Mineral systems of the Murray Basin , New South Wales
The Murray Basin in southeastern Australia is an intracratonic sedimentary basin of Cainozoic age that extends across 300 000 square kilometres of New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. The upper sequences, principally the Loxton–Parilla Sands, Calivil Formation and Shepparton Formation, contain economic accumulations of heavy mineral sands; bentonite; kaolin; and gypsum. Mineral sands ...
متن کاملMagmatic characteristics and geochronology of Ordovician igneous rocks from the Cadia –Neville region, New South Wales: implications for tectonic evolution*
TheOrdovician volcanic and intrusive rocks of the Cadia–Neville region, in the southern Molong Volcanic Belt section of the Macquarie Arc in central-western New South Wales, display a temporal progression from shoshonitic basaltic volcanism (e.g. Mt Pleasant Basalt Member) in the late Darriwilian to Gisbornian (ca 460–453 Ma) to small-volume dacitic medium-K calc-alkaline magmatism (e.g. Copper...
متن کاملTectonic setting of outer trench slope volcanism: pillow basalt and limestone in the Taconian orogen of eastern New York
The only pillow basalt in synorogenic sedimentary rocks at the exterior margin of the Taconic orogen in eastern North America is at Stark’s Knob in eastern New York. Earlier reported as extrusive into allochthonous Ordovician slope and rise facies, this small lens (ca. 125+ m long, 39 m thick) is a fault-bounded block in Upper Ordovician melange under the Taconian frontal thrust. Its N-MORB (no...
متن کاملTectonic Evolution of the Japanese Island Arc System
■ Abstract Growth of the Japanese arc system, which has mainly taken place along the continental margin of Asia since the Permian, is the result of subduction of the ancient Pacific ocean floor. Backarc basin formation in the Tertiary shaped the presentday arc configuration. The neotectonic regime, which is characterized by strong eastwest compression, has been triggered by the eastward motion ...
متن کاملNeogene tectonic evolution of the Gibraltar Arc: New paleomagnetic constrains from the Betic chain
New paleomagnetic results from Neogene sedimentary sequences from the Betic chain (Spain) are here presented. Sedimentary basins located in different areas were selected in order to obtain paleomagnetic data from structural domains that experienced different tectonic evolution during the Neogene. Whereas no rotations have been evidenced in the Late Tortonian sediments in the Guadalquivir forela...
