Key Creek Gneiss
This sample of biotite paragneiss was collected from an outcrop in a creek bed ~50 m N of Normanby Road, on Sutherland station ~40 km SSE of Collinsville. The Key Creek Gneiss forms an extensive (~265 km2) metamorphic complex located in the centre of the Urannah Batholith. The rocks within the complex are mainly upper amphibolite-grade paragneisses, which have a distinctive elevated thorium response on radiometric images. The analysed sample comprises mainly quartz, feldspar, andalusite (commonly extensively altered), biotite and muscovite, with minor garnet, traces of apatite, zircon, and monazite, and scattered quartz inclusions. Previous geochronology on this sample includes SHRIMP U-Pb zircon analysis and Isotope Dilution Thermal Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (ID-TIMS) U-Pb monazite analyses (sample 1953976/RJB2913; Cross et al. 2012a). SHRIMP U-Pb zircon geochronology of two Key Creek Gneiss samples reported by Cross et al. (2012a) gave metamorphic ages of 297.0 +/- 2.7 Ma and 298.2 +/- 6.9 Ma (samples: 1980488/BB4952, 1953976/RJB2913 respectively).These SHRIMP U-Pb zircon ages, derived from analyses of low Th/U metamorphic rims, are in contrast to the ID-TIMS U-Pb monazite age determination for one of these samples (1953976/RJB2913) which gave an age of 291.0 +/- 0.9 Ma (Cross et al. 2012a). These ages led Cross et al. (2012a) to suggest that metamorphism within the metamorphic complex, was a protracted event between ~300 Ma and ~290 Ma. The IDTIMS U-Pb monazite age determination of 291.0 +/- 0.9 Ma reported for sample 1953976/RJB2913 (Cross et al., 2012a) is, however, somewhat equivocal as three of the six fractions analysed were interpreted to have possibly undergone Pb-loss, and were consequently not used in the age calculation. Therefore, an additional isotopic study of these monazites was undertaken by SHRIMP U-Pb to further examine the metamorphic crystallisation age of these grains.

Agnes Water Volcanics
The Agnes Water Volcanics comprise an extensive pile of terrestrial volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks. In stratigraphic order, these comprise: 1) basal mafic to intermediate lavas and volcaniclastic deposits, 2) dacitic ignimbrite and volcaniclastic sediments, 3) rhyolitic ignimbrite and 4) coherent and autoclastic rhyolite to dacite domes and cryptodomes. In places, the unit rests unconformably on Permian sediments of the Gympie Group and is overlain by the Jurassic Myrtle Creek Sandstone. The unit is intruded by several granites considered Late Triassic in age including the Eurimbula Granite (e.g. SampleID 200701526). Stevens (1968) recorded the presence of Triassic plant fossils (Dicroidoidium odontopteroides: Early Late Triassic) in sandstones near the base of the unit. The sample collected is from sub-unit 4) and is a weak to moderately weathered, grey flow-banded rhyolite with streaks and patches of Fe-oxide staining. It consists of moderately abundant, medium-sized phenocrysts of embayed quartz, altered K-feldspar and rare, small, heavily altered biotite. The groundmass is recrystallised and exhibits micropoikiolitic to granophyric textures.

Elgin Vale Diorite
The Elgin Vale Diorite intrudes the Neara Volcanics on the Goomeri and Nanango 1:100 000 sheet areas, and comprises equigranular to porphyritic microdiorite, porphyritic microdiorite, biotite-hornblende diorite. The sample collected for SHRIMP U-Pb analysis is a fresh unaltered medium grained equigranular diorite. It is dominated by euhedral plagioclase (~55%) with biotite (~10%), clinopyroxene (~7%), and hornblende (~15%) with minor interstitial quartz (~5%) and opaques (probably sulphides, ~7%). Accessory apatite, titanite and zircon were observed. It was collected ~37 km south-south-east of Goomeri, in the Elgin Vale State Forest.

Avoca Creek Granodiorite
The Avoca Creek Granodiorite comprising three phases of differing texture and mineralogy but similar chemistry: fine-grained porphyritic hornblende-biotite granodiorite; quartz porphyry; and fine to medium-grained biotite-hornblende granodiorite. Previous age determinations have proven problematic. The Avoca Creek Granodiorite intrudes a sequence of sediments (the Bryden Formation) which are dated by palynology elsewhere as Early to Middle Triassic and would likely be between 251 and 228 Ma. This conflicts with a K/Ar hornblende date of 255 +/- 5 Ma for the Avoca Creek Granodiorite. The sample collected for SHRIMP U-Pb analysis is a grey porphyritic granodiorite. It contains phenocrysts of weak to moderately sericitised plagioclase (~42%) and K-feldspar (~15%), recrystallised interstitial quartz (~28%), and minor mafics comprising biotite/chlorite with numerous pleochroic haloes (~8%), opaques (probably sulphides, ~2%) and relict hornblende phenocrysts, altered to chlorite (~5%). Accessory apatite and zircon was observed in inclusions in biotite and interstitial with matrix quartz. It was sampled from a boulder unearthed during road works approximately 15 km west of Jimna in the Jimna State Forest.

