Abstract:
Abstract The location of the Tarim craton during the assembly and breakup of the Rodinia supercontinent remains enigmatic, with some models advocating a Tarim-Australia connection and others a location at the heart of the unified Rodinia supercontinent between Australia and Laurentia. In this study, our new zircon U-Pb dating results suggest that middle Neoproterozoic sedimentary rocks in the Altyn Tagh orogen of the southeastern Tarim craton were deposited between ca. 880 and 760 Ma in a rifting-related setting slightly prior to the breakup of Rodinia at ca. 750 Ma. A compilation of existing Neoproterozoic geological records also indicates that the Altyn Tagh orogen of the southeastern Tarim craton underwent collision at ca. 1.0-0.9 Ga and rifting at ca. 850-600 Ma related to the assembly and breakup of Rodinia. Furthermore, in order to establish the paleoposition of the Tarim craton with respect to Rodinia, available detrital zircon U-Pb ages and Hf isotopes from Meso- to Neoproterozoic sedimentary rocks were compiled. Comparable detrital zircon ages (at ca. 0.9, 1.3-1.1, and 1.7 Ga) and Hf isotopes indicate a close linkage among rocks of the southeastern Tarim craton, Cathaysia, and North India but exclude a northern or western Australian affinity. In addition, detrital zircons from the northern Tarim craton exhibit a prominent age peak at ca. 830 Ma with minor spectra at ca. 1.9 and 2.5 Ga but lack Mesoproterozoic ages, comparable to the northern and western Yangtze block. Together with comparable geological responses to the assembly and breakup of the Rodinia supercontinent, we offer a new perspective of the location of the Tarim craton between South China and North India in the periphery of Rodinia.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The Australian territory is just over 400 km from an active convergent plate margin with the collision of the Sunda–Banda Arc with the Precambrian and Palaeozoic Australian continental crust. Seismic energy from earthquakes in the northern Australian plate-margin region are channeled efficiently through the low-attenuation North Australian craton (NAC), with moderate-sized (Mw≥5.0) earthquakes in the Banda Sea commonly felt in northern Australia. A far-field ground-motion model (GMM) has been developed for use in seismic hazard studies for sites located within the NAC. The model is applicable for hypocentral distances of approximately 500–1500 km and magnitudes up to Mw 8.0. The GMM provides coefficients for peak ground acceleration, peak ground velocity, and 5%-damped pseudospectral acceleration at 20 oscillator periods from 0.1 to 10 s. A strong hypocentral depth dependence is observed in empirical data, with earthquakes occurring at depths of 100–200 km demonstrating larger amplitudes for short-period ground motions than events with shallower hypocenters. The depth dependence of ground motion diminishes with longer spectral periods, suggesting that the relatively larger ground motions for deeper earthquake hypocenters may be due to more compact ruptures producing higher stress drops at depth. Compared with the mean Next Generation Attenuation-East GMM developed for the central and eastern United States (which is applicable for a similar distance range), the NAC GMM demonstrates significantly higher short-period ground motion for Banda Sea events, transitioning to lower relative accelerations for longer period ground motions.

Abstract:
Regional geophysics research provides for prospect assessment of Timor-Leste, part of the Southeast Asia Archipelago in a region embracing the Banda Arc, Timor Island, and the northwest Australia Gondwana continental margin edge. Timor Island is a microcontinent with several distinct tectonic provinces that developed initially by rifting and drifting away from the Australian Plate. A compressive convergence began in the Miocene whereby the continental edge of the large craton collided with the microcontinent, forming a subduction zone under the island. The bulk of Timor Island consists of a complex mélange of Tertiary, Cretaceous, Jurassic, Triassic, Permian, and volcanic features over a basal Gondwana craton. Toward the north, the offshore consists of a Tertiary minibasin facing the Banda Arc Archipelago, with volcanics interspersed onshore with the basal Gondwana pre-Permian. A prominent central overthrust nappe of Jurassic and younger layers makes up the mountains of Timor-Leste, terminating south against an accretionary wedge formed by this ongoing collision of Timor and Australia. The northern coast of the island is part of the Indonesian back arc, whereas the southern littoral onshore plus shallow waters are part of the accretionary prism. Deepwater provinces embrace the Timor Trough and the slope of the Australian continental margin being the most prospective region of Timor-Leste. Overall crust and mantle tectonic structuring of Timor-Leste is interpreted from seismic and potential field data, focusing mostly on its southern offshore geology where hydrocarbon prospectivity has been established with interpretation of regional seismic data and analyses of gravity, magnetic, and earthquake data. Well data tied to seismic provides focal points for stratigraphic correlation. Although all the known producing hydrocarbon reservoirs of the offshore are Jurassic sands, interpretation of Permian and Triassic stratigraphy provides knowledge for future prospect drilling risk assessment, both onshore and offshore.

