Abstract:

George Henry Frederick Ulrich (1830–1900) was educated at the Clausthal Mining School in Germany and arrived in Victoria in 1853. After a short period on the goldfields, he was employed on the Mining Commission and then on the Geological Survey of Victoria until its closure in 1868. In 1870 he was appointed Curator and Lecturer at the newly established Industrial and Technological Museum of Victoria. In 1878 he was appointed inaugural Director of the Otago School of Mines, New Zealand, a position he held until his death in 1900. His legacy includes detailed original maps of central Victorian goldfields, the foundation of the state’s geological collections, and among the first accounts of Victorian geology published in German periodicals, until now little known. As the only scientist of his times in Victoria with the qualifications and expertise to accurately identify and properly describe minerals, he provided the first comprehensive accounts of Victorian mineralogy, including the identification of the first new mineral in Australia, which he named maldonite. His contribution to mineralogy is recognised by the species ulrichite. Ulrich was universally respected for his scientific achievements and highly regarded for his personal qualities.

Birch, William D. "Mineralogy of the Silver King deposit, Omeo, Victoria." Proceedings of the Royal Society of Victoria 129, no. 1 (2017): 41. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/rs17004.

Full text

Abstract:

The Silver King mine (also known as Forsyths) operated very intermittently between about 1911 and the late 1940s on Livingstone Creek, near Omeo, in northeastern Victoria. The deposit consists of six thin and discontinuous quartz lodes that are variably mineralised. Assays of up to 410 ounces of silver per ton were obtained but there are only a few recorded production figures. Examination of representative ore samples shows that the main silver-bearing minerals in the primary ore are pyrargyrite, freibergite, andorite and the rare sulphosalt zoubekite, which occur irregularly with pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena and sphalerite. Phase assemblage data indicate that crystallisation occurred over an interval from about 450°C to less than 250°C, with the silver-bearing minerals crystallising at the lowest temperatures. The lodes were formed by the emplacement of hydrothermal solutions into fractures within the Ensay Shear Zone during the Early Devonian Bindian Orogeny. There are similarities in mineralisation and timing of emplacement between the Silver King lodes and the quartz-reef-hosted Glen Wills and Sunnyside goldfields 35‒40 km north of Omeo.

Full text

Abstract:

The Wedderburn meteorite from Victoria is a small nickel-rich iron belonging to the rare sLH subgroup of the IAB complex. Donated to the Mines Department in 1950, it came to public attention in 1953 when the initial description was published by Dr Austin Edwards in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Victoria. Since then, pieces of the meteorite have been distributed to major institutions in Europe and North America, where leading researchers have investigated the meteorite’s unusual chemistry, mineralogy and microtexture in great detail. The recent approval of a new iron carbide mineral named edscottite, with the formula Fe5C2, in Wedderburn has prompted this review of the meteorite’s history, from its discovery to its current classification status.

Full text

Abstract:

The Otway Basin is one of the best known and most actively explored of a series of Mesozoic basins formed along the southern coastline of Australia by the rifting of the Antarctic and Australian plates during the Cretaceous. The basin offers a diversity of play types, with at least three major sedimentary sequences forming conventional targets for petroleum exploration in the onshore basin. The Penola Trough in South Australia has enjoyed over 20 years of commercial hydrocarbon production from the sandstones of the Early Cretaceous Otway Group comprising the Crayfish Subgroup (Pretty Hill Formation and Katnook sandstones) and Eumeralla Formation (Windermere Sandstone Member). Lithostratigraphic characterisation and nomenclature for these sequences are poorly constrained, challenging correlation across the border into the potentially petroleum prospective Victorian Penola Trough region. The Geological Survey of Victoria (GSV), as part of the Victorian Gas Program, commissioned Chemostrat Australia to undertake an 11-well chemostratigraphic study of the Victorian Otway Basin. The South Australia Department for Energy and Mining, GSV and Chemostrat Australia are working collaboratively to develop a consistent, basin-wide schema for the stratigraphic nomenclature of the Otway Basin within a chemostratigraphic framework. Variability in the mineralogy and hence inorganic geochemistry of sediments reflects changes in provenance, lithic composition, facies changes, weathering and diagenesis. This geochemical variation enables the differentiation of apparently uniform sedimentary successions into unique sequences and packages, aiding in the resolution of complex structural relationships and facies changes. In this paper, we present the preliminary results of detailed geochemical analyses and interpretation of 15 wells from across the Otway Basin and the potential impacts on hydrocarbon prospectivity.

