Abstract
North Queensland comprises Palaeoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic basement (Etheridge, Savannah, Croydon ) provinces structurally overlain by successively younger components including Neoproterozoic-Cambrian (Iron Range, Cape River, Barnard), Cambrian-Ordovician (Thalanga) and Ordovician to Carboniferous (Broken River, Hodgkinson) provinces. The region has been the site of long lived, episodic, widespread and voluminous felsic I-, S- and rarer A-type magmatism, spanning some 1200 Ma. Major episodes of granite formation include the Mesoproterozoic (ca 1550 Ma), the Cambrian to Ordovician (ca 480-460 Ma) Macrossan Igneous Province, the Silurian to Devonian (ca 430-380 Ma) Pama Igneous Province, and the Carboniferous to Permian (ca 330-260 Ma) Kennedy Igneous Province.
