Abstract
This Record presents new Sensitive High Resolution Ion MicroProbe (SHRIMP) U-Pb zircon results from the Mount Isa Orogen obtained under the auspices of the Geological Survey of Queensland-Geoscience Australia (GSQ-GA) National Collaboration Framework (NCF) geochronology project between July 2016 and June 2017. New results are presented from eight samples collected as part of ongoing regional mapping and geoscientific programs in the Mount Isa Orogen. GA work presented here represents part of the federally funded Exploring for the Future Program. As a part of ongoing geological mapping in the Mount Isa Orogen, the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) and Geoscience Australia (GA) have undertaken a geochronology program to enhance the understanding of the geological evolution of the province. There are two focus areas as a part of this Record. The first focus area is north of Mount Isa, in the Kalkadoon-Leichhardt and Sybella domains (Figure i), and includes geochronology results from three mafic to intermediate rocks. The second focus area is south of Cloncurry, in the Kuridala–Selwyn and Marimo–Staveley domains (Figure i), and includes geochronology results from one leucogranite and four sedimentary rocks. For ease of reporting, these two focus areas are split into two themes 1) ‘mafic rocks’ for the three geochronology results north of Mount Isa; and 2) ‘Kuridala–Selwyn corridor’ for the five geochronology results south of Cloncurry. <b>Bibliographic Reference:</b> LEWIS, C.J., WITHNALL, I.W., HUTTON, L.J., BULTITUDE, R.J., SLADE, A.P., SARGENT, S., 2020.
