The Adelaide Geosyncline contains an extremely thick folded Late Proterozoic to Middle Cambrian sequence deposited initially in rifted troughs and later in broad zones of regional subsidence. Age constraints on deposition are based on dating of rare igneous rocks near the base of the Adelaidean and on a few Rb-Sr whole rock shale ages. Contradictions between some of the data have yet to be resolved.
