Great Artesian Basin - Cadna-owie Hooray Aquifer - 36Cl/Cl Ratio

Data used to produce the predicted 36Cl/Cl map for the Cadna-owie - Hooray Aquifer in the Hydrogeological Atlas of the Great Artesian Basin (Ransley et.al., 2015).
There are four layers in the Cadna-owie - Hooray Aquifer  36Cl/Cl map data
A. Location of hydrochemistry samples (Point data, Shapefile)
B. Predicted Concentration (Filled contours , Shapefile)
C. Predicted Concentration Contours (Contours, Shapefile)
D. Prediction Standard Error (Filled contours , Shapefile)
The predicted values provide a regional based estimate and may be associated with considerable error. It is recommended that the predicted values are read together with the predicted error map, which provides an estimate of the absolute standard error associated with the predicted values at any point within the map.
The predicted standard error map provides an absolute standard error associated with the predicted values at any point within the map. Please note this is not a relative error map and the concentration of a parameter needs to be considered when interpreting the map. Predicted standard error values are low where the concentration is low and there is a high density of samples. Predicted standard errors values can be high where the concentration is high and there is moderate variability between nearby samples or where there is a paucity of data.
Units are 36Cl/Cl x10-15
Coordinate system is Lambert conformal conic GDA 1994, with central meridian 134 degrees longitude, standard parallels at -18 and -36 degrees latitude.
The Cadna-owie - Hooray Aquifer 36Cl/Cl map is one of 14 hydrochemistry maps for the Cadna-owie - Hooray Aquifer and 24 hydrochemistry maps in the Hydrogeological Atlas of the Great Artesian Basin (Ransley et.al., 2014).

National Catchment Boundaries v 1.1.4

The National Catchment Database is a linked set of spatial layers and associated attribute tables describing key elements of the surface water hydrology of the Australian continent at a map scale of about 1:250,000.  It is built upon the representation of surface drainage patterns provided by the GEODATA national 9 second Digital Elevation Model (DEM) Version 3 (ANU Fenner School of Environment and Society  and Geoscience Australia, 2008). The stream network and catchment boundaries contained within the database form foundation elements of the Bureau of Meteorology's Australian Hydrological Geospatial Fabric (Geofabric), the spatial framework that underpins the Australian Water Resources Information System (AWRIS) (http://www.bom.gov.au/water/geofabric/index.shtml).  This database adds additional environmental attributes not available through the AHGF.  The database contains Levels 1 (drainage divisions) and 2 (aggregated river basins group) National Catchment Boundaries (NCB) in raster format including NCB Pfafstetter coding. The Vector format is available from the Bureau's Geobraic website.

Fowler Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and DEM Survey, SA, 2017 (P1285), radiometric line data

The radiometric, or gamma-ray spectrometric method, measures the natural variations in the gamma-rays detected near the Earth's surface as the result of the natural radioactive decay of potassium (K), uranium (U) and thorium (Th). The data collected 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.
 This Fowler Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and DEM Survey, SA, 2017 (P1285), radiometric line data were acquired in 2017 by the SA Government, and consisted of 94903 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

L054 Moree seismic reflection and refraction survey, NSW, 1962

Between April and July 1962, a seismic party from the Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics made a seismic reflection and refraction survey in the Moree area of New South Wales. The main purpose of the survey was to investigate whether the southern extension of the Bowen Basin beneath the Great Artesian Basin from Meandarra to Toobeah continued as far south as Moree and joined the Sydney Basin. Three east-west traverses were shot using a method of reconnaissance reflection shooting, the first near Dolgelly Bore, the second through Moree, and the third through Bellata. The third traverse was extended eastward as far as the Horton River to investigate the Hunter-Bowen Thrust zone. In addition, three north-south refraction traverses were shot in the middle, and on both ends, of the east-west traverse through Moree. A north-south reflection traverse was shot north of Dolgelly Bore.Results in the Moree and Bellata areas were of poor quality and in the Bellata area in particular, owing to surface basalt flows, little information was obtained. The Hunter-Bowen Thrust area was not distinguished by the seismic work. The seismic results indicated that the trough of sediments extending southwards through Dolgelly Bore was at least 7500 ft deep south of Dolgelly Bore. The eastern margin of the trough is probably an overthrust fault. In the Moree area, two troughs were indicated, viz. the Biniguy Trough in the east where about 7000 ft of sediments was estimated separated by the Pallamallawa Ridge from the Moree Trough in the west where about 11,000 ft of sediments was estimated. Poor results in the Bellata area failed to indicate whether the Moree Trough joined the Sydney Basin.

