Abstract:

The Donkey Bore Syncline in the Northern Flinders Ranges of South Australia contains a generally finegrained deepwater succession of Early Cambrian age (Bunkers Sandstone) that outcrops on three sides of a syncline and flanks an active salt diapir to the east (Wirrealpa Diapir). Within the succession lies a basal sand-prone interval interpreted as a basin floor fan (BFF) ponded within a mini-basin on a topographically complex slope.The BFF comprises over 30 m of section with deposits that are dominantly massive clean sandstone beds (0.1– 3 m thick) that are stacked or interbedded with siltstones and pinch out along strike.Eight stratigraphic sections and accompanying spectral gamma ray logs (using a hand held scintillometer) were measured through the BFF. Using spectral gamma ray log analysis combined with stratigraphic logs, four alternative correlation panels were constructed.Quantitative analysis of sand-prone intervals interpreted in each of the panels provided data on the vertical and horizontal connectivity within the BFF as different correlation methods were explored and the geological model improved. Quantitative analysis of vertical and horizontal connectivity values indicates a high degree of heterogeneity within the BFF, with poor–moderate vertical connectivity, with individual beds rarely correlating >500 m along strike. This heterogeneity is poorly resolved using conventional wireline log suites, but is greatly improved if spectral gamma ray logs are used (especially Thorium).The data set provides a high-resolution analogue for understanding the internal architecture of deepwater hydrocarbon reservoirs.

Abstract:

We describe, as a new species, the northern Flinders Ranges populations of the myobatrachid frog Crinia riparia. It isdistinguished from C. riparia sensu stricto on the basis of reciprocal monophyly of mitochondrial genes, absence ofhaplotype sharing in a nuclear gene, fixed differences in allozyme loci and differences in larval oral disc morphologyconsistent with less adaptation to stream habitats. We were not able to reliably distinguish the taxa on the basis of adultmorphology. The geographic range of C. riparia sensu stricto is now reduced to a 75 kilometre section of the southernFlinders Ranges from Napperby Gorge in the south to Mt Brown in the north suggesting that an assessment of its conservation status is warranted.

Abstract:

AbstractA low-cost differential image motion monitor (DIMM), consisting of an 11-inch Celestron, an SBIG ST-4 autoguiding CCD camera and a PC, is described. Two such systems were used during June–July and November–December 1993 to make near-simultaneous seeing measurements at Freeling Heights in the Northern Flinders Ranges and at Siding Spring Observatory. The results of these campaigns show that the seeing-distribution is generally similar at both sites, with the most common seeing value being ~l·2″. Siding Spring does, however, have slightly more bad seeing (>2″) than Freeling Heights. Weather records from Arkaroola Resort (15 km south of Freeling Heights) indicate that there is ~15% less cloud cover at Freeling Heights than at Siding Spring. Episodes of rapid seeing deterioration at Siding Spring in winter are shown to coincide with warm air masses crossing the mountain.

Full text

Abstract:

Specimens of Prostanthera spinosa F. Muell. representing the geographic range of the taxon were examined for morphological and genetic variation within the species. Patterns of morphological variation were documented and the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) DNA fingerprinting technique was used to assess the genetic relationships among plants from different populations. Morphological and molecular results were in broad agreement and supported distinct groups in both analyses. The differences detected warrant taxonomic recognition and three species are described representing geographically disjunct regions. Plants from the Grampians in Victoria, Eyre Peninsula, Flinders Ranges and Kangaroo Island in South Australia, group together and retain the name P. spinosa; plants from Mt Arapiles in Victoria are distinct and are recognised as a new species P. arapilensis; plants from the Fortis Creek National Park and adjacent areas in northern New South Wales are distinct and are identified as a new species, P. sejuncta.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper is a summary and overview of the National Rock-wallaby Symposium held in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia in November/December 1994. Whilst no rock-wallaby taxon of full specific rank is critically endangered, many distinct populations are at immediate risk of extinction. In particular, there is a strong north-south gradient in the conservation status of rock-wallabies. Southern taxa are more threatened than northern taxa, and within species, southern populations are more threatened than northern ones. A clear agenda for future research emerged. Much of this agenda can usefully be placed in the "declining population paradigm" recently identified by Caughley (1994). The threatening process most clearly indicated is predation by foxes, but whether this applies to rock-wallaby populations throughout Australia needs to be determined. Until it is, any manipulations of predation pressure should be treated as experiments. To measure the success of such manipulations, improved methods of population monitoring must be developed. Finally, the level of knowledge about rock-wallabies must be improved, both at the broad scale of taxonomy and distribution, and at the fine scale of detailed studies of the ecology and behaviour of particular populations.