Eurimbula Granite
The Eurimbula Granitecrops out through the Turkey Beach to Agnes Water area and generally comprises pink, medium-grained, miarolitic biotite granite. About 1-2 km away from this sample site, rhyolitic ignimbrite of the Agnes Water volcanics contains fragments of pink granite very similar in appearance to the Eurimbula Granite, which suggests that the Agnes Water Volcanics may overlie the Eurimbula Granite, and the current sample 200701526 was collected to investigate this relationship. The sample collected is a fine- to medium-grained, roughly equigranular, biotite granite. It comprises euhedral, altered, unzoned plagioclase (some with minor K-feldspar overgrowths), occasional quartz, very abundant graphic intergrowths of quartz and k-feldspar and rare, heavily altered relicts of biotite.

unnamed metasediment
25 m true thickness protomylonite-to-mylonite dipping 34° towards 283°, with aligned K-feldspars plunging 33° towards 324°. The shear zone strikes NE-SW through the Neoproterozoic-Palaeozoic Harts Range Metamorphic Complex, is continuous for at least 6 km, juxtaposes amphibolite to the south against garnet-biotite-feldspar gneiss to the north, and truncates a 1.5 km wide anticlinal structure. Mylonite hosts a 1 m true thickness, 15 m wide granet-muscovite-bearing granite which appears to have been partially deformed in the shear zone. No NE-SW structures in the region have been dated (Alice Springs-related structures usually NW-SE). Likewise, no other granites in the region have been dated. Monazite in granite targeted for age of shearing.

Central Desert Dolerite Suite
From Wyborn et al. (1998: AGSO Research Newsletter 28, 1-6): Mafic dykes with a prominent NNW trend are prominent in the area, particularly in the granite outcrops east of the Pollock Hills, but do not intrude the Neoproterozoic and younger sequences (Blake, 1977: Webb 1:250 000 Geological Series Explanatory Notes). In thin section, most appear to be pristine, consisting of plagioclase, clinopyroxene, and orthopyroxene; they also contain sulphides (mostly pyrite, but some chalcopyrite). A few of them evince pronounced alteration effects, and are probably older, but they all lack deformational and metamorphic effects, suggesting that they are much younger than the granite.

Yarri Monzogranite
Foliated, white-grey, sparsely feldspar-porphyritic biotite monzogranite. Feldspar phenocrysts to 2 cm. Foliation well developed and defined by aligned biotite and elongate quartz grains. The unit contains relatively common oval to elongate biotite-rich (ex-greenstone?) enclaves, aligned parallel to foliation. Local outcrop contains common, mostly (all?) sinistral, shears from less than 15 cm to several metres, cross-cutting the main foliation. The monzogranite is schistose in larger shears. Common quartz veins are associated with the shears, locally with small workings and pits. Granoblastic texture, dominant minerals plagioclase, K-feldspar, quartz and biotite. Plagioclase: subhedral mostly, twinned, unzoned to slightly zoned, twins locally deformed or kinked, relatively common myrmekitic outgrowths, locally fine to very-fine grained (recrystallising?) growing out from plagioclase into K-feldspar, plagioclase>K-feldspar. K-feldspar: anhedral to interstitial, often with minor to moderate deformation twinning, minor to locally moderate vein perthite. Quartz: anhedral elongate to very elongate grains, all recrystallised to finer grained aggregates which show straight extinction to mostly mildly undulose extinction. Biotite: 5-7%, forms elongate grains and aggregates, commonly replaced by muscovite, chlorite and associated with clinozoisite/epidote. No accessory phases identified. Secondary minerals include common white mica (sericite and muscovite), common clinozoisite/epidote, minor chlorite, and trace carbonate, typically replacing biotite and plagioclase. Muscovite, chlorite and, especially epidote/clinozoisite forms elongate aggregates and grains parallel to the foliation.

