“…Yet, sitespecific palaeoenvironmental, taphonomic, and geochronologic remain elusive (Tucker et al, , 2016. Therefore, these new assemblages lacked critical stratigraphic context to temporally co-occurring fossil assemblages described by Hocknull et al (2009) and Poropat et al (2015a,b), among others.…”

“…This is reflected in the western portions of the basin, which experienced higher rates of subsidence, due to asymmetric loading as would be expected with thrust loading on the western side of the basin (Gallagher, 1990;Draper, 2002). Furthermore, association of a remnant volcanic arc (Whitsunday Volcanic Province) and late Mesozoic subduction margin along the east coast of Australia lends strong support to a retro-arc foreland basin model (Gallagher and Lambeck, 1989;Gallagher et al, 1994;Russell and Gurnis;1994;Veevers, 2000a,b;Tucker et al, 2016). This continental margin has been challenged by Bryan et al (2012, and references therein) as a possible S-LIP, and furthermore by Tucker et al (2016) as a progressive subduction margin.…”

Unfortunately, the lack of such key features as clearly defined fold and thrust belt to the east of the basin, make it difficult to confirm either of these models.…”

“…More recently, work by Greentree (2011; pg 61), Bryan et al (2012), and Tucker et al (2013Tucker et al ( , 2016 have utilized detrital zircon geochronology to demonstrate a considerably younger age for the upper part of the preserved Winton Formation, consistant with a latest Cenomanian-Turonian age for this part of the stratigraphy. Tucker et al (2016) used the same approach to constrain the upper Mackunda Formation to latest Albian (~104-102 Ma); which therefore indicates that the base of the Winton Formation must be no older than this.…”

Sediment routing and basin evolution in Proterozoic to Mesozoic east Gondwana: A case study from southern Australia

et al. 2018

Sedimentary rocks along the southern margin of Australia host an important record of the 18 break-up history of east Gondwana, as well as fragments of a deeper geological history, which collectively help inform the geological evolution of a vast and largely underexplored 20 region. New drilling through Cenozoic cover has allowed examination of the Cretaceous riftrelated Madura Shelf sequence (Bight Basin), and identification of two new stratigraphic units beneath the shelf; the possibly Proterozoic Shanes Dam Conglomerate and the 1 interpreted Palaeozoic southern Officer Basin unit, the Decoration Sandstone. Recognition of these new units indicates an earlier basinal history than previously known. Lithostratigraphy of the new drillcore has been integrated with that published from onshore and offshore cores to present isopach maps of sedimentary cover on the Madura Shelf. New palynological data demonstrate progression from more localized freshwater-brackish fluviolacustrine clastics in the early Cretaceous (Foraminisporis wonthaggiensis-Valanginian to Barremian) to widespread topography-blanketing, fully marine, glauconitic mudrocks in the mid Cretaceous (Endoceratium ludbrookiae-Albian). Geochronology and Hf-isotope geochemistry show detrital zircon populations from the Madura Shelf are comparable to those from the southern Officer Basin, as well as Cenozoic shoreline and palaeovalley sediments in the region. The detrital zircon population from the Shanes Dam Conglomerate is defined by a unimodal ~1400 Ma peak, which correlates with directly underlying crystalline basement of the Madura Province. Peak ages of ~1150 Ma and ~1650 Ma dominate the age spectra of all other samples, indicating a stable sediment reservoir through much of the Phanerozoic, with sediments largely sourced from the Albany-Fraser and Musgrave Orogens (directly and via multiple recycling events). The Madura Shelf data differ from published data for the Upper Cretaceous Ceduna Delta to the east, indicating significant differences in sediment provenance and routing between the Ceduna Sub-basin and central Bight Basin.
