Major Regional Geological Units
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 does not necessarily represent the geology at this locality but it gives a background for the region in which it is found.
| Cenozoic 0 - 66 Ma | sand plain 38499 |
| Paleoproterozoic 1600 - 2500 Ma | Paleoproterozoic intrusive and metamorphic terranes Intrusive and metamorphic terranes Arunta Block 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. |
| Statherian 1600 - 1800 Ma | Paleoproterozoic granites |