Abstract:

Adaptation in the diet of captive-bred yellow-footed rock-wallabies (Petrogale xanthopus xanthopus) was assessed following their release into Aroona Dam Sanctuary within the species’ former range in the northern Flinders Ranges. Dietary analysis by means of microscopic examination of fresh faecal pellets was carried out prior to the animals’ release in September 1996 and then at monthly intervals for three months. Concurrently, the diets of animals in the two closest extant colonies of P. x. xanthopus were examined for comparison. Site vegetation and dietary components were classified into five categories: grasses, forbs (herbaceous species), chenopods (both flat- and round-leaved), browse (woody shrubs and trees) and plants with stellate trichomes (including Ptilotus, Solanum, Sida, and Abutilon spp.). Grasses (61%) and forbs (33%) constituted 94% of the diet of the captive-bred animals prior to release. Grass consumption declined to 51% at one month after release, while intake of browse increased from 4% to 13%. Intake of grass and forbs continued to decline over the next three months as seasonal conditions became generally warmer and drier. Plants with stellate trichomes (mainly Sida petrophila and Ptilotus obovatus) appeared in the diet at a frequency well above their relative availability, constituting 20% of the dry-weight dietary intake two months after release. Similar selectivity for plants with stellate trichomes was also found among wild populations at the two occupied sites.

Abstract:

Five new species are described in the genus Yoyetta Moulds, each belonging to the Yoyetta tristrigata (Goding and Froggatt) species group. Yoyetta australicta n. sp. occurs in southern eucalypt woodlands in two separate populations, one extending from the foothills of the Mt Lofty Ranges and southern fringes of Adelaide north to the Flinders Ranges, and the other from Warrumbungle National Park and from Clandulla, near Orange and near Grenfell in New South Wales south to Mt Taylor in the Australian Capital Territory. Yoyetta corindi n. sp. has a restricted, coastal and subcoastal warm temperate distribution in north-eastern New South Wales open forest communities between Trustums Hill and Arrawarra, extending inland from south-west of Grafton to Tyringham. Yoyetta delicata n. sp. has an inland warm temperate distribution in eucalypt woodland and open forest from near Killarney and west of Warwick in south-east Queensland south to Cassilis and near Wyong in central New South Wales. Yoyetta ignita n. sp. is found from Flinders Peak and Mt Tamborine in south-east Queensland, south along the Great Dividing Range (and inland to Mt Kaputar) in New South Wales, with a disjunct population on the eastern slopes of Mt Ainslie in the Australian Capital Territory. Yoyetta robusta n. sp. is found from the Granite Belt in south-east Queensland south to the Glenn Innes area in northern New South Wales. The new species are all small–medium sized cicadas (15–25 mm body length) with male calling songs that are distinguishable from one another and from other species in the genus. In three of the new species (Y. australicta n. sp., Y. corindi n. sp. and Y. robusta n. sp.), the songs are characterised by sharp, high energy ticks or clicks, produced mainly in flight. Each of these species also produces ticks or clicks, sometimes in combination with a short buzz, while stationary. Of the remaining two species, one (Y. delicata n. sp.) produces a soft, coarse buzzing song while stationary and the other (Y. ignita n. sp.) produces a combination of buzzes and clicks while stationary. A key to species in the Y. tristrigata species group is provided.

Full text

Abstract:

Stomatal parameters (stomatal density, stomatal index and stomatal conductance) have been widely used to study vegetation response to long-term CO2 change, mostly in the Northern Hemisphere. We tested the applicability of the methods and interpretations to Australian desert vegetation, by using Eremophila deserti A.Cunn. (Myoporaceae) leaves. Subfossil samples dated at 7500 years before present and 3700 years before present from Leporillus species (stick-nest rat) middens from the Flinders Ranges were compared with herbarium and modern samples from the area. Stomatal density and stomatal conductance are problematic in their application to this species, probably because of the effect of the moisture regime on epidermal cell size. Stomatal index, which takes some account of independent variations in cell size, did allow the differentiation of long-term trends. In contrast to most other studies, these trends show an increase in stomatal index with increasing CO2, particularly over the last century. From 7500 years before present until about 1950, it is unclear whether CO2 was the most influential among a complex set of factors including different aspects of the moisture regime. In recent decades, the influence of CO2, as demonstrated statistically, accounts for most but not all the observed variation.

