Barite, BIFs and bugs: Evidence for the evolution of the Earth's earliest hydrosphere

The presence of relatively abundant bedded sulfate deposits before 3.2 Ga and after 1.8 Ga, the peak in iron formation abundance between 3.2 Ga and 1.8 Ga, and the aqueous geochemistry of sulfur and iron together suggest that the redox state, and the abundances of sulfur and iron in the hydrosphere varied widely during the Archean and Proterozoic. We propose a layered hydrosphere prior to 3.2 Ga in which sulfate produced by atmospheric photolytic reactions was enriched in an upper layer, whereas the underlying layer was reduced and sulfur-poor. Between 3.2 Ga and 2.4 Ga, sulfate reduction removed sulfate from the upper layer, producing broadly uniform, reduced, sulfur-poor and iron-rich oceans. As a result of increasing atmospheric oxygenation around 2.4 Ga, the flux of sulfate into the hydrosphere by oxidative weathering was greatly enhanced, producing layered oceans, with sulfate-enriched, iron-poor surface waters and reduced, sulfur-poor and iron-rich bottom waters. The rate at which this process proceeded varied between basins depending on the size and local environment of the basin. By 1.8 Ga, the hydrosphere was, relatively sulfate-rich and iron-poor throughout. Variations in sulfur and iron abundances suggest that the redox state of the oceans was buffered by iron before 2.4 Ga and by sulfur after 1.8 Ga.

A Stratigraphic Reconstruction of Bulk Volatile Chemistry from Fluid Inclusions in: Yongala 1

Exploring for the Future (EFTF) is an Australian Government program led by Geoscience Australia (GA), in partnership with state and Northern Territory governments. The EFTF program (2016-2024) aims to drive industry investment in resource exploration in frontier regions of onshore Australia by providing new precompetitive data and information about their energy, mineral and groundwater resource potential. 
Under the EFTF program, the Basin Inventory Project undertook a study of petroleum prospectivity of the onshore Eromanga Basin in Queensland and South Australia. Yongala 1 well in Queensland was selected based on the occurrence of gas and oil shows reported in the well completion report. Sampling of cuttings and cores was done at Geoscience Australia's Petroleum Data Repository in Canberra.
Geoscience Australia commissioned a fluid inclusion stratigraphy (FIS) study on the downhole samples.  Here, volatile components ostensibly trapped with fluid inclusions are released and analysed revealing the level of exposure of the well section to migrating fluids. Integration of thin section (TS) preparations reveal the extent of gas and fluid trapping within fluid inclusions while microthemometry (MT) gives an estimation of fluid inclusion trapping temperature.
For Yongala 1, FIS analysis was performed on 418 cuttings and 52 cores between 15.2 metres and 3104.5 metres base depth, together with 22 samples prepared for TS and 3 samples for MT. To support this study, lithostratigraphic tops were compiled by Geoscience Australia. The results of the study are found in the accompanying documents.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files: Dobbyn (se54-14)

AUSGeoid98 data files contain a 2 minute grid of AUSGeoid98 data covering the Australian region, which you can use to interpolate geoid-ellipsoid separations for the positions required.You can use your own interpolation software, or you can use Geoscience Australia's Windows Interpolation software (Winter). The data files are text files in a standard format that cover the same area as standard topographic map areas. Files covering both 1:250,000 (approximately 100 x 150 km) and 1:1,000,000 (approximately 400 x 600 km) map areas are available. There is a 4 minute overlap on all sides of each area. Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places. AUSGeoid98 deflections of the vertical were computed from the geoid-ellipsoid separation surface, while the AUSGeoid93 deflections of the vertical were computed from OSU91A.

TEISA - Area M2, SA, 2000 (Alberga) (P829), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled

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 TEISA - Area M2, SA, 2000 (Alberga) (P829), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled were acquired in 2000 by the SA Government, and consisted of 34000 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m 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.

Ordovician nautiloids of central Australia, with a revision of Madiganella Teichert and Glenister

Nautiloids mainly from the Lower Ordovician Horn Valley Siltstone of the Amadeus Basin are revised. Madiganella is shown to have unexpanded two-layered bullettes and well-developed endocones, the endosiphotube of which has previously been mistaken for a free siphonal tube. These features do not allow assignment of Madiganella to the Ruedemannoceratidae as has been suggested: instead the genus belongs to a new family of Discosorida. Madiganella magna Teichert and Glenister 1952 and M. sp. (Flower and Teichert, 1957) are shown to be synonyms of Madiganella tatei (Etheridge). Endoceras warburtoni Etheridge is assigned to Anthoceras Teichert and Glenister, and Anthoceras decorum Teichert and Glenister from Western Australia is considered a junior synonym. The specimens recently described by Crick and Teichert (1983) as A. decorum from Mount Arrowsmith, New South Wales, belong to a different species, herein named A. arrowsmithense n. sp. The type specimens of Bactroceras gossei (Etheridge) are redescribed and refigured. A species of Aphetoceras is present, but it is not Aphetoceras delectans Teichert and Glenister. Also present is Lobendoceras emanuelense Teichert and Glenister, as well as a new genus of discosorid, known also from Thailand and possibly from Queensland. Trochoceras recticostatum Tate is too poorly preserved to be assigned even to a family. Armenoceras is recorded from the Stairway Sandstone

Bodalla International Map of the World (IMW) 1:1 000 000 topographic map

The International Map of the World (IMW) series is no longer maintained, and printed copies of this map are no longer available. The Australian portion of the series consists of 49 maps. They were produced to an international specification using the R502 series at 1:250,000 scale as source material. Production commenced in 1926 and was completed in 1978. The maps were revised from time to time and the last reprint was undertaken in 2003. Each standard map sheet covers 4 degrees of latitude by 6 degrees of longitude and was produced using a Lambert Conformal Conic projection with 2 standard parallels. The series has recently been superseded by the 1:1 000 000 topographic map general reference.

Conodont apparatuses in an Upper Devonian palaeoniscoid fish from the Canning Basin, Western Australia

Conodont elements recovered from the gut region of a palaeoniscoid fish from the Gogo Formation, Upper Devonian (Frasnian), of the Canning Basin, Western Australia, are assigned to two multielement taxa. The complete apparatus of Oulodus angulatus (Hinde) has 15 elements, most of which have excellent preservation of the basal plate. An additional 13 elements are assigned to the Icriodus brevis apparatus which is not a complete apparatus. The term crown is introduced for the upper part of the conodont element. A conodont element, or element, is thus composed of two parts, the upper part or crown, and the lower part or basal plate. Four new terms - boss structure, prong, furrow and notch - are introduced to describe features of the basal plate.
