Yaringa 1:250 000 topographic map

This map is part of the series that covers the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:250 000 (1cm on a map represents 2.5 km on the ground) and comprises 513 maps. This is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent. Each standard map covers an area of 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150 kilometres from east to west and 110 kilometres from north to south. There are about 50 special maps in the series and these maps cover a non-standard area. Typically, where a map produced on standard sheet lines is largely ocean it is combined with its landward neighbour. These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and some administrative boundaries. The topographic map and data index shows coverage of the sheets. Product Specifications Coverage: The series covers the whole of Australia with 513 maps. Currency: Ranges from 1995 to 2009. 95% of maps have a reliability date of 1994 or later. Coordinates: Geographical and either AMG or MGA (post-1993) Datum: AGD66, GDA94, AHD. Projection: Universal Traverse Mercator (UTM) Medium: Paper, flat and folded copies.

The Babbagoola Beds, Officer Basin, Western Australia: correlations, micropalaeontology and implications for petroleum prospectivity

Lithological and palaeontological comparisons suggest correlation between the Babbagoola Beds in Western Australia and the Observatory Hill Beds of South Australia, which are considered to be the major potential source of petroleum in the eastern Officer Basin. The presence of potential petroleum traps, such as salt domes and broad anticlines, and good potential reservoir beds, such as the Lennis Sandstone and Wanna Beds in Western Australia, is now complemented by the suggestion of a potential early Cambrian petroleum source bed. Further petroleum exploration and stratigraphic drilling are warranted.

Introduction to tectonic plates (primary)

This short video by the Geoscience Australia Education Team is targeted at upper primary students but is suitable for a wider audience. It introduces the concept of tectonic plates making use of a tectonic plates puzzle. Students are asked to predict the direction and speed of plate movement and consider where and why earthquakes happen on the Australian Plate. It is an introduction to major concepts of Earth science delivered in a light-hearted manner with an interactive presentation style.

Tectonic evolution and exploration potential of the Gawler Craton, South Australia

Interpretation of newly acquired high-resolution aeromagnetic data, accompanied by reassessment of corresponding integrated geological data, establishes a complex Archaean to Mesoproterozoic tectonic history for the Gawler Craton in South Australia.  A key outcome is the recognition of major tectonic events between 1540 and 1565 Ma and at -1650 Ma that postdate the Kimban Orogeny. The northwest part of the craton was subjected to high-grade metamorphism at these times, whereas in the central part of the craton coeval deformation is focused within major shear zones. The proposed new name for this orogenic advent is the Kararan Orogeny, derived from the major crustal feature the Karari Fault. Deformation during the Kararan Orogeny was essentially contemporaneous with Hiltaba Suite and Gawler Range Volcanics magmatism and is a critical factor in the emplacement of copper-gold mineralisation.  We propose that deformation associated with the Kararan Orogeny is related to continental collision between the eastern proto-Yilgarn Craton, in the northwest, and the central Gawler Craton- East Antarctic Craton (the Mawson Continent) in the south. The Fowler Orogenic Belt is one of the most intensely deformed regions within what is a broad collisional zone, and together with adjacent less-deformed crust may host mantle-sourced Proterozoic nickel deposits.  Although recognition of the Kararan Orogeny is significant to our new understanding of the craton, there is a long and complex record of events that commenced in the late Archaean. Each stratigraphic unit within the craton and the subsequent tectonothermal history are briefly summarised. Newly available data have been included as far as possible following on from Drexel et al. (1993).  It is well known that the Gawler Craton is host to the world-class Mesoproterozoic Olympic Dam Cu- U- Au deposit. The craton also has significant potential for the discovery of additional Cu- Au deposits related to acid volcanism and/or late-stage high crustal level granitic intrusives associated with altered and deformed Archaean and Palaeoproterozoic hosts. This potential is now being realised with application of the cost-effective calcrete sampling technique to detect anomalous gold. The discovery, in 1996, of shear-hosted gold in the central Gawler Craton within the Yarlbrinda Shear Zone has intensified exploration in those regions where Hiltaba Suite and Gawler Range Volcanics intrude shattered basement.  Exploration expenditure for Archaean gold has increased significantly following discovery of the Challenger gold prospect in June 1995. Gold mineralisation occurs in complexly deformed Archaean quartz- feldspar- garnet- cordierite gneiss. Many other calcrete-hosted gold anomalies remain to be tested within poorly exposed Archaean Mulgathing Complex, which also includes layered ultramafic sills and exposed komatiites.

Total magnetic intensity (TMI) data measures variations in the intensity of the Earth's magnetic field caused by the contrasting content of rock-forming minerals in the Earth crust. Magnetic anomalies can be either positive (field stronger than normal) or negative (field weaker) depending on the susceptibility of the rock. The data are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
 These line dataset from the Murchison 2 (Perenjori), WA, 2011 survey were acquired in 2011 by the WA Government, and consisted of 121110 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 50m terrain clearance. To constrain long wavelengths in the data, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey data. This survey data is essentially levelled to AWAGS.