Lottah Granite
The Lottah Granite (also known as the Anchor Granite) consists of several texturally variable but usually fine-grained bodies of felsic, strongly fractionated peraluminous alkali-feldspar granite that intrude the Poimena pluton in the Blue Tier area. The Mt Paris Granite, a larger mass that intrudes Mathinna Supergroup a short distance to the west, is very similar. These bodies are pervasively hydrothermally altered and have been extensively studied (McClenaghan & Williams, 1982; McClenaghan et al., 1982; Cocker, 1982; Mackenzie et al., 1988) because of their association with economically important Sn mineralisation, notably in greisen at the Anchor Mine. The origin of this body and the associated mineralisation has long been the source of considerable controversy. Gee and Groves (1971), McCarthy and Groves (1979) and Higgins et al. (1985) proposed that the Lottah Granite was derived from the Poimena Granite by extreme fractional crystallisation, followed by intense subsolidus metasomatism. In contrast, Mackenzie et al. (1988, 1990) argued that the Lottah Granite was derived from a completely independent magma: their evidence included chemical and Sr and Nd isotopic differences, together with a series of Rb-Sr isochrons that indicated that the Lottah Granite was about 10 million years younger. Higgins (1990) preferred to interpret the age difference as resulting from isotopic resetting during intense hydrothermal alteration, 10 million years after the crystallisation of the Lottah Granite. The two competing models were most recently reviewed by Sun and Higgins (1996). However, the new SHRIMP U-Pb ages, which are considered much more resistant to resetting, also yield the same ~10 million-year age difference between the two granites, confirming that the Lottah Granite was not derived from the Poimena magma (386.7 +/- 2.6 Ma (95% confidence), SampleID 99220057).

Wingora complex
The sample was collected from a granite pavement on the S side of a low hill, about 400 m N of Wingora Soak. This foliated, white, seriate, medium-grained banded gneissic biotite (5-6%) trondhjemite is interlayered with subordinate grey, equigranular, fine- to medium-grained titanite-biotite granodiorite. The latter forms bands, locally exceeding 1 m thick but often much thinner (1-10 cm), which are characterised by significantly more mafic and biotite-rich (20-30%) compositions, than the dated host. These bands may represent original dykes or enclaves (now strung out) within the host trondhjemite. The bands are generally sub-parallel and typically parallel to the foliation. Both phases are cut by thin discordant felsic granite and pegmatite veins, and by later, essentially unfoliated, pink monzogranite dykes up to 10 m in width, which form part of a large dyke swarm. The principal minerals contributing to the granoblastic texture are plagioclase, K-feldspar, quartz and biotite, with plagioclase much more abundant than K-feldspar. Plagioclase occurs as subhedral to lesser anhedral grains, with faint to no visible twinning, and no obvious to minor zoning. Minor myrmekite is present. The plagioclase displays minor to moderate white mica and carbonate alteration. K-feldspar is present as anhedral to interstitial grains, with moderately- to well-developed tartan twinning, and minor perthite. Quartz is largely anhedral, with mostly moderately undulose extinction. Biotite occurs as irregular to locally subhedral flakes. It is pale yellow to medium red-brown, with minor alteration to chlorite, rutile, fluorite and/or minor white mica. Accessory minerals include zircon and apatite (commonly large hexagonal grains), anhedral to subhedral minor titanite ( less than 1%), and irregular opaque oxide minerals.

Mt Joanna granodiorite
The sample was collected from a whaleback in an area of good bouldery outcrop N of a fence line, about 4.6 km NNW of Six Mile Hill. It is a foliated and lineated, incipiently banded, grey-white, fine- to medium-grained biotite granodiorite. The fine banding (less than 2 cm in width) is defined by biotite-rich and biotite-poor layers. The rock is an early granitic gneiss that is cut by late granite dykes and pegmatites. Principal minerals in the granoblastic to granular rock are plagioclase, K-feldspar, quartz and biotite, with plagioclase much more abundant than K-feldspar. Plagioclase occurs as subhedral to anhedral grains in which twinning is faint to absent. Zoning is not obvious in these grains. Minor myrmekite is present. Plagioclase displays minor to moderate white mica and carbonate alteration. K-feldspar is anhedral to interstitial, with moderately developed tartan twinning, and minor perthite. Quartz occurs as anhedral to elongate grains that are mostly moderately to mildly undulose. Biotite is present as irregular to locally subhedral, light yellow to medium-dark brown flakes, with minor alteration to chlorite, rutile, epidote and/or minor white mica. Accessory minerals include apatite, zircon, opaque minerals and allanite.

Strongly deformed metasedimentary rock sampled on the S bank of Rocky River, about 10 m from the site of the deformed and altered granitic rock (dated as 93220005) on the N bank. The two rocks are quite difficult to distinguish in outcrop and in hand specimen; however, they are readily distinguishable by thin-section examination and their chemical compositions. The metasedimentary rock contains 89.08% SiO2 and 3.71% Al2O3 (compared to 66.81% and 12.61% respectively for the granite), indicating that the sedimentary precursor was probably an impure quartz sandstone.