An overview of post-Mesoproterozoic mineralisation in Queensland

Post-Mesoproterozoic mineralisation in Queensland occurs within discrete time slices which are related to major tectono-stratigraphic events.  Although these events have been studied in sufficient depth to develop an overall geological framework for Queensland, considerable controversy and debate continue over their tectonic settings.  The Neoproterozoic to Cambrian metamorphic rocks contain only minor mineralisation, in the form of banded iron formation, Besshi-type copper and minor quartz-vein gold, Cambrian to Ordovician mineralisation is dominated by Kuroko-style volcanic-hosted massive sulphides in back-arc basins in North Queensland and phosphorites in the Georgina Basin. The Silurian to Middle Devonian is marked by granite intrusion in North Queensland, in the Anakie Province and at Mount Morgan. Depositions of sedimentary and volcanic rocks occur for the first time in the New England Fold Belt. Mineralisation is dominated by granite associated gold, and the volcanic-hosted Mount Morgan copper- gold deposit. There are also Besshi-type copper deposits in the Hodgkinson Province. In the Late Devonian to Carboniferous, intracratonic basins formed on the stable craton in north Queensland and a major volcanic arc formed in the New England Fold Belt with minor associated mineralisation. The Carboniferous to Early Permian is a major mineralising epoch in North Queensland associated with extensive felsic volcanism and intrusion. Porphyry-related gold (including Kidston, Mount Leyshon and Red Dome), tin, tungsten-molybdenum-bismuth, and uranium deposits are all present. Epithermal gold mineralisation is common in the northern Drummond Basin, as is slate-belt gold in the Hodgkinson and Broken River Provinces.  Gold occurs in basal Permian conglomerates near Clermont. In the New England Fold Belt, Kuroko-style volcanic-hosted massive sulphides occur at Mount Chalmers and sediment-hosted sulphides at Silver Spur.  The Late Permian to Triassic represents a period of significant mineralisation in the New England Fold Belt. Volcanic and granite-associated gold mineralisation is widespread. Gold deposits at Gympie, which are hosted in Early Permian rocks, owe their mineralisation to this younger event. Porphyry coppers and skarns are present and a variety of other minerals (magnetite, zinc, mercury, silver, chromite, tin and arsenic) are known. Mineralisation in the Cretaceous comprises gold and copper associated with granite emplacement in the northernmost New England Fold Belt. Numerous placer deposits formed in the Cainozoic, as did weathering-related deposits such as bauxite at Weipa and lateritic nickel-cobalt at Greenvale and in central Queensland. The Kunwarara magnesite also formed at this time.

Implications of fault-plane solutions for Australian earthquakes on 4 July 1977, 6 May 1978 and 25 November 1978

Fault-plane solutions determined for earthquakes in northwestern Australia (6 May 1978), central Australia (25 November 1978) and southeastern Australia (4 July 1977) each indicate nearly horizontal axes of maximum compressive stress. However, the azimuths of these axes are different from the azimuths of maximum stress axes determined previously for earthquakes in each area. This may be the result of a combination of warped stress fields at the junction of geologically different crustal blocks, and faulting in weakened zones of these blocks where the strike is oblique to the regional direction of maximum stress. Results in northwestern Australia can be explained by such effects.

Summary of results. Joint NTGS-GA geochronology project: Tanami region 2001-2002

SHRIMP U-Pb zircon geochronology results are presented for nine samples collected in the Tanami Region during the GA1-NTGS geochronology field sampling trip in July 2001.
The Dead Bullock Formation (2001082513) is assigned a maximum depositional age of 1865 ± 12 Ma (2σ). Previously, this unit was assigned to the MacFarlane Peak Group of Hendrickx et al (2000) and was thought to have been deposited between 1880 Ma and 1910 Ma. Results for four samples of the Killi Killi Formation have confirmed the widespread occurrence of this unit, its characteristic detrital zircon provenance signature and consistent maximum deposition age of 1840 Ma. The maximum deposition age of the Wilson Formation (Ware Group) is determined to be 1800 ± 31 Ma. The Pargee Sandstone was previously interpreted as a syn-orogenic molasse, deposited during the Tanami Orogenic Event (1848 Ma-1825 Ma). SHRIMP U-Pb detrital zircon results for sample 2001082517 prove this to be incorrect, as the youngest group of seven zircons from this sample records ages between 1735 Ma and 1770 Ma.
