Full textThe Onkaparinga Gorge, situated on the Onkaparinga River southwest of Clarendon contains exposed middle Adelaidean rocks of the southern Adelaide Fold Belt. The structural geometry displayed exists as the result of a Cambro-Ordovician compressional deformation, the Delamarian Orogeny. Folds are gentle in competent strata and close to tight and west vergent in fine grained incompetent strata. The majority of faulting is thrusting oriented subparallel to bedding with one high angle thrust, the Onkaparinga Fault that crosscuts all other tectonic elements. Low angle thrusting caused the repetition of competent beds and the duplexing or imbrication of incompetent units. Total displacement calculated by the addition of all minimum displacements measured on individual thrusts is in the order of 1.8 kilometres. Strain patterns indicate that thickening of bedding has occurred in the Sturt Formation diamictite with considerable shortening and volume loss due to compaction. The style of deformation in the Belair Subgroup is one of stretching parallel to bedding. The difference in strain patterns in the two above mentioned formations suggests that there is a structural discontinuity between the Belair Subgroup and the Sturt Formation. Evidence from geological mapping and subsequent stereographic projections of field data indicates that thrusting subparallel to bedding has been the major deformational influence at the levels of the Sturt and Tapley Hill Formations with folding less influential. This evidence may support the existence of a roof thrust zone at this level but such features can also be attributed to other deformational models. Two models of tectonic evolution can explain the current structural geometry in the Onkaparinga Gorge. The first model associates the thrusting observed with fold development during compression. The second model proposes a two-part deformation of thrusting followed by folding of the thrusted strata during continued compression.

Full textSediments belonging to the western frontal margin of the Adelaide Fold Belt in the Southern Flinders Ranges have undergone deformation in the Delamerian Orogeny. Through continual E-W compression the, the sediments were folded and thrusted. A major decolloment was formed within the Callanna Beds at the base of the Adelaidean Sequence and a thin thrust sheet (approx. 5km) was produced. The decollement extends to the edge of the ranges, to the west of which are the relatively undeformed units of the Stuart Shelf. Within the thrust sheet, a high degree of subsidiary thrusting occurred leading to the generation of three distinct geometrical subdomains. These are a series of back thrusts near the leading edge of the thrust sheet, a series of forward thrusts to the east of the sections and a triangle zone between the two. Localised high strain areas occur along, or in the vicinity of thrusts in an otherwise low strain area. The amount of crustal shortening within this part of the fold belt is on average 4.4km. This has been largely accommodated by the thrust displacement and to a lesser extent fault bend folds, fault propagation folds and cleavage development.

This study demonstrates the need for refinement of the established approach to interbasin stratigraphic correlation based on C-isotope geochemistry. High data resolution is desirable and correlation should take into account lithostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy rather than soley relying on data trends or absolute [delta]13C values.

Full textPeak metamorphic growth in high temperature - low pressure terrains is commonly associated with crustal thickening strains reflected in syn-tectonic fabrics. Conductive heat transfer through the lithosphere for geologically plausible thermal and mechanical configurations is unable to produce such temperatures and thus an advective thermal perturbation is required, and is commonly in the form of granitic melts. Thermal weakening of the lithosphere as a consequence of this advective heat allows the potential for crustal thickening strain increments. In this thesis a coupled thermo-mechanical model is presented which allows quantification of this thermal weakening effect. Two granite generation models are investigated; firstly, lower crustal melting due to conductive heating of the lithosphere during orogenesis and secondly, segregation or roof rock melting from mafic sills located at the base of the crust. Results from the model indicate that, for granites produced by melting of the lower crust, crustal thickening strains increments are only in the order of 5 -10 %. However, for granites produced by segregation from a mafic sill crustal strain increments of up to 30% may occur during emplacement. Thus, in order to produce peak metamorphic temperatures associated with significant crustal strain a system analogous to the second model is required. Structural and metamorphic studies of the Palmer region in the southern Adelaide Fold Belt reveal the associated development of partial melting and peak metamorphism with the intrusion of the orthogneissic Rathjen Gneiss during the regional D1 folding event. Thermal weakening triggered by the Rathjen Gneiss has produced a local D2 folding event. Areas at some distance from the Rathjen Gneiss exhibit peak metamorphic growth during D2 consistant with the delayed peak temperatures from the cooling body.

Full textIntegration of a high resolution aeromagnetic survey with detailed structural field data has been achieved in the Bull Creek area of the southern Adelaide Fold Belt, resulting in a comprehensive model for the structural evolution of this area. Aeromagnetic data has placed constraints upon structures mapped at the surface and has also revealed information concerning the nature of structures at depth. The successful interpretation of data is due to the good lithomagnetic marker horizons within the area. These horizons include the magnetic Barossa Complex basement and lithomagnetic units of the Adelaide Supergroup and Kanmantoo Group metasediments. The Brachina Formation, an important magnetic marker horizon of the Adelaide Supergroup, lies at depth (due to thrust related tear-faulting) beneath a magnetic cover of Backstairs Passage Formation of the Kanmantoo Group sediments. Geophysical images and contour maps reveal the location and intensity of important magnetic and radiometric anomalies which constrain the interpretation of mapped structures. Modelling of individual magnetic profiles places constraints on the depth to the top, the width, dip and susceptibility of magnetic bodies. Vertical gradient filtering enhances the edges of two dimensional sources and Automated Gains Control filtering amplifies the effects of small anomalies. A model suggesting multiple sequential thrusting has been devised for the Bull Creek area. This model incorporates a basal decollement located within the basement (4-5 km beneath the present erosion level) which has transported a sliver of basement complex to the surface where it forms a hanging wall anticline. An upper detachment has formed near the basement - cover contact within the basal unit of the Adelaidean sequence. High angle histric thrusts of an imbricate fan (or sigmoidal faults of a duplex system?) stem from this detachment fault.

Full textThe Wonoka Formation of the Adelaide Fold Belt represents the only well described example of a late Proterozoic storm dominated carbonate shelf sequence with the considerable thickness and lateral extent of the formation making it an excellent opportunity for applying the principles of isotope stratigraphy. Sequences exposed at Warraweena, which lies on the boundary between the Central and Northern Flinders Zones, were analysed for stable isotope ratios of carbon and oxygen. Geochemical, petrographic and cathodoluminescent analysis of individual samples was used to identify those carbonates which have experienced significant diagenetic alteration. These values were not included in the interpretation of the formation's isotopic signal. Plotting of the least altered values against stratigraphic height revealed a consistent carbon isotopic trend. This trend was divided into two sections, termed the Lower Wonoka Signal and the Upper Wonoka Signal. The Lower Wonoka Signal is defined by the extremely consistent negative signal (delta13c = -8 to -7o/oo) characteristic of the lower- to mid-Wonoka Formation. This signal is interpreted to be a product of deposition and lithification in basinal waters that contain anomalously light dissolved carbonate. The Upper Wonoka Signal comprises a shift to more positive values (a13c = -5 to +6 o/oo) and is interpreted to be a reflection of carbonate deposition in shallow surface waters, possibly in association with the formation of a partially restricted lagoon. Strontium isotopic analysis reveals 87Sr/86Sr values that are interpreted to be of primary origin. These values, when compared to data obtained by previous authors for the equivalent time period, give an estimated age of 560-590 Ma for the Wonoka Formation.