Tingha Monzogranite
This sample is a medium grained, porphyritic monzogranite composed of quartz (20%), alkali feldspar (40%), plagioclase (25%) and ferromagnesians (biotite+amphibole, 15%). It is fresh with only minor alteration of feldspar and ferromagnesians. Quartz is relatively late, anhedral, relatively unstrained with some local subgrain formation. Plagioclases (<3 mm) are subhedral, equant and commonly zoned. Alkali feldspar forms tabular, simply twinned, sometimes poorly zoned phenocrysts to 5 mm. More generally the alkali feldspars are perthitic and show weak development of microcline twinning and swapped rims. The biotite (<2 mm; medium yellow brown to dark chocolate brown) is subhedral to tabular. The amphiboles (<2 mm, straw/brown green to medium green, twinned) are subhedral to euhedral, with some lighter coloured felted cores. Rare relict pyroxene cores are present. Euhedral zircons are locally abundant and spatially associated with the biotite. Stubby to rarely more elongate apatites are present. Some larger subhedral primary titanite (<0.8mm) is present. Rare secondary titanite replaces biotite and amphibole. Largish subhedral metamict allanite (<1mm) are surrounded by prominent cracks in adjacent grains. Opaque oxides are present and are usually located within or adjacent to biotites.

Pollock Hills Formation
From Wyborn et al. (1998: AGSO Research Newsletter 28, 1-6): Felsic volcanics of the Pollock Hills Formation comprise black porphyritic dacite and rhyodacite overlain by sedimentary rocks (Blake and Towner, 1974: BMR Record 1974/53). Alteration is less pervasive than in the Mount Webb Granite, and two alteration types are evident: hematite and epidote. Even the least altered volcanic samples (mainly porphyritic ignimbrites with phenocrysts of plagioclase, magnetite and quartz in decreasing order of abundance) are markedly recrystallised, suggesting they are metamorphosed. The ignimbrites comprise two types: those with abundant lithic fragments and crystals (represented by SampleID 96496024), and those with a lower crystal and lithic content. Fine-grained magnetite is scattered throughout the groundmass. Primary sulphides are rare. Hematite alteration is possibly related to two events. (1) Hematite alteration is prominent at the top of the volcanics, near the contact with the sedimentary rocks. Red hematite-rich layers interspersed with the sedimentary rocks suggest oxidising conditions prevailed during sedimentation/eruption, so hematite may be related to meteoric fluids rather than hydrothermal/magmatic processes. (2) Hematite alteration affects highly sheared volcanics away from the sediment/volcanic interface. NW of Kiwirrkurra, a hematite-rich K-feldspar-altered volcanic rock associated with ironstone cuts a chlorite/sericite-altered volcanic rock. NW of Mount Webb, hematite alteration affects a sample of K-feldspar-bearing rock containing anomalously high potassium. Shearing at both sites suggests this type of hematite alteration postdates that formed at the sediment/water interface early in the paragenetic history. Late epidote-quartz alteration is common in the volcanics, and progressively destroys primary igneous textures. It resembles sodic-calcic alteration in the Mount Webb Granite, and both are focused in shear zones trending 310.

The Pinnacles leucogranite
Paraphrased from Elburg et al. (2013): "Whitish-yellow microgranite representative of sodic leucogranites, but unlike PIN9, this one intrudes pre-Neoproterozoic "basement" pegamtitic granite. The sample consists of quartz and albite, with a small number of zircons. Zircon crystals in leucogranite sample ARK751 are prismatic and up to 300 um in length.They have a dull light brown colour and are cloudy. CL images show a mottled internal structure, and only rare rims show the oscillatory zoning typically associated with igneous zircons. Micron-sized inclusions of a uranium-bearing phase (likely an oxide or hydroxide) were observed within some of the ARK751 zircons. There is no evidence for any inherited cores in the zircons from either their shape or CL images. We interpret the irregular internal structure seen in CL to reflect post-magmatic metamictisation."

Jan Bore
This is a moderately to strongly feldspar-phyric fine-medium grained biotite monzogranite that contains moderately common thin pegmatite veins and dykes. Titanite and hornblende occur as minor mineral phases. The granitoid also contains common amphibole lamprophyre enclaves and/or disrupted dykes. A feldspar-phyric hornblende-biotite granodiorite outcrops to the east of, and subparallel to, the biotite monzogranite. Both exhibit similar textures and a subparallel, weak mineral alignment. No contact relations were established between the two granitoid phases.
The sample was drilled from a large outcrop near Jan Bore.

