Abstract:
ABSTRACT This study documents the growth of a megaflap along the flank of a passive salt diapir as a result of the long-lived interaction between sedimentation and halokinetic deformation. Megaflaps are nearly vertical to overturned, deep minibasin stratal panels that extend multiple kilometers up steep flanks of salt diapirs or equivalent welds. Recent interest has been sparked by well penetrations of unidentified megaflaps that typically result in economic failure, but their formation is also fundamental to understanding the early history of salt basins. This study represents one of the first systematic characterizations of an exposed megaflap with regards to sub-seismic sedimentologic, stratigraphic, and structural details. The Witchelina diapir is an exposed Neoproterozoic primary passive salt diapir in the eastern Willouran Ranges of South Australia. Flanking minibasin strata of the Top Mount Sandstone, Willawalpa Formation, and Witchelina Quartzite, exposed as an oblique cross section, record the early history of passive diapirism in the Willouran Trough, including a halokinetically drape-folded megaflap. Witchelina diapir offers a unique opportunity to investigate sedimentologic responses to the initiation and evolution of passive salt movement. Using field mapping, stratigraphic sections, petrographic analyses, correlation diagrams, and a quantitative restoration, we document depositional facies, thickness trends, and stratal geometries to interpret depositional environments, sequence stratigraphy, and halokinetic evolution of the Witchelina diapir and flanking minibasins. Top Mount, Willawalpa, and Witchelina strata were deposited in barrier-bar-complex to tidal-flat environments, but temporal and spatial variations in sedimentation and stratigraphic patterns were strongly influenced from the earliest stages by the passively rising Witchelina diapir on both regional (basinwide) and local minibasin scales. The salt-margin geometry was depositionally modified by an early erosional sequence boundary that exposed the Witchelina diapir and formed a salt shoulder, above which strata that eventually became the megaflap were subsequently deposited. This shift in the diapir margin and progressive migration of the depocenter began halokinetic rotation of flanking minibasin strata into a megaflap geometry, documenting a new concept in the understanding of deposition and deformation during passive diapirism in salt basins.

Abstract:
Continental rifts have a significant role in supercontinent breakup and the development of sedimentary basins. The Australian Adelaide Superbasin is one of the largest and best-preserved rift systems that initiated during the breakup of Rodinia, yet substantial challenges still hinder our understanding of its early evolution and place within the Rodinian supercontinent. In the past decade, our understanding of rift and passive margin development, mantle plumes and their role in tectonics, geodynamics of supercontinent breakup, and sequence stratigraphy in tectonic settings has advanced significantly. However, literature on the early evolution of the Adelaide Superbasin has not been updated to reflect these advancements. Using new detrital zircon age data for provenance, combined with existing literature, we examine the earliest tectonic evolution of the Adelaide Superbasin in the context of our modern understanding of rift system development. A new maximum depositional age of 893 ± 9 Ma from the lowermost stratigraphic unit provides a revised limit on the initiation of sedimentation and rifting within the basin. Our model suggests that the basin evolved through an initial pulse of extension exploiting pre-existing crustal weakness to form half-grabens. Tectonic quiescence and stable subsidence followed, with deposition of a sourceward-shifting facies tract. Emplacement and extrusion of the Willouran Large Igneous Province occurred at c. 830 Ma, initiating a new phase of rifting. This rift renewal led to widespread extension and subsidence with the deposition of the Curdimurka Subgroup, which constitutes the main cyclic rift sequence in the Adelaide Superbasin. Our model suggests that the Adelaide Superbasin formed through rift propagation to an apparent triple junction, rather than apical extension outward from this point. In addition, we provide evidence suggesting a late Mesoproterozoic zircon source to the east of the basin, and show that the lowermost stratigraphy of the Centralian Superbasin, which is thought to be deposited coevally, had different primary detrital sources.

Abstract:

The 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.

The Neoproterozoic to Cambro-Ordovician sediments of the Adelaide Rift Complex (formerly Adelaide Geosyncline) have been the focus of extensive investigation. Despite this, comparatively little is known about the Earliest Adelaidean Callanna Group sediments, due to their sparse preservation in outcrop geology. Exposure of the Callanna Group, and structures related to early Cryogenian graben formation at Arkaroola, in the northern Flinders Ranges, provides a unique opportunity to unravel the local geometries of rift initiation. These rocks have been subjected to multiple intracontinental deformations, most notably the Delamerian Orogeny. Through detailed structural mapping and analysis it is possible to propose models of tectonic evolution for this area. Previous regional scale mapping of the northern Flinders Ranges has identified a disparity between the tectonic history of the Arkaroola Basin and broader northern Flinders Ranges. The nature of the rifting and orogenic evolution of the Arkaroola Basin is determined though analysis of field data, rock samples in thin section and EBSD analysis. Graben formation accommodated an initial period of clastic and evaporitic deposition, followed by rift related basalt extrusion. This was followed by several phases of localised rifting and deposition, controlled by evolving fault geometries. Broad-scale orthogonal folding has folded an earlier composite fabric in conjunction with bedding. This initially planar fabric, most notable in the Woodnamoka Phyllite, formed during peak metamorphism of at least 500° C and approximately 3 kbars and is primarily attributed to burial beneath a thick pile of rift and sag phase sediments, coupled with a change in horizontal stresses. This is loosely constrained to post-rift cessation and before a previously indentified thermal pulse, ca 440 Ma. A set of NE-SW trending faults in the basin have been identified as En echelon stepovers of the Paralana Fault system, responsible for the formation of the pull-apart geometries. This system of faults details a strike-slip duplex, the reactivation of which, coupled with an anomalously high-heat producing basement, has controlled and localised deformation of the Arkaroola Basin.

The Coompana Province between the Gawler Craton in South Australia and the Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia is one of the least understood geological regions in Australia. Recent work by Spaggiari and Smithies (2015) suggests that the known crustal precursors in the Coompana Province originated in a new crustal generation event at ca. 1900 Ma. This new juvenile crustal element then evolved through three distinct reworking and magmatic events at ca. 1610 Ma, ca. 1500 Ma, and between ca. 1192 – 1150 Ma (Wade et al., 2007; Spaggiari and Smithies, 2015). Dating of mafic volcanics underlying the Bight Basin in the south-eastern Coompana Province using the Sm-Nd mineral isochron method has revealed a fourth distinctive episode of mafic magmatism at ca. 860 Ma. The geochemical and Nd-isotopic signatures of ca. 860 ma mafic magmatism, including Nb and Ti anomalies, LREE enrichment, K-anomalies, and highly evolved εNd(860Ma) values between -9.9 and -12.7 provide evidence for assimilation and reworking of subduction/arc related Coompana Province crust. Magmatism at ca. 860 Ma in the Coompana Province was most likely coeval with widespread magmatism that occurred over Central and Southern Australia between ca. 800 – 830 Ma. Magmatism during this period was associated with the NE-SW directed intracratonic extension that resulted in the Centralian Superbasin and produced various suites of mafic volcanics and intrusives referred to collectively as the Willouran Basic Province. We suggest that the Willouran Basic Province now be extended to include the ca. 860 Ma mafic volcanics and intrusives in the south-eastern Coompana Province.
