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...

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 and the Gawler Range Volcanics represent two very different episodes of volcanism. Associated leucogranites and leucoporphyries represent a discrete episode of magmatism, most likely associated with the waning stages of the Kimban Orogeny.
