Abstract

This Record presents data collected in September 2019 as part of the ongoing Northern Territory Geological Survey–Geoscience Australia (NTGS–GA) SHRIMP geochronology project under the National Collaborative Framework (NCF) agreement and Geoscience Australia's Exploring for the Future (EFTF) Program. Two new U–Pb SHRIMP zircon geochronological results derived from two samples of the Balbirini Dolostone (southern McArthur Basin, Northern Territory) are presented herein. The Balbirini Dolostone is part of the early Mesoproterozoic Nathan Group, and is a thick unit of interbedded dolostone and dolomitic siliciclastic rocks that include evaporitic redbeds. The two samples were collected in June 2019 from the type section of the Balbirini Dolostone in southern BAUHINIA DOWNS (MALLAPUNYAH). <b>Bibliographic Reference:</b> Kositcin N, and Munson TJ, 2020.
