The term Adelaide Geosyncline is still appropriate and does not prejudice its interpretation in terms of modern tectonic theory. 3 new supergroups are proposed. The early Adelaidean Warrina Supergroup combines the Callanna Group and Burra Group, while...

The Adelaide Geosyncline is a deeply subsident Neoproterozoic to Middle Cambrian basin complex in South Australia with a record of at least five major successive rift cycles. Each rift system has its own locus and orientation. Although the rift...

The original objectives of this project were: 1) To understand the processes responsible for transporting, concentrating and fixing copper and other ore constituents during sedimentary basin evolution 2) To document the various stages and paragenesis...

An area covering most of the Willouran Ranges has been explored for possible economic buried epigenetic or sediment-hosted copper mineralisation that may have formed within the Proterozoic bedrock. Both primary and secondary copper targets were...

The PARACHILNA map area (31 to 32°S, 138 to 139.5°E) occupies the central Flinders Ranges which are made up of folded, mostly marine sedimentary Neoproterozoic and Cambrian rocks of the Adelaide Geosyncline, and adjoining plains underlain by Cainozoic...

The extremely thick succession provides one of the most complete sedimentary records for the Late Proterozoic. The term geosyncline is used in a non-genetic sense for the basin in which deposition occurred during the Adelaidean and Cambrian. Only the...
