Tabin DRY mud
Some of the important features of Tabin are its mineral sources including at least three "Mud Volcanoes." Simply put, a mud volcano is a hill (mound) of mud and clay pushed or heaved up through overlying sediments  The mud is formed when volcanic (heated) gasses dissolved in hot ground water interact with the igneous rocks a few meters below the surface. A thick and gooey acidic mixture, which varies in water content through the year, is formed. This mixture of mud and clay is continually pushed up and form an elevated cone above the surrounding area about 3m to 12m high. The mud soon dries to a solid, crumbly, rock. At the top of the volcano, mud is continually, though slowly, released and forms a small pool.The rocks, soil and water in the area of the primary mud volcano are highly saline, and the pH is quite alkaline (averaging 8.0) This area serves as a mineral salt lick for many animals including birds. It is perhaps for this reason that such a great diversity of large mammals including elephants, wild cattle (Tembadau), and bearded pigs.

Biography Archeology study shown that the earlier human(paleolithic) community stay in Tinkayu and Madai Cave.It was the time when early humans gained increasing control over their surroundings and later saw the emergence of modern humans around 20,000 years ago. Stone tool manufacturing developed a more sophisticated tool making technique which permitted the creation of more controlled and consistent flakes. Hunting provided the primary food source but people also began to exploit shellfish and may have begun smoking and drying meat to preserve it. This would have required a mastery of fire and some sites indicate that plant resources were managed through selective burning of wide areas. There is also some evidence of purposeful burial of the dead which may indicate religious and ritual behaviors. History of Sabah shown that Idahan's is the earlier community stay in Madai Cave 10 000yrs ago. LAHAD DATU NAME COME FROM?   History shown tha
