“…These sedimentary rocks are comprised of the Locker Shale and Mungaroo Formation, a deltaic depositional system indicating a regressive component of the post‐rift depositional cycle (Adamson et al., 2013; Marshall & Lang, 2013). The Locker Shale, deposited over the TR10.0 SB unconformity (Base Triassic, 252.2 Ma) (Figure 3), is a widespread and mechanically weak unit that reaches >400 m in thickness on the Mermaid Nose and >2 km thickness further to the west (Deng & McClay, 2019a, 2021; Gartrell et al., 2016; McHarg et al., 2018). During the Middle–Late Triassic, increased sediment supply and limited subsidence led to the deposition of the fluvio‐deltaic Mungaroo Formation, a coarsening‐upward unit dominated by sandstones (Adamson et al., 2013).…”
