Large potential field anomalies can be observed in the Marla region of northern South Australia, and have been used to define the northern limit of the Gawler Craton. The subject project’s aim was to model the plausible source(s) for each of those...

Upper crustal strata forming the northern to central Flinders Ranges area comprise uplifted and eroded remnants of openly folded sedimentary rocks that were deposited in an intra-continental arm of the Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian Adelaide...

The northern to central Flinders Ranges area comprise uplifted and eroded remnants of openly folded sedimentary rocks that were deposited in an intra-continental arm of the Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian Adelaide Geosyncline. Deposition was...

South Australia’s Olympic Cu-Au Province hosts some of the world’s great iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposits, such as Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and Carrapateena. The same causative thermal event resulted in variants of this deposit class being...

This report presents the results from zircon LA–ICP–MS U–Pb geochronological age determinations, and both trace and rare earth element abundance geochemical analyses, performed on fifteen outcrop and drill core samples originating from the...

This report presents the results from multi-isotopic apatite and zircon SHRIMP U–Pb geochronology on thirteen samples from the central-western Gawler Craton. Eleven drill core samples are interpreted ultramafic to mafic intrusive rocks, with most...

This Report Book contains zircon U-Pb geochronological data obtained between December 2006 and June 2007, for rock samples derived from the Gawler Craton of South Australia. The geochronological study was undertaken as part of the National Geoscience...

The geology of the Lake Gilles locale in the south-west of the PORT AUGUSTA 1:250k map sheet area is poorly understood. Outcrop of basement rocks there is sparse, and typically occurs along the margins of the salt lake, where it is highly weathered....

The major units present are Middle Proterozoic leucogranites, alkali granites and porphyries, overlain by Pleistocene Bridgewater Formation. Leucogranites contain up to 10% phenocrysts of potassium feldspar and bluish quartz, alkali granites contain...

This report book presents the results of seven geochronology research projects completed during 2009 and 2010 as a new part of the ongoing PACE Initiative geoscientific data gathering activity underwritten by the South Australian Government. It has...

The 2010 GOMA basement drilling program formed part of a collaborative ARC Linkage Project LP0882000 " Unearthing the marginal terrains of the South Australian Craton: Keystone of Proterozoic Australia " arranged between Primary Industries and...

A suite of intrusives (St Peter Suite - new name) along western Eyre Peninsula displays a wide range in composition, texture and relationships. The features are typical for mingling and mixing of felsic and mafic magmas, with U-Pb geochronology...

U-Pb zircon geochronology of the Nuyts Volcanics yielded an age of 1627 +/- 2 Ma, supporting a previous dating of 1631 +/- 3 Ma. The major and trace element compositions, as well as the presence of a tectonic fabric, suggest that the Nuyts Volcanics...