Mount Webb Granite
From Wyborn et al. (1998: AGSO Research Newsletter 28, 1-6): The Mount Webb Granite is heterogeneous, comprising several types of unaltered granite, sodic-calcic-altered granite, sericite-altered granite, and aplite. Most altered samples are from near the Mount Webb Shear Zone. All samples are recrystallised, and most are foliated, suggesting the granite has been affected by a post-intrusion metamorphic event. Unaltered granite ranges from mafic diorite/tonalite (represented by SampleID 96496028A), through granodiorite (represented by SampleID 96496035), monzogranite (dominant) and syenogranite, to aplite. Some late felsic fractionated phases contain fluorite and nodules of tourmaline +/- quartz. These rocks have typical I-type mineralogy, and are composed of hornblende, biotite, magnetite, plagioclase, K-feldspar, and quartz. Magnetite, with exsolution lamellae of ilmenite, is common in most samples, but is more abundant in the diorite/tonalite; sulphides are extremely rare. Rimming of magnetite by titanite is one tangible effect of alteration. Sodic-calcic alteration is characterised by diopside + epidote +/- tremolite (only present in more deformed samples), and is prominent in a shear zone trending 310 both to the NW and SE of Mt Webb. Most contain titanite, and albite/oligoclase is the only feldspar. Few quartz veins cut sodic-calcic altered rocks, and open spaces were not observed in the veins. Neither sulphides nor anomalous concentrations of elements are apparent. Sericite alteration is more restricted than sodic-calcic alteration, and is associated with brecciated and fractured granite (represented by SampleID 96496011) cut by quartz veins with open spaces. A higher modal abundance of sulphides accompanies this type of alteration. In thin section, sericite consists mainly of fine grains concentrated in veins parallel to the foliation. Opaque phases are rare: some samples have magnetite or small pyrite grains; one has chalcopyrite.

Maverick Granite

Gilgai Granite
This sample is a quench crystallised micro(syeno)granite. It comprises quartz ~ alkali feldspar >> plagioclase, biotite ~ amphibole (5%) and is characterised by extreme radiating quench crystallisation of biotite, amphibole, plagioclase and apatite. Later infill crystallisation by quartz and lesser alkali feldspar has resulted in mosaics to 1 cm of inclusion-rich interlocking crystals of quartz concentrated in areas of sheaf textured plagioclase, with zones of blocky to euhedral alkali feldspar relatively poor in quench crystallised phases. The plagioclase (albitic) can be multiply twinned with individual bladed crystals up to 1 mm (usually less) and arranged in sheaf like, curved branching groups up to 5 to 8 mm long. Biotites (<1.6 mm by 0.05 mm; straw yellow/brown to dark chocolate brown) are scattered through the sample in random orientations and are strongly acicular (length/width ratios up to 30). Some grains are altered to chlorite and secondary titanite. Amphibole (light green brown to darker green brown) forms euhedral lozenge shaped crystals 0.2 mm in cross section. Crystals can be mildly elongate or occur as trains of crystals to 1mm in length. Apatites have extreme acicular habit (to 0.005 mm by 0.6 mm, typically much smaller) with l/w ratio up to 120 in some cases. Some show 'swallow tail' terminations. Opaques are euhedral (pseudo-cubic) typically 0.05 mm to 0.1 mm up to 0.6 mm and evenly distributed through the rock. They are not spatially associated with biotite or amphibole. The relatively high magnetic susceptibility of the rock indicates that it is predominantly magnetite. Titanite is either secondary after biotite, or as late anhedral primary crystals.

Burtville granodiorite
The sample comes from mine dump material from the Burtville open-pit, which was stockpiled immediately to the W of it. It is a grey, seriate medium-grained biotite granodiorite that contains mafic (?greenstone) enclaves (10-30 cm), biotite clots (less than 6 mm), and microdiorite enclaves. Principal minerals in the granoblastic rock are plagioclase, quartz, K-feldspar and biotite, with plagioclase much more abundant than K-feldspar. Plagioclase occurs as subhedral to euhedral grains that are either zoned or display broad oscillatory to complex zoning. The plagioclase is variably altered to fine- to coarse-grained white mica and lesser biotite, with minor epidote/clinozoisite and carbonate minerals. Quartz is present as minor to moderately undulose, anhedral grains. K-feldspar is anhedral to interstitial, and locally perthitic. Biotite (6-9%) occurs as medium brown to pale yellow, ragged flakes, and commonly displays minor chlorite alteration, with relatively common fine epidote, rutile and Fe-oxide minerals. Accessory phases include zircon, apatite and opaque oxide minerals.