Abstract:

Abstract. Terrestrial data spanning the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and deglaciation from the southern Australian region are sparse and limited to discontinuous sedimentological and geomorphological records with relatively large chronological uncertainties. This dearth of records has hindered a critical assessment of the role of the Southern Hemisphere mid-latitude westerly winds on the region's climate during this time period. In this study, two precisely dated speleothem records for Mairs Cave, Flinders Ranges, are presented, providing for the first time a detailed terrestrial hydroclimatic record for the southern Australian drylands during 23–15 ka. Recharge to Mairs Cave is interpreted from the speleothem record by the activation of growth, physical flood layering, and δ18O and δ13C minima. Periods of lowered recharge are indicated by 18O and 13C enrichment, primarily affecting δ18O, argued to be driven by evaporation of shallow soil/epikarst water in this water-limited environment. A hydrological driver is supported by calcite fabric changes. These include the presence of laminae, visible organic colloids, and occasional dissolution features, related to recharge, as well as the presence of sediment bands representing cave floor flooding. A shift to slower-growing, more compact calcite and an absence of lamination is interpreted to represent reduced recharge. The Mairs Cave record indicates that the Flinders Ranges were relatively wet during the LGM and early deglaciation, particularly over the interval 18.9–15.8 ka. This wetter phase ended abruptly with a shift to drier conditions at 15.8 ka. These findings are in agreement with the geomorphic archives for this region, as well as the timing of events in records from the broader Australasian region. The recharge phases identified in the Mairs Cave record are correlated with, but antiphase to, the position of the westerly winds interpreted from marine core MD03-2611, located 550 km south of Mairs Cave in the Murray Canyons region. The implication is that the mid-latitude westerlies are located further south during the period of enhanced recharge in the Mairs Cave record (18.9–16 ka) and conversely are located further north when greater aridity is interpreted in the speleothem record. A further comparison with speleothem records from the northern Australasian region reveals that the availability of tropical moisture is the most likely explanation driving enhanced recharge, with further amplification of recharge occurring during the early half of Heinrich Stadial 1 (HS1), possibly influenced by a more southerly displaced Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). A rapid transition to aridity at 15.8 ka is consistent with a retraction of this tropical moisture source.

Full text

Abstract:

Patterns of variation in the Eucalyptus globulus Labill. complex are reassessed by combining capsule measurements from an earlier study with recent collections, mainly of subspecies globulus. Four groups of populations are apparent and can be ascribed to the four subspecies maidenii, pseudoglobulus, bicostata and globulus. Intergrade populations between the latter three subspecies are widespread and mainly occur in the Otway Ranges and west Gippsland. There is a continuum in capsule morphology between the three-fruited subspecies, pseudoglobulus and bicostata. Subspecies globulus intergrades with these three-fruited intermediates. Three-fruited intergrade populations occuning north and south of the range of core pseudoglobulus can be differentiated and probably represent intergrades between pseudoglobulus and bicostata and between pseudoglobulus and globulus respectively. Reports of bicostata in the Furneaux Group and southern Victoria are thus probably erroneous and result from convergence in capsule morphology. The previously described taxon E. stjohnii (R. T. Bak.) R. T. Bak. is part of the continuum between subspecies pseudoglobulus and bicostata, but closer to pseudoglobulus. Populations phenotypically intermediate between and significantly different from globulus and the three-fruited intergrades are highly variable and occur in western Tasmania, on the northern end of Flinders Island, in the Otway Ranges and in west Gippsland. An isolated population on Rodondo Island is highly variable and has closest affinities to pseudoglobulus despite being within the geographical range of core globulus. The population from King Island is intermediate between the Otway phenotype and core globulus. The climatic regimes of the subspecies are markedly different and most three-fruited and globulus intergrade populations have closer climatic affinities to pseudoglobulus and globulus respectively. Hypotheses relating to the origin of the pattern of variation in E. globulus are discussed.