Abstract:
A second species of the placoderm genus Placolepis (Pl. harajica sp. nov.), based on a single articulated specimen from Givetian–Frasnian strata in the MacDonnell Ranges, demonstrates the occurrence of this taxon across the Australian craton. Placolepis (order Phyllolepida) is endemic to east Gondwana, and other phyllolepids are widespread in the Givetian and younger of Gondwana (Australia, Antarctica, Turkey, Venezuela), but do not occur until Late Devonian (Famennian) time in the Northern Hemisphere (Europe, Russia, Greenland, North America). The disjunct space–time distribution of the Phyllolepida is inconsistent with palaeomagnetic evidence indicating a wide equatorial ocean between Gondwana and Laurussia in Late Devonian time. This new species provides additional evidence supporting a Gondwana origin for the group, and later access to northern landmasses resulting from closure of the ocean between Gondwana and Laurussia and continental connection at or near the Frasnian–Famennian boundary.

The southern margin of the North Australian Craton (NAC) has been suggested to represent a long-lived (c. 1860 to 1600 Ma) active margin that preserves a cryptic record of the growth and assembly of the Australian continent. The Warumpi Province is juxtaposed against the southern Aileron Province, and has been interpreted as exotic to the NAC, though the timing of collision between the Warumpi Province and the southern Aileron Province is contentious. U-Pb zircon and monazite LA-ICP-MS geochronology from granulite facies metapelites and granitic gneisses along the southern margin of the Aileron Province and northern margin of the Warumpi Province, has shown it is characterised by c. 1780-1740 Ma magmatic rocks and c. 1640-1615 Ma magmatic and metamorphic rocks. The evidence for these events is preserved in kilometre-scale migmatitic boudins and low-strain zones enveloped by pervasive E-W trending higher strain belts. The overprinting high strain fabrics are Grenvillian age and constrained to c. 1175-1070 Ma. Phase equilibria modelling on a garnet-sillimanite-cordierite metapelite dated at c.1616 Ma, from a low-strain domain within the southern Aileron Province, indicates that peak metamorphic conditions were ~7-8 kbar and between 740-900 °C, and were associated with a down-pressure or decompressional P-T history. A metamorphic monazite age of c.1620 Ma was also preserved in a granitic gneiss located in an older, low-strain domain. The presence of the c. 1760 Ma and c. 1640 Ma timelines in both the Warumpi and Aileron Provinces calls into question the proposed exotic nature of the Warumpi Province. A speculative interpretation is that the Liebig-aged metamorphism and magmatism, seemingly associated with relatively shallow orientated, low strain fabrics, represents a period of extension rather than collision.

Abstract:
The tectonic evolution of the cratonic elements of Proterozoic Australia has been debated for over 20 years. There is a growing view that plate margin processes were involved in the tectonic evolution and growth of the pre-Cryogenian elements of Australia, however the timing, nature and configuration of cratonic amalgamation remains contentious. This study investigates the metamorphic, geochronological and isotopic evolution of key or debated areas of Proterozoic Australia, focusing on the proposed southern margin of the Archean to Paleoproterozoic North Australian Craton (NAC) in the Arunta Region, and eastern margin of the Archean to Paleoproterozoic West Australian Craton (WAC) in the Rudall Province. The overall aim of this study is to provide new constraints on Proterozoic tectonism in the Arunta Region and Rudall Province in order to better understand the timing and nature of Proterozoic Australia assembly. In the southern Aileron Province (Arunta Region), the Mount Hay area and Adla Domain occur close to the proposed Paleoproterozoic southern margin of the NAC. Pressure– temperature (P–T) constraints indicate the attainment of peak metamorphic conditions of ~8–10 kbar, ~850−900 °C for Mount Hay and the adjacent Capricorn Ridge, and ~7–10 kbar, ~850−900 °C for the Adla Domain fabrics. The granulite facies metamorphism postdates a period of extensive basin development in the Arunta Region between c. 1805−1780 Ma. This basin development was associated with magmatism and localised high temperature–low pressure (HTLP) metamorphism. Hf isotopic data on late Paleoproterozoic granitoids (c. 1650–1625 Ma) from the Aileron Province have isotopic compositions close to CHUR (ɛHf -6.2 to +1.5) and crustal model ages between 2200–2700 Ma. The granitoids are broadly contemporaneous with the c. 1640–1635 