Ansons Bay Granite
The Ansons Bay Granite, the largest pluton (~110 km2) of the Eddystone Batholith, is a strongly porphyritic, coarse-grained, unfractionated to weakly fractionated felsic syenogranite or monzogranite with accessory garnet and cordierite, mainly associated with biotite in mafic schlieren and reaction rims around enclaves and Mathinna Supergroup xenoliths. It becomes slightly more fractionated northwards and Jennings (1977) and Cocker (1982), on the basis of slight textural and chemical differences, suggested that it is composite.

Corbett Formation
The Corbett Formation was sampled from the Percy River, north-northwest of Ortona Station, in the Etheridge Province, Queensland. The sample was located a few hundred metres above the Dead Horse Metabasalt, from a package containing occasional thick beds associated with fine-grained, thinly-bedded, laminated siltstones. The sample was collected from one of the thick beds, and is a calcareous fine- to coarse-grained sandstone.

Heliman Formation
The sample from the Heliman Formation comes from Black Gin Creek, southwest of Green Hills, in the Etheridge Province, Queensland. A fine-grained sandstone with mud clasts (2007169006) was sampled from a thick bed approximately 50 m from the top of the (mapped) formation.

Townley Formation
The Townley Formation was collected southwest of Green Hills, in the Etheridge Province, Queensland. The sample (2007169005) was collected ~400 m below the contact with the overlying Heliman Formation from a thick bed within a siltstone-sandstone package, and is a fine-grained sandstone.

unnamed monzogranite - Rason drillcore
K-feldspar porphyritic biotite monzogranite, BMR Rason No.2 - 469'3 - 470'5. Relatively homogeneous, grey-pink, medium-grained, moderately feldspar porphyritic biotite monzogranite. The interval of drillcore sampled is characterised by a weak foliation. The relationship of the monzogranite to the banded granite complex sampled further down the drillhole is unclear. The principal minerals are plagioclase (35-40%), quartz (30-35%), K-feldspar (20-25%), and biotite (6-8%) with a granular to variably granoblastic texture. Plagioclase is zoned (normal, oscillatory and irregular zoning) with internal zones marked by sericite and epidote replacement. K-feldspar phenocrysts occur as subhedral, perthitic and poikilitic crystals to 2.5 cm, and moderate development of tartan twinning. Quartz is variably recrystallised with some undulose extinction. Myrmekite is a minor component. Biotite comprises 6-8% and is variably chloritised. Accessory phases include titanite, apatite, zircon and Fe-oxides. Secondary minerals include minor to moderate white mica, chlorite, epidote and hematite.

unnamed gneiss - Rason drillcore
Banded felsic biotite gneiss/migmatite, BMR Rason No.2, 473'1 - 474'6. Grey-pink, banded to locally migmatitic, fine- to medium-grained seriate to moderately feldspar porphyritic biotite quartz-feldspathic granitic gneiss. The sampled unit forms one of a number of bands that vary in thickness from <1 cm to >10 cm within a banded granite complex; other bands comprise pegmatite, felsic granite, and thin biotite-rich layers and amphibolite. The banded granite complex is moderately foliated, defined by aligned minerals and elongate quartz grains. The unit is characterised by a granoblastic texture. Principal minerals are plagioclase (35-40%), quartz (35-40%), K-feldspar (15-20%) and biotite (8%). Plagioclase is variably recrystallised and moderately altered to sericite and minor epidote; where preserved, cores are sericitic. Quartz is recrystallised. K-feldspar is mostly microcline and interstitial, although some recrystallised phenocrysts are present. Moderately chloritised biotite occurs as aligned subordinate fine flakes and aggregates. Minor white mica occurs as interstitial flakes. Accessory minerals include apatite, Fe-oxides and zircon. Secondary phases include minor white mica, epidote, chlorite and pyrite.

K-feldspar porphyritic biotite monzogranite, TD1 - 109.50-109.90 m. Undeformed, relatively homogeneous, pink, medium-grained, moderately feldspar porphyritic biotite monzogranite. The unit has a granular texture. Principal minerals are quartz (30-35%), K-feldspar (30-35%), plagioclase (30-35%) and biotite (6-8%). K-feldspar phenocrysts occur as subhedral, perthitic and poikilitic crystals to 2.5 cm with no obvious alignment, and weak development of tartan twinning. Plagioclase is zoned (normal, oscillatory and irregular zoning) with internal zones often marked by thin sericitic mantles. Quartz is variably recrystallised. Myrmekite is also locally developed. Biotite comprises 6-8% of the unit. Accessory phases include titanite, apatite, zircon and Fe-oxides. Secondary minerals include minor white mica, chlorite, epidote and hematite.

