Because they are metamorphic, the Banda Terrane sequences could be from a number of sources. Likely sources are 1) rifted metamorphic material from the ancient Great Indonesian Arc, 2) they are part of the original Australian continental basement, or 3) They are metamorphosed exposures of the subducted passive continental margins of Australia.

Petrological studies show that the Banda Terrane was formed as a clay-rich sedimentary unit derived from mafic
