Meratus Mountains is a meso-tethys suture resulting from collision between Schwaner and Paternoster microcontinents in the Early Cretaceous period, in which its emplacement was done through the obduction process of detached oceanic slab which then rose to the surface due to the exhumation of Paternoster slab underneath (Satyana, 2003 -HAGI & IAGI; Satyana & Armandita, 2008-HAGI, Satyana, 2010-IPA; Satyana, 2012-AAPG).
Exhumation is the re-lifting of a mass that once sank. Meratus Mountains Geopark has a relatively tectonic activities. It is based on two tectonic sutures assessed with metamorphic evolution performed by Soesilo et.al. (2015) and limited by Paternoster Microcontinent.
The Meratus Mountains are composed groups of Ultramafic, Malihan, Melange and breakthrough rocks (Ofiolite series) which are estimated to be Yura (150–200) years ago until Early / Lower Cretaceous (100-150) million years ago.
The Meratus Mountains Geopark is divided into 3 Geoarea :

Pegunungan Meratus merupakan sebuah Pegunungan ofiolit yang sejak Paleogen telah terletak di sebuah wilayah yang jauh dari tepi-tepi konvergensi lempeng.
Pegunungan Meratus tersusun oleh Kelompok Batuan Ultramafik, malihan, melange dan terobosan yang diperkirakan berumur Yura (150–200) juta tahun lalu sampai Kapur Awal/Bawah (100-150) juta tahun lalu, dimana batuan ini sebagai batuan tertua yang menjadi dasar pengendapan dari semua batuan yang ada di wilayah Kalimantan Selatan dan juga menjadi salah satu batuan tertua yang tersingkap di Indonesia.