Abstract:

Abstract. Lake Vida, located in Victoria Valley, is one of the largest lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys. Unlike other lakes in the region, the surface ice extends at least 27 m, which has created an extreme and unique habitat by isolating a liquid-brine with salinity of 195 g L−1. Below 21 m, the ice is marked by well-sorted sand layers up to 20 cm thick, within a matrix of salty ice. From ice chemistry, isotopic abundances of 18O and 2H, ground penetrating radar profiles, and mineralogy, we conclude that the entire 27 m of ice formed from surface runoff, and the sediment layers represent the accumulation of fluvial and aeolian deposits. Radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence dating limit the maximum age of the lower ice to 6300 14C yr BP. As the ice cover ablated downwards during periods of low surface inflow, progressive accumulation of sediment layers insulated and preserved the ice and brine beneath; analogous to the processes that preserve shallow ground ice. The repetition of these sediment layers reveals climatic variability in Victoria Valley during the mid- to late Holocene. Lake Vida is an excellent Mars analog for understanding the preservation of subsurface brine, ice and sediment in a cold desert environment.

Abstract:

The Tertiary stocks (Meander Intrusives) cropping out along the coasts of the Ross Sea were sampled for a palaeomagnetic study during the sixth Italian expedition to northern Victoria Land. Laboratory investigations concerned magnetic mineralogy and remanent magnetization. Minerals of the magnetiteulvöspinel series occur in the rocks from all stocks, with low-Ti titanomagnetite usually prevalent. Haematite and goethite occur in small amounts as alteration products. Large secondary components commonly screen the characteristic remanent magnetization and were removed by thermal or AF demagnetization at temperatures or peak-fields higher than 360°C and 20 mT respectively. A total of 10 VGPs were obtained from radiometrically dated rocks (42–22 Ma); the averaged position (69°S, 334°E; α95=9.9°) is the first middle Tertiary palaeomagnetic pole for East Antarctica, and gives evidence for a reversal in the course of the APW path. This evidence is not substantially altered by a supposed tilt-correction consistent with geophysical and geological models for the uplift of the Transantarctic Mountains. No definite conclusion about relative movements between East Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula can be drawn from the existing palaeomagnetic data.

Abstract:

After the summer field season of 1989 in the Pakistani Karakoram, I drove to Oxford, the ‘city of dreaming spires’ and arrived in the Department of Earth Sciences. In those days Oxford was probably the best field-geology ‘hard-rock’ department in the country and one of the best in the world. It was a wonderful place for me, buzzing with excitement and full of talented geologists working on projects all over the world. John Platt had post-graduate students working on several projects in the European Alps and the Spanish Betics, Simon Lamb was starting a major new field project in the Andes of Bolivia, and the department had some of the world’s leading igneous petrologists working on volcanic and granitic rocks all over the world. The department was overflowing and I was given an office on the top floor of the ‘annexe’ a wonderful old Victorian building at 62, Banbury Road. My office was up in the attic and I called this grandly the ‘Oxford Centre of Himalayan Research’. Right across the Banbury Road was an excellent public house, the Rose and Crown on North Parade, and we used to congregate there regularly for discussions on geology, and the world in general over a pint or two of traditional real ale. It was an excellent life. In the 1830s the first Professor of Geology in Oxford was the Reverend William Buckland who naturally came with a lot of religious baggage. Buckland was a bit of an eccentric in many ways including living with and eating a whole variety of wild animals and doing his geological fieldwork dressed in full academic gown. Following Buckland the department settled down to a more conventional geological approach, studying the stratigraphy and palaeontology of Oxfordshire. By the 1950s Oxford had become one of the leading departments of geology and mineralogy in the world. The head of department was Lawrence Wager, who had made his name studying the classic Skaergaard igneous intrusion of Greenland. Wager had earlier joined the 1933 Everest expedition climbing to 27,500 feet on the north ridge and collecting an extremely useful set of samples from the north slopes of Everest.
