Abstract:
The age of stratigraphic units within the Neoproterozoic of the Centralian Super-Basin caii be constrained by using major sequence bounding unconformities. The Officer Basin is redefined to include the Yeneena, Karara, and Savory Basins.Correlation of structural and stratigraphic relationships apparent in surface geological maps to seismic and borehole data leads to the conclusion that the Petermann Ranges Orogeny and the Paterson Orogeny are the same event. The name Petermann Ranges Orogeny has been used extensively in the Centralian Super-basin. It is considered for this publication, to be correlated with and hence to replace the term 'Paterson Orogeny'. This Tectonic event occurred at 540 to 570 Ma and postdated deposition of the Boondawari, Lupton, Pertatataka and Julie Formations and Rodda Beds. These Formations are correlated as part of the same depositional episode; which is separated from the younger Babbagoola Formation and lateral equivalents by a regional unconformity resulting from the Petermann Ranges Orogeny. The Babbagoola Formation is correlated with the Tchukardine and McFadden Formations of the Savory Sub-basin and the Relief Sandstone of the eastern Officer Basin.The Petermann Ranges Orogeny produced a central uplift which includes the Rudall and Musgrave Complexes, forming the north-eastern boundary of the Officer Basin. The Musgrave Complex advanced further south in comparison to the Rudall Complex, with accommodation along numerous north and northeast trending faults. Initial movement along these faults probably started as early as Cambrian and was repeatedly reactivated till post Miocene.Extensive reverse faulting, folding and initiation of diapiric movement of the Upper Proterozoic section began in late Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian. Reactivation of diapiric movement and folding occurred after and before extrusion of the Table Hill Volcanics. Salt movement continued during the post-Permian and post-Early Cretaceous periods. The evolution of salt structures in the basin from Neoproterozoic to post-Cretaceous provides many different aged traps for migrating hydrocarbons.

Abstract:
The Neoproterozoic to Late Paleozoic-aged Amadeus Basin is a large (~170 000 km2) east–west-trending basin, bounded to the south by the Musgrave Province and to the north by the Arunta Block of the Northern Territory. Commercial oil and gas production is established in the northern part of the basin but the southern part is still a frontier exploration area. Vintage and new seismic reflection data have been used with well data along the south-eastern Amadeus Basin to construct a new structural and depositional model. Three major phases of deformation controlling deposition have been identified. The first phase is characterised by a SW–NE trending structural fabric and is thought to be older than the deposition of the first sediments identified above basement (Heavitree and Bitter Springs formations). The second phase corresponds to the Petermann Orogeny (580–540 Ma) and trends in a NW–SE orientation. The third phase is the Alice Springs Orogeny (450–300 Ma) and is oriented W–E to WNW–ESE in this part of the basin. This tectono-stratigraphic model involving three distinct phases of deformation potentially explains several critical observations: the lack of Heavitree reservoir at Mt Kitty-1, limited salt movements before the Petermann Orogeny (~300 Ma after its deposition) and salt-involved structures that can be either capped by the Petermann Unconformity and overlying Cambrian to Devonian sediments, or can reach the present day surface. Finally, this model, along with availability of good quality seismic data, opens new perspectives for the hydrocarbon exploration of the Amadeus Basin. Each of the tectonic phases impacts the primary petroleum system and underpins play-based exploration.

Abstract:
Abstract. Geophysical evidence for lower continental crustal earthquakes in almost all collisional orogens is in conflict with the widely accepted notion that rocks, under high grade conditions, should flow rather than fracture. Pseudotachylytes are remnants of frictional melts generated during seismic slip and can therefore be used as an indicator of former seismogenic fault zones. The Fregon Subdomain in Central Australia was deformed under dry sub-eclogitic conditions of 600–700 °C and 1.0–1.2 GPa during the intracontinental Petermann Orogeny (ca. 550 Ma) and contains abundant pseudotachylyte. These pseudotachylytes are commonly foliated, recrystallized, and cross-cut by other pseudotachylytes, reflecting repeated generation during ongoing ductile deformation. This interplay is interpreted as evidence for repeated seismic brittle failure and post- to inter-seismic creep under dry lower-crustal conditions. Thermodynamic modelling of the pseudotachylyte bulk composition gives the same PT conditions of shearing as in surrounding mylonites. We conclude that pseudotachylytes in the Fregon Subdomain are a direct analogue of current seismicity in dry lower continental crust.

