Exploring for the Future – New SHRIMP geochronology constraints on the basin evolution of the South Nicholson region
This Record presents twelve new zircon U-Pb geochronological results from the South Nicholson region, conducted on Geoscience Australia’s Sensitive High Resolution Ion Micro Probe (SHRIMP), as part of the Commonwealth Government’s Exploring for the Future (EFTF) program, an initiative to better understand the mineral, energy and groundwater potential of northern Australia. These data will facilitate greater understanding of the geological evolution of the South Nicholson region, a vast and underexplored region extending across north-eastern Northern Territory and far north-western Queensland.
Samples were collected from across the South Nicholson region including MOUNT DRUMMOND, CALVERT HILLS, BRUNETTE DOWNS (NT), LAWN HILL and CAMOOWEAL (QLD) 250K mapsheets. Four samples are from outcrop and eight samples from six stratigraphic and exploration drillholes. Samples were collected from the Paleoproterozoic Murphy Province and from overlying successions of the Paleoproterozoic Benmara Group and the Mesoproterozoic South Nicholson Group. Several samples from drillholes, have stratigraphic affinities that are uncertain and speculative.
