanda Formation Phyllites of Sipako mts. ANALYSES AND RESULTS Investigation Methods Analitical comparison methods Comparing Lecturer Material for basic geological mapping skill. Empirical methods Learning Morphology, Geological Settings, and Regional Stratigraphy of West Progo area. Descriptive methods Go to some places at West Progo Area to take some picture for observing potential outcrops for excurtion. WHAT KINDS OF LECTURER MATERIALS CONTENTS THAT WILL BE NEEDED ? BARNES, J. 1991. Basic Geological Mapping had been apllied at Karangsambung Camps Program. 1 Field orientation or land navigation; 2 Outcrops observation; 3 Geomorphology and photo observation; 4 Secondary structure measurement; 5 Compass uses and footstep measurement; 6 Measured section and tectonic section. LOCATION This research purposes = investigation itself is expected to give another alternatives in learning geology aside from Karang Sambung camp. West Progo or Kulon Progo situated at western part of Yogyakarta, and some south eastern part of Central Java. Courtesy petacitra.blogspot.com 1. EOSEN OLIGOSEN TRASGRESSION 2.

Conclusion and Recommendation
1. Karang Sambung outcrops condition that need more protection (due to weathering and mining activities) urging Indonesias geology science developer to create another geological park for future excursions. 2. West Progo mountain can be another option for geological excursion in learning basin forming and geology.
3. Different kind of outcrops exposed in West Progo Mt. and surrounding can be valuable object for research purpose. 4. Series of mine and geotechnical object in this area can made it an interesting place to visit. 5. Series of mine and geotechnical object in this area can made it an interesting place to visit. 6. A lot of tourism place at West Progo can be another objects for vacation purpose. 7. Recommended place for future Geology research camps in this area can be built at Samigaluh district, Kokap district, Salaman district and Borobudur district.