Abstract:

Robert Bedford (1874–1951), based in the isolated community of Kyancutta in South Australia, was a unique contributor to world geology, specifically in the field of meteorites and fossil archaeocyatha. Born Robert Arthur Buddicom in Shropshire, UK, he was an Oxford graduate who worked as a scientist in Freiberg, Naples, Birmingham and Shrewsbury as well as with the Natural History Museum, Kensington and the Plymouth Museum in the United Kingdom. He was a Fellow of the Geological Society of London, 1899–1910. In 1915, Buddicom changed his surname to Bedford and relocated to South Australia. During the 1920s, Bedford expanded his geological interests with the establishment of a public museum in Kyancutta in 1929. This included material previously collected and stored in the United Kingdom before being sent to Australia. Bedford was very successful in collecting material from the distant Henbury meteorite craters in Australia's Northern Territory, during three separate trips in 1931–1933. He became an authority on meteorites with much Henbury material being sent to the British Museum in London. However, Bedford's work on, and collecting of, meteorites resulted in a serious rift with the South Australian scientific establishment. Bedford is best known amongst geologists for his five taxonomic papers on the superbly preserved lower Cambrian archaeocyath fossils from the Ajax Mine near Beltana in South Australia's Flinders Ranges with field work commencing in about 1932 and extending until World War II. This research, describing thirty new genera and ninety-nine new species, was published in the Memoirs of the Kyancutta Museum, a journal that Bedford personally established and financed in 1934. These papers are regularly referenced today in international research dealing with archaeocyaths.

Abstract:

AbstractAt present, a significant portion of rare-earth elements (REEs) are sourced from weathering profiles. The mineralogy of the protolith plays an important role in controlling the fate of REEs during weathering, as accessory minerals contain the bulk the REE budget in most rocks, and different minerals vary in their susceptibilities to weathering processes. REE supergene deposits (‘adsorption clay deposits’) are associated with deep weathering in tropical environments, which often precludes characterisation of the incipient steps in REE liberation from their host minerals in the protolith. Here we have targeted a weathered REE-enriched lithology from a sub-arid environment undergoing relatively rapid uplift, namely the Yerila Gneiss from the Northern Flinders Ranges, Australia, where regolith was shallow or absent and parent rock material had yet to completely break down. Results from X-ray fluorescence mapping, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), SEM-focussed ion beam milling (FIB-SEM), inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and laser ablation ICP-MS highlight the migration pathways of REEs and associated U and Th from allanite-(Ce) grains that are the main REE host within Yerila Gneiss material. Migration of light REEs and Th away from the allanite-(Ce) grains via radial cracks resulting from allanite-(Ce) metamictisation was interpreted to result from weathering, as Ce is partially present in its tetravalent oxidation state and Th mobility is most easily explained by the involvement of organic ligands. FIB-SEM provides further evidence for the importance of biogenic processes in REE+U/Th mobility and fractionation in uranothorite-associated spheroidal structures associated with the weathering of allanite-(Ce). Organic carbon was also found in association with a xenotime-(Y) grain; in this case, REE liberation is most likely a by-product of biogenic phosphate utilisation. These results highlight that local controls (at mineral interfaces) mediated by biota and/or biogenic organic matter can control the initiation of REE (+Th,U) mobilisation during weathering.

Abstract:

Abstract The recognition of fossiliferous horizons both below and above the classical Ediacara levels of the Flinders Ranges, South Australia, significantly expands the potential of this candidate World Heritage succession. Here we document a small window into the biology and taphonomy of the late Ediacaran seafloor within the new Nilpena Sandstone Member of the Rawnsley Quartzite in Bathtub Gorge, northern Heysen Range. A 1 m2 slab extracted from the gorge, now on permanent display at the South Australian Museum, has a death assemblage dominated by the erniettomorph Phyllozoon hanseni Jenkins and Gehling 1978 and a newly named macroscopic tubular body fossil – Aulozoon soliorum gen. et sp. nov. – on its fine sandstone bed sole. The orientations and juxtaposition of these taxa suggest overprinting of an in situ benthic Phyllozoon community by sand-filled tubes of Aulozoon carried in by a storm wave-base surge. Phyllozoon hanseni is a widespread species that is restricted to the Nilpena Sandstone Member of the Rawnsley Quartzite, whereas Dickinsonia costata ranges from the underlying Ediacara Sandstone Member into the Nilpena Sandstone Member. Fundamental differences in the ways these two vendobiont taxa are constructed and preserved may provide insights into their biology and phylogenetic affinities. In the Nilpena Sandstone Member, D. costata is joined by Dickinsonia rex Jenkins 1992, which appears to be confined to the member, and is here re-described to clarify its taxonomic status and stratigraphic distribution.
