Robertson, B. D. "The geology, petrology and geochemistry of the volcanics in the Kokatha Region, Gawler Ranges, South Australia." Thesis, 1989. http://hdl.handle.net/2440/128628.
Full textVolcanics in the Kokatha region present a wider range of rock types than in other areas of the Gawler Ranges. High temperature Mg rich basalt flows through to rhyolite ignimbrites and air fall tuffs outcrop. Two magmatic cycles are observed with a cycle consisting of initial basalts, followed by voluminous dacites and rhyodacites. The final phase of the cycle following the rhydacites represents a period of more explosive activity resulting in the deposition of rhyolitic ignimbrites, air fall tuffs rhyolitic flows and pyroclastics. Geochemical data indicate both fractionation and mixing of fractionated components were active igneous processes resulting in the formation of layered magma chambers. The layering of the magma chambers being well illustrated in the stratigraphy of the volcanic pile. Further evidence for cyclic fractionation trends exists, with a relative depletion of incompatible elements in the second cycle when compared to the first cycle. Discrimination diagrams plot the rocks from Kokatha in the calc-alkaline field. Calc-alkaline series usually indicate subduction processes however volcanism at Kokatha is intracratonic. Rb-Sr data give an isochron age of 1588.4 ± 14 Ma suggesting the rocks from Kokatha are a part of the lower sequence of the Gawler Range Volcanics. Samples from both cycles produce the isochron indicating a melt from a homogeneous source. Neodymium data suggest a basaltic input from the mantle assimilating with lower crust is a likely source. A possible tectonic model for volcanism is presented. Initially a flux of mantle-derived basalt enters the lower crust. This provides heat for large scale melting. Assimilation of lower crustal melts and mantle-derived basalts may or may not occur however a homogeneous source is formed. Diapirism resulting in upper crustal magma chambers allows the formation of a layered magma chamber. Eruption of the magma results in the stratigraphic sequence of volcanic rock units.

"The Mount Lofty Ranges and flanking St Vincent and Western Murray Basins preserve a rich record of Australian intraplate neotectonic movements and their effects of landscape evolution and sedimentary basin development in this region of South Australia." "The major goal of this study is to develop a new tectonic model that contributes to our fundamental understanding of how neotectonic motions and deformations operate within this sector of the southern Australian Earth crust. The other main aim of this thesis is to provide a better understanding of the effects those neotectonic movements imposed on landscape evolution and sedimentation." --Introd.

Meredith, K. "Geological history of the Waukarie Creek canyon complex, southern Flinders Ranges, South Australia." Thesis, 1997. http://hdl.handle.net/2440/131148.
Full textMany regional disconformities or 'sequence boundaries' have now been identified throughout the late Proterozoic Wilpena sediments of the Adelaide Geosyncline, South Australia. The most prominent of these appears near the base of the Wonoka Formation and has been related to the formation of incised valleys or 'canyons'. Early interpretations of these canyons suggested they were of submarine origin, cut and filled in a deepwater environment. However, more recent work has focused on a subaerial model whereby the incisions were cut fluvially. Work was carried out on the Waukarie Creek Canyon Complex in the Southern Flinders Ranges. Observations gained from field mapping tend to favour a subaerial origin for canyon development. Some localities were found that provide evidence that there was some tectonic activity, expressed by deformation of sediments, prior to the formation of the Wonoka canyons. Palaeocurrents from flute casts and current ripples show that numerous reversals were found throughout the canyon, substantiating a tectonic influence on the formation of the canyons. This activity may be approximately coeval with the Beardmore Orogeny of Antarctica. The compressional Cambro-Ordovician Delamerian Orogeny subsequently deformed the sedimentary prism in a complex array of north-south trending tight folds and reverse faults.

Pointon, V. J. "Structure and thermochronology of an E-W profile through the Mount Painter Province, Northern Flinders Ranges, South Australia: is this a southern example of deformation and exhumation driven by the Alice Springs Orogeny?" Thesis, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/2440/88635.
Full textThe Mount Painter Province in the Northern Flinders Ranges, South Australia is composed of Palaeoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic basement overlain by 7-12 kilometres of Neoproterozoic to Cambrian sedimentary rocks and is associated with high lateral geothermal gradients. During the Early Paleozoic, deformation and metamorphism reached greenschist to amphibolite facies during the ~500 Ma Delamerian Orogeny. This study focuses on the subsequent thermal history of the area by studying an E-W profile through the Mount Painter Province using the widely used techniques of structural mapping, micro-structural analysis and 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology to characterise and date deformation and cooling (as a proxy for exhumation). The E-W trending profile, known as the Hamilton Fault, is south dipping oblique slip with a normal and dextral component overprinted by younger brittle structures and brecciation which is seen in the structural and micro-structural analysis.. It is proposed to have a very active past and there is evidence of movement in the Adelaidean due to an apparent formation offset of ~600 m. The regional context of the Hamilton Fault having a dextral and normal component suggests an ε3 uplift, an ε2 extension SW to NE and ε1 NW-SE shortening. This is similar in character to the N-S shortening which is seen in the Alice Springs Orogeny (ASO). Results from the 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology show the basement metasedimentary rocks have cooling ages of around ~350 Ma between 300 to 400 °C and 312 Ma at 150 °C. Interestingly, the younger Adelaidean metasedimentary rocks have an older cooling age of 390 Ma between 300 to 400 °C. The thermochronology data suggests differential cooling has occurred. The observations suggest that exhumation is driven following the Delamerian folding event and forced the earlier cooling of shallower samples at a slower rate and later cooling of the deeper samples at a faster rate, a process caused by differential tilting. The cooling paths are well represented in this example as shown by converging cooling paths. Overall I attribute this subsequent thermal history and structural similarity to the ASO, a major widespread dramatic orogenic event which has not been widely recognized as a significant tectonic event in the Adelaide Fold Belt.
