Published: 08 Nov 1978 Created: 06 Nov 2024 Revised: 06 Nov 2024
Author: Townsend, I.J.

Attempts have been made previously to correlate coal seams and interpret depositional environments and tectonics relative to the four Triassic coal deposits at Leigh Creek (Parkin 1953; Taylor 1954; Johns 1970, 1975; Johns and Townsend 1975). This...

Attempts have been made previously to correlate coal seams and interpret depositional environments and tectonics relative to the four Triassic coal deposits at Leigh Creek (Parkin 1953; Taylor 1954; Johns 1970, 1975; Johns and Townsend 1975). This note proposes a simple model incorporating two distinct periods of deposition to explain structural elements, coal composition and the distribution of coal measures in the four lobes denoted A (Copley), B (Telford) C and D (Northfield)
