In Totogan Village, there is an outcrop of the Totogan Formation which is composed of white, red and green marble. The marble stones in the Totogan Formation are part of the Karangsambung Geopark nature reserve, so its existence is one of the important sites. This study aims to determine the distribution of the presence of marble stones in the Totogan Formation using the microtremor method. Identification of the presence of marble stones was carried out using rock density parameters based on microtremor data. The density value at the measurement site varies between 400 – 2600 kg/m3. The density of rocks with a value of <1000 kg/m3 is interpreted as a surface soil layer, a density of 1000 – 1400 kg/m3 is interpreted as weathered Marble and a density of >1400 kg/m3 is fresh marble.
