Regional Geology
This information on rock units at or nearby to the coordinates given for this locality is based on relatively small scale geological maps provided by various national Geological Surveys. This data will improve over time as more accurate maps and data sets are added.
| Lopingian252.17 - 259.9 Ma | Mitchell River Volcanics Igneous felsic volcanic Porphyritic rhyolite and dacite; welded rhyolitic ignimbrite; porphyritic andesite; laminated to thick-bedded, rhyolitic tuff, lapilli tuff, and volcanic claystone, siltstone, sandstone, and conglomerate. igneous felsic volcanic; synthesis of multiple published descriptions |
| Mesoproterozoic1000 - 1600 Ma | Mesoproterozoic intrusive and metamorphic terranes Intrusive and metamorphic terranes Mixtures of metamorphic and intrusive or plutonic rocks, tracts known as crystalline, migmatitic terranes, moderately to highly metamorphosed rocks of unknown origin with or without intrusions. This classification is inherently prone to variable interpretation, as other compilers might distinguish some packages by their metamorphic or gneissic protoliths, and the associated age ranges may be more variable. |
| Calymmian - Statherian1400 - 1800 Ma | Paleoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic granulite-facies metamorphics High grade metamorphic rock High-grade metamorphic rocks, generally with granulite facies assemblages; includes granitic gneisses |
