Full textThe eastern Willouran Ranges and northern Flinders Ranges, South Australia contain Neoproterozoic and Cambrian outcrop exposures of diapiric breccia contained in salt diapirs, salt sheets and associated growth strata that provide a natural laboratory for testing and refining models of salt-sediment interaction, specifically allochthonous salt initiation and emplacement and halokinetic deformation. Allochthonous salt, which is defined as a sheet-like diapir of mobile evaporite emplaced at younger stratigraphic levels above the autochthonous source, is emplaced due to the interplay between the rate of salt supply to the front of the sheet and the sediment-accumulation rate, and may be flanked by low- to high-angle stratal truncations to halokinetic folds. Halokinetic sequences (HS) are localized (<1000 m) unconformity-bound successions of growth strata adjacent to salt diapirs that form as drape folds due to the interplay between salt rise rate (R) and sediment accumulation rate (A). HS stack to form tabular and tapered composite halokinetic sequences (CHS), which have narrow and broad zones of thinning, respectively. The concepts of CHS formation are derived from outcrops in shallow water to subaerial depositional environments in La Popa Basin, Mexico and the Flinders Ranges, South Australia. Current models for allochthonous salt emplacement, including surficial glacial flow, advance above subsalt shear zones and emplacement along tip thrusts, do not address how salt transitions from steep feeders to low-angle sheets and the model for the formation of halokinetic sequences has yet to be fully applied or tested in a deepwater setting. Thus, this study integrates field data from South Australia with subsurface data from the northern Gulf of Mexico to test the following: (1) current models of allochthonous salt advance and subsalt deformation using structural analysis of stratal truncations adjacent to outcropping salt bodies, with a focus on the transition from steep diapirs to shallow salt sheets in South Australia; and (2) the outcrop-based halokinetic sequence model using seismic and well data from the Auger diapir, located in the deepwater northern Gulf of Mexico. Structural analysis of strata flanking steep diapirs and allochthonous salt in South Australia reveals the transition from steep diapirs to shallowly-dipping salt sheets to be abrupt and involves piston-like breakthrough of roof strata, freeing up salt to flow laterally. Two models explain this transition: 1) salt-top breakout, where salt rise occurs inboard of the salt flank, thereby preserving part of the roof beneath the sheet; and 2) salt-edge breakout, where rise occurs at the edge of the diapir with no roof preservation. Shear zones, fractured or mixed `rubble zones' and thrust imbricates are absent in strata beneath allochthonous salt and adjacent to steep diapirs. Rather, halokinetic drape folds, truncated roof strata and low- and high-angle bedding intersections are among the variety of stratal truncations adjacent to salt bodies in South Australia. Interpretation and analysis of subsurface data around the Auger diapir reveals similar CHS geometries, stacking patterns and ratios of salt rise and sediment accumulation rates, all of which generally corroborate the halokinetic sequence model. The results of this study have important implications for salt-sediment interaction, but are also critical to understanding and predicting combined structural-stratigraphic trap geometry, reservoir prediction and hydrocarbon containment in diapir-flank settings.

Full textPrevious investigations into the Ediacara Member of the late Proterozoic Rawnsley Quartzite in the Flinders Ranges have produced differing interpretations of the depositional environment. Studies at Nilpena Hills indicate that deposition was influenced by back barrier lagoonal conditions with the intermittent influx of fluidised sands which mantled lagoonal muds. Re-interpretation of the Ediacara assemblage shows a hitherto unrecognised benthonic bias. This abundance of sessile, benthonic forms supports a sub-tidal depositional environment. However, the increase in the numbers of motile forms compared with sessile forms, preserved towards the top of the member, accords well with one of two inferred shallowing upward cycles within the sequence. A recent re-evaluation of the nature of the Precambrian-Cambrian boundary in the Flinders Ranges suggests a conformable relationship between the Pound Subgroup and the overlying Early Cambrian beds. This is at odds with previous interpretations, which proposed that a regional disconformity occurs at the boundary. Mapping at Mt. Scott Range, Puttapa Syncline and Red Range provided ample evidence that several periods of at least partial lithification occurred within the Pound Subgroup, before the onset of Cambrian deposition. Erosive downcutting marks the contact of the Pound Subgroup-Uratanna Formation at Mt. Scott Range, Red Range and Puttapa Syncline. Erosive downcutting of the Parachilna Formation into the Uratanna Formation was mapped at Mt. Scott Range. The Pound Subgroup-Parachilna Formation contact was mapped as a disconformity which becomes a high angle unconformity near the Beltana Diapir.