Sandblow Granite
Grassy Granite
The Sandblow Granite ("Grassy Granite" of Black et al. 2005) intrudes a mainly Neoproterozoic volcano-sedimentary sequence in the southeast of King Island, and is associated with important W (scheelite) mineralisation in its contact aureole (Wesolowski et al. 1988). It is a relatively oxidised, magnetite-bearing, unfractionated I-type hornblende-biotite monzogranite and is the least felsic Devonian-Carboniferous granite in western Tasmania (SiO2 ~ 68-69%). The nearby Bold Hold body appears to be a detached fault sliver of the main body. About 30 km to the north, the poorly outcropping Sea Elephant pluton, which has not been dated in this study, lacks magnetite but is otherwise similar.

Heemskirk Red Granite
Black et al. (2005, AJES): The Heemskirk Granite is a large (120 km2) composite body that intrudes mainly Precambrian and Cambrian sedimentary rocks near Zeehan, and has been previously dated by several groups (Brooks & Compston 1965; Sawka et al. 1990). It is composed of moderately to strongly fractionated monzogranite to alkali-feldspar granite, commonly with hydrothermally altered feldspar. Mapping, petrography and geochemistry have defined an earlier I-type red phase, which has sub-horizontal contacts with an underlying later S-type white phase (Klominsky 1972; McClenaghan 1994). Tin mineralisation appears to be related to magmatic fluids emanating from the white granite, whilst polymetallic mineralisation near the margin of the red granite may have formed from magmatic and groundwater fluids circulating through the country rocks (Hajitaheri 1985). The recently discovered Avebury Ni deposit in nearby Cambrian ultramafic rocks may have resulted from the hydrothermal remobilisation of nickel by granite-derived fluids (Green & Taheri 2004). Further east, the large carbonate-replacement Sn deposit at Renison lies near small outcropping stocks, and directly over a subsurface granite ridge linking the Heemskirk and Granite Tor plutons.

Housetop Granite
The Housetop Granite is a large (>160 km2) body of monzogranite to alkali-feldspar granite, partly obscured by Cenozoic basalt, that intrudes Palaeozoic and Proterozoic rocks inland of Burnie. Camacho (in Burrett & Martin 1989) and Sawka et al. (1990) recognised several textural types, some containing minor amphibole. The granite is felsic, weakly to moderately fractionated, and of oxidised I-type. Associated mineralisation includes small magnetite-scheelite skarns in its contact aureole (Kara No. 1 and nearby deposits).

Pyengana Granodiorite
McClenaghan & Higgins (1993): The Poimena intrusive phase (Samples 40561, 2012, 2017, 2109, 2008, 2004, MSH182, 166, 175 & 171, 40519, MAL2 & 7) averaged K-Ar ages are: 1.Poimena rock body 377 +/- 4.6 Ma; 2.Pyengana rock body 384 +/- 1.8 Ma and averaged Rb-Sr ages: 1. 376.7 +/- 1 Ma; 2. 377 +/- 1.5 Ma. The Poimena pluton is clearly younger than the biotite granodiorite Pyengana pluton, and also appears to be younger than the Haleys New Country pluton: in each case, the Poimena pluton crosscuts a contact between each pluton and the Mathinna Supergroup. The Pyengana pluton dates have likely been partially reset by thermal or metasomatic effects and it is likely that it is older than is suggested by this data, possibly of a similar age to the George River phase which is chemically similar. The large biotite adamellite Poimena pluton clearly truncates intrusive and faulted boundaries between the Scamander Tier and Mt Pearson bodies, thus showing that it is later than them. In the Poimena area occur a number of minor adamellite intrusions in the Poimena pluton (McClenaghan and Williams, 1982) which are regarded as part of the Poimena pluton.

Wombat Flat Granite
Meredith Granite, mafic phase
The 60km2 Wombat Flat Granite is a fine- to medium-grained, equigranular to porphyritic hornblende-bearing monzogranite comprising the northeastern part of the Meredith Batholith. Although it typically contains 69-72% SiO2, it has previously been termed the Meredith mafic phase (McClenaghan et al. in Burrett & Martin 1989) to distinguish it from the more felsic (74-76% SiO2) parts of the batholith. Both components are I-types (Camacho in Burrett & Martin 1989; Sawka et al. 1990). Large carbonate replacement deposits at Cleveland (Sn-Cu) and Mt Bischoff (Sn) occur within 10 km of the northern margin of the batholith, associated with separate small stocks and dykes.