Ma Liebig Orogeny in the Warumpi Province, which involved coeval mafic magmatism, suggesting at least some component of extension. The Paleoproterozoic tectonic evolution of the Arunta Region (southern NAC) is considered to have involved a long-lived (>150 Ma) margin with an overall extensional character punctuated by comparatively localised and short lived periods of thickening. In the central Aileron Province, the tectonothermal evolution of the Anmatjira Range Province has been debated considerably over the last 20 years. The timing and metamorphic evolution of the Anmatjira Range was investigated using monazite U–Pb geochronology and P–T pseudosections calculated for high temperature granulite facies metapelites in the southeastern Anmatjira Range. Estimated peak conditions of ~870–920 °C and ~6.5–7.2 kbar were attained at c. 1580–1555 Ma, followed by a clockwise retrograde evolution. In the absence of concurrent magmatism, and lack of evidence of decompression from high-P conditions, the most probable driver for this metamorphism is heating largely driven by high-heat production from older granites (c. 1820–1760 Ma) in the region. To the west, the Rudall Province (eastern WAC) is one of the few localities of Proterozoic, Barrovian-style metamorphism in Australia. In several previous studies, the Rudall Province has been considered to record the collision of the WAC and NAC during the Yapungku Orogeny at c. 1780 Ma. However, prior to this study, medium-P assemblages interpreted to have grown during the Yapunkgu Orogeny (inferred thermal gradients of minimum ~60–80 °C/kbar) had not been directly age-constrained. Monazite age data on metasedimentary rocks from both medium-P and high temperature–low pressure (HTLP) assemblages, and zircon U–Pb age data from a medium-P, garnet-diopside bearing mafic amphibolite yield age populations between c. 1380 and 1275 Ma, with one monazite age population of c. 1665 Ma. No evidence for older c. 1780 Ma metamorphism was found in this study. The large age population range of c. 1380– 1275 Ma yielded in this study may be a response of a stage-wise tectonic evolution, involving the accretion of ribbons. If the Yapunkgu Orogeny does reflect the collision between the WAC and NAC, it most likely did not occur until the Mesoproterozoic, contemporaneous with initial breakup stages of supercontinent Nuna. The overall results of this work support a long-lived, retreating margin on the southern NAC during the late Paleoproterozoic, prior to the assembly of cratonic Australia in the Mesoproterozoic. The proposed Mesoproterozoic assembly negates the need for Australian cratons to be in close proximity in supercontinent Nuna reconstructions.

Abstract:
Abstract The Kalgoorlie gold camp in the Yilgarn craton of Western Australia comprises the supergiant Golden Mile and the smaller Mt. Charlotte, Mt. Percy, and Hidden Secret deposits. Since the camp’s discovery in 1893, ~1,950 metric tons (t) of Au have been produced from a total estimated endowment of ~2,300 t. The camp is located within Neoarchean rocks of the Kalgoorlie terrane, within the Eastern Goldfields superterrane of the eastern Yilgarn craton. Gold mineralization is distributed along an 8- × 2-km, NNW-trending corridor, which corresponds to the Boulder Lefroy-Golden Mile fault system. The host stratigraphic sequence, dated at ca. 2710 to 2660 Ma, comprises lower ultramafic and mafic lava flow rocks, and upper felsic to intermediate volcaniclastic, epiclastic, and lava flow rocks intruded by highly differentiated dolerite sills such as the ca. 2685 Ma Golden Mile Dolerite. Multiple sets of NNW-trending, steeply dipping porphyry dikes intruded this sequence from ca. 2675 to 2640 Ma. From ca. 2685 to 2640 Ma, rocks of the Kalgoorlie gold camp were subjected to multiple deformation increments and metamorphism. Early D1 deformation from ca. 2685 to 2675 Ma generated the Golden Mile fault and F1 folds. Prolonged sinistral transpression from ca. 2675 to 2655 Ma produced overprinting, NNW-trending sets of D2-D3 folds and faults. The last deformation stage (D4; < ca. 2650 Ma) is recorded by N- to NNE-trending, dextral faults which offset earlier structures. The main mineralization type in the Golden Mile comprises Fimiston lodes: steeply dipping, WNW- to NNW-striking, gold- and telluride-bearing carbonate-quartz veins with banded, colloform, and crustiform textures surrounded by sericite-carbonate-quartz-pyrite-telluride alteration zones. These lodes were emplaced during the earlier stages of regional sinistral transpression (D2) as Riedel shear-type structures. During a later stage of regional sinistral transpression (D3), exceptionally