Full textThis study creates three regolith-landform maps of the Paralana Creek catchment on the north-eastern margin of the Flinders Ranges using three readily available remotely sensed data types: a 2D digital elevation model, an airborne gamma ray radiometric response image, and a QuickBird satellite image, each method providing data about different aspects of the landscape. The regolith-landform map based on the digital elevation model provided an overview of the major landforms, with a basic understanding of the regolith and landform types. The regolith-landform map based on the airborne radiometric image provided data about the concentration and distribution of radioelements within the landscape, as well as a basic understanding of regolith and landform types and processes within the study area. The regolith-landform map based on the QuickBird image provided the most data about the regolith-landform units of the area, as well as current and previous landscape processes and evolution. Using these remote sensing methods this study created three regolith-landform maps, as well as identifying regolith-landform units, how landforms affect regolith type, distribution and succession, along with radioelement composition, transport and distribution within the study area. Map interpretation used the understanding of the landscape gained from all three maps in combination.

Full textThe lowermost Adelaidean sequences exposed to the immediate north of Arkaroola are unusual as they exhibit a localised complexity of deformation and elevated metamorphic grade that is not observed elsewhere in the Adelaide Fold Belt. Deformation and metamorphism in Arkaroola is thought to have formed as part of the Delamerian Orogen approximately 515-490 Ma. The timing of deformation and metamorphism however is poorly constrained in this area. This paper aims to discuss the structural and metamorphic conditions in the area to determine if there was a possibility of a pre or post-Delamerian structural and/or thermal event. A section was mapped to the North-East of the Arkaroola Homestead to gain an insight into the structural and metamorphic conditions of the area. Samples were collected from the field and used for microstructural analysis. An Electron Microprobe, Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer and an XRF spectrometer were used for geochemical analysis on the samples. Structural and stratigraphic observations combined with microstructural analysis of samples from the field helped the author create an interpreted geological history of the area. Graben formation accommodated an initial period of sediment deposition followed by basalt extrusion. Several phases of localised rifting and deposition followed this initial deposition period due to changing fault geometries. A mineral fabric that occurs parallel to bedding is seen throughout the study area. This fabric is overgrown and included in prominent cordierite porphyroblasts that formed during peak metamorphism of ≥500 °C at a pressure of approximately ~1.30kbars. These pressure and temperature conditions were primarily due to the burial beneath a thick cover of sediments. A number of faults trending in a NE-SW direction have been identified as splays from the Paralana fault system. The strike-slip movement of the Paralana Fault along with the high heat producing basement of the Mount Painter Inlier has controlled the localised structural complexity and elevated metamorphic grade in the Arkaroola area.

Full textThe widespread shrub species Eremophila freelingii, of inland Australia, has successfully expressed elevated U contents in both leaf and twig samples at workings of known mineralisation in the Mt. Painter region, South Australia. Leaf material produced reasonable contrast in U concentrations and good success rate at expressing buried mineralisation with approximately 75 of all samples returning a U concentration greater than or equal to analytical detection limit (DL). A comparison of leaf with twig material from E. freelingii makes this study unique. Elements generally occur in higher concentration in twig tissues than leaves, although twigs have a greater tendency to host detrital (dust) inputs. The highest U concentration came from the high-grade historic Hodgkinson U-prospect (0.25% U3O8). Overall leaves contained 0.05 – 0.24 ppm U and twigs contained 0.08 – 0.41 ppm U (1.04-5.86 times higher). Twigs also hosted Re up to 266 times the DL when leaves produced values below the DL. Re elevations in leaf tissue is characteristic of the intrusive granites; Pinnacles and Needles. Beryllium is also unique to Hodgkinson and the Pinnacles and Needles sites. A few traditional U pathfinder elements have an association with U in plant tissues including; Y, Ce, La on a regional scale, and more exclusively at Four Mile West. Other elements; Li and Be displayed associations with U in twigs limited to the Hodgkinson prospect. Mineralisation in the Four Mile West sequence occurs in the Eyre Formation (Four Mile U-prospect) and in the Namba Formation (Beverley U deposit). E. freelingii displays elevations in U situated over these units at concentrations above the regional biogeochemical average. Other popular commodities, Au and Ag, were present in low concentrations and returned values ≥ DL in 25.3% and 57.8% of all samples respectively. The Four Mile West sequence hosts the highest Au concentrations, while the hematite breccias host the elevated Ag results. Elevated Zn concentrations are also characteristic of the hematite breccias. Copper showed high variation (3.12 – 32.02 ppm) in all samples but these results do not appear to be closely associated with geological setting. The wide range of element accumulation E. freelingii is able to display would stimulate further research with this species in biogeochemical exploration.