Abstract:
Abstract. Thrust fault systems typically distribute shear strain preferentially into the hanging wall rather than the footwall. The Woodroffe Thrust in the Musgrave Block of central Australia is a regional-scale example that does not fit this model. It developed due to intracontinental shortening during the Petermann Orogeny (ca. 560–520 Ma) and is interpreted to be at least 600 km long in its E–W strike direction, with an approximate top-to-north minimum displacement of 60–100 km. The associated mylonite zone is most broadly developed in the footwall. The immediate hanging wall was only marginally involved in the mylonitization process, as can be demonstrated from the contrasting thorium signatures of mylonites derived from the upper amphibolite facies footwall and the granulite facies hanging wall protoliths. Thermal weakening cannot account for such an inverse deformation gradient, as syn-deformational P–T estimates for the Petermann Orogeny in the hanging wall and footwall from the same locality are very similar. The distribution of pseudotachylytes, which acted as preferred nucleation sites for shear deformation, also cannot provide an explanation, since these fault rocks are especially prevalent in the immediate hanging wall. The most likely reason for the inverted deformation gradient across the Woodroffe Thrust is water-assisted weakening due to the increased, but still limited, presence of aqueous fluids in the footwall. We also establish a qualitative increase in the abundance of fluids in the footwall along an approx. 60 km long section in the direction of thrusting, together with a slight decrease in the temperature of mylonitization (ca. 100 °C). These changes in ambient conditions are accompanied by a 6-fold decrease in thickness (from ca. 600 to 100 m) of the Woodroffe Thrust mylonitic zone.

Full text
Abstract:
The intracratonic Officer Basin of central Australia was formed during the Neoproterozoic, approximately 820 m.y. ago. The eastern third of the Officer Basin is in South Australia and contains nine unconformity-bounded sequence sets (super-sequences), from Neoproterozoic to Tertiary in age. Burial history is interpreted from a series of diagrams generated from well data in structurally diverse settings. These enable comparison between the stable shelf and co-existing deep troughs. During the Neoproterozoic, subsidence in the north (Munyarai Trough) was much higher than in either the south (Giles area) or northeast (Manya Trough). This subsidence was related to tectonic as well as sediment loading. During the Cambrian, subsidence was much higher in the northeast and was probably due to tectonic and sediment loading (carbonates over siliciclastics). During the Early Ordovician, subsidence in the north created more accommodation space for the last marine transgression from the northeast. The high subsidence rate of Late Devonian rocks in the Munyarai Trough was probably related to rapid deposition of fine-grained siliciclastic sediments prior to the Alice Springs Orogeny. Rates of subsidence were very low during the Early Permian and Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, probably due to sediment loading rather than tectonic sinking. Potential Neoproterozoic source rocks were buried enough to reach initial maturity at the time of the terminal Proterozoic Petermann Ranges Orogeny. Early Cambrian potential source rocks in the Manya Trough were initially mature prior to the Delamerian Orogeny (Middle Cambrian) and fully mature on the Murnaroo Platform at the culmination of the Alice Springs Orogeny (Devonian).

The Ediacaran to Cambrian (600-500 Ma) intraplate Petermann Orogeny significantly affected the crustal architecture of Central Australia, resulting in the exhumation of the Musgrave Province from beneath the Centralian Superbasin. In the western Musgrave Province response to intensive deformation is variable, with pervasive mylonitic reworking and localised migmitisation in the western Mann Ranges, and discrete mylonitisation in the eastern Mann Ranges. The duration of this period of intraplate orogenesis is a currently debated topic. Ti-in-zircon thermometry coupled with SHRIMP U-Pb zircon geochronology indicate that peak temperatures of 733±23°C in the western Mann Ranges occurred at circa 540 Ma. Combined diffusion-cooling modelling, U-Pb rutile and titanite isotopic data and calculated phase equilibria of recrystallised metagranites from the Cockburn Shear Zone and kyanite-bearing mylonites from the Mt. Charles Thrust indicate exhumation driven cooling from peak P-T conditions of 12-14 kbars and 700-750°C to 6-7 kbars and 550-600°C at c. 500 Ma occurred at a rate of 3.75-5.6°C/ My. These results indicate a slow-cooling and long-lived thermal regime and additionally suggests that final exhumation of the Musgrave Province had not occurred by c. 500 Ma, much younger than previously estimated. These findings suggest that granulite-facies metamorphism in the Musgrave Province was regional and that other factors such as fluid, control the variations in style of structural reworking. This study lends support to the notion that the intraplate Petermann Orogeny was long-lived and does not advocate short-lived orogenesis or the theory that shear heating is the driving force for metamorphism.