high grade Oroya-type mineralization developed as shallowly plunging ore shoots with “Green Leader” quartz-sericite-carbonate-pyrite-telluride alteration typified by vanadium-bearing muscovite. In the Hidden Secret orebody, ~3 km north-northwest of the Golden Mile, lode mineralization is a silver-rich variety characterized by increased abundance of hessite and petzite and decreased abundance of calaverite. At the adjacent Mt. Charlotte deposit, the gold-, silver-, and telluride-bearing lodes become subordinate to the Mt. Charlotte-type stockwork veins. The stockwork veins occur as planar, 2- to 50-cm thick, auriferous quartz-carbonate-sulfide veins that define steeply NW- to SE-dipping and shallowly N-dipping sets broadly coeval with D4 deformation. Despite extensive research, there is no consensus on critical features of ore formation in the camp. Models suggest either (1) distinct periods of mineralization over a protracted, ca. 2.68 to 2.64 Ga orogenic history; or (2) broadly synchronous formation of the different types of mineralization at ca. 2.64 Ga. The nature of fluids, metal sources, and mineralizing processes remain debated, with both metamorphic and magmatic models proposed. There is strong evidence for multiple gold mineralization events over the course of the ca. 2.68 to 2.64 orogenic window, differing in genesis and contributions from either magmatic or metamorphic ore-forming processes. However, reconciling these models with field relationships and available geochemical and geochronological constraints remains difficult and is the subject of ongoing research.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Neoproterozoic to Cambrian isolation of Laurentia during the breakup of Rodinia was associated with multiple large igneous provinces, protracted multiphase rifting, and variable subsidence histories along different margin segments. In this contribution, we develop a paleogeographic model for the Neoproterozoic tectonic evolution of Laurentia based on available stratigraphic, paleomagnetic, petrologic, geochronologic, and thermochronologic data. Early Tonian strata are confined to intracontinental basins in northern Laurentia. Breakup of Rodinia around Laurentia began in earnest with emplacement of the ca. 778 Ma Gunbarrel large igneous province, interpreted to have accompanied separation of the North China block along the Yukon promontory, and onset of localized, intracratonic extension southward along the western margin. Eruption of the ca. 760–740 Ma Mount Rogers volcanic complex along the Southern Appalachian segment of the eastern margin may record extension associated with separation of the Kalahari or South American terranes. At about the same time, the Australia-Mawson blocks began separating from the Sonoran segment of the southern margin and Mojave promontory. Emplacement of the ca. 720 Ma Franklin large igneous province along the northern margin was likely associated with separation of Siberia and was followed by widespread bimodal volcanism and extension along the western margin spanning ca. 720–670 Ma, leading to partial separation of continental fragments, possibly including Tasmania, Zealandia, and Tarim. Emplacement of the ca. 615 Ma Central Iapetus magmatic province along the eastern margin marked rifting that led to separation of Baltica and Amazonia, and partial separation of the Arequipa-Pampia-Antofalla fragments. During the late Ediacaran to Cambrian, the western, northern, eastern, and southern margins all experienced a second episode of local extension and mafic magmatism, including emplacement of the ca. 585 Ma Grenville dikes and ca. 540–532 Ma Wichita large igneous province, leading to final separation of continental fragments and Cambrian rift-drift transitions on each margin. Cryogenian rifting on the western and northern margins and segments of the eastern margin was contemporaneous with low-latitude glaciation. Sturtian and Marinoan glacial deposits and their distinctive ca. 660 Ma and 635 Ma cap carbonates provide important event horizons that are correlated around the western and northern margins. Evidence for Ediacaran glaciation is absent on Laurentia, with the exception of glacial deposits in Scotland, and putative glacial deposits in Virginia, which both formed on the poleward edge of Laurentia. Patterns of exhumation and deposition on the craton display spatial variability, likely controlled by the impingement of mantle plumes associated with mantle upwelling and extensional basin formation during the piecemeal breakup of Rodinia. Glaciation and eustasy were secondary drivers for the distribution of erosion and Neoproterozoic sedimentation on North America.