Sandy Cape Granite
Black et al. (2005, AJES): The Sandy Cape Granite outcrop on this prominent west coast headland has previously been considered by most workers to be part of the Interview Granite, a large elongate dyke-like body extending northward parallel to the coast from Pieman Heads. Although both bodies are felsic and strongly peraluminous S-types that intrude Proterozoic Rocky Cape Group siliciclastic shelf sequences, recent field work (Everard 2005a) has demonstrated that they are not continuous in outcrop. The Sandy Cape Granite is a more strongly fractionated alkali-feldspar granite and may be a cupola rising from a subsurface extension of the Interview Granite, which is mainly monzogranite. Apart from some biotite-free leucogranites, the Sandy Cape body is a two-mica granite, with muscovite at least partly representing pseudomorphs after cordierite (Sawka et al. 1990).

This strongly porphyritic coarse-grained grey monzogranite is part of the large (>640 km2) Poimena Granite body of felsic, unfractionated biotite monzogranite (McClenaghan and Williams 1982), which comprises most of the western part of the Blue Tier Batholith. It commonly contains minor muscovite, and most early workers (Groves et al. 1977) considered it an S-type, but more recently it has been regarded as I-type (Mackenzie et al. 1988). Hornblende is present at its northernmost outcrop at Waterhouse Point and the body may be composite. It has been extensively dated (Cocker 1982; Mackenzie et al. 1988; McClenaghan and Higgins 1993).

Cox Bight Granite
Gravity studies suggest that granite underlies up to 1700 km2 of southwest Tasmania at depths of less than 2 km (Gunn et al. 1996; Leaman & Richardson 2003). One of the few known exposures is at Cox Bight, where granite crops out sporadically over a limited area (51 km2) immediately behind Point Eric, intruding and metamorphosing impure quartzite to biotite hornfels (Hall 1965). The dated rock is a medium- to fine-grained, equigranular unfoliated alkali-feldspar granite to monzogranite, containing red-brown biotite and minor muscovite. Chemically, it is felsic (74-76% SiO2), moderately fractionated and probably of S-type. Alluvial tin mineralisation is known both in the immediate area, and 10 km to the northwest and north at Melaleuca and Ray River.

McClenaghan & Higgins (1993): The Poimena intrusive phase (Samples 40561, 2012, 2017, 2109, 2008, 2004, MSH182, 166, 175 & 171, 40519, MAL2 & 7) averaged K-Ar ages are: 1.Poimena rock body 377 +/- 4.6 Ma; 2.Pyengana rock body 384 +/- 1.8 Ma and averaged Rb-Sr ages: 1. 376.7 +/- 1 Ma; 2. 377 +/- 1.5 Ma. The Poimena pluton is clearly younger than the biotite granodiorite Pyengana pluton, and also appears to be younger than the Haleys New Country pluton: in each case, the Poimena pluton crosscuts a contact between each pluton and the Mathinna Supergroup. The Pyengana pluton dates have likely been partially reset by thermal or metasomatic effects and it is likely that it is older than is suggested by this data, possibly of a similar age to the George River phase which is chemically similar. The large biotite adamellite Poimena pluton clearly truncates intrusive and faulted boundaries between the Scamander Tier and Mt Pearson bodies, thus showing that it is later than them. In the Poimena area occur a number of minor adamellite intrusions in the Poimena pluton (McClenaghan and Williams, 1982) which are regarded as part of the Poimena pluton.

Trump granite
Granoblastic foliated biotite granodiorite, PPD 034 (KALUS) Project Kailis -[informal_name: Trump]-. Relatively unaltered foliated medium-grained biotite granodiorite. Granoblastic texture. Plagioclase: subhedral to rounded, unzoned to broadly oscillatory and/or normally zoned, also some irregularly patchy zoning, grains typically moderately sericitic/muscovitic with epidote/clinozoisite and uncommon carbonate. K-feldspar: anhedral to interstitial grains, often myrmektic, plagioclase >> K-feldspar. Quartz: elongate grains, often recrystallised to aggregates of smaller sutured grains, moderately to only slightly undulose. Biotite: 6-8%, aligned, fine- to medium-grained flakes and aggregates, light yellow to medium brown, partly chloritic, relatively common epidote and minor rutile replacement. Accessories include common apatite and zircon.

unnamed granite - Throssell drill core
Banded biotite granitic gneiss/migmatite, TD4. Composite sample comprising segments 59.00-60.10 m and 60.55-61.00m, combined. Grey-cream, banded to locally migmatitic, fine- to medium-grained seriate to sparsely feldspar porphyritic biotite quartz-feldspathic granitic gneiss. The sampled unit forms one of a number of bands that vary in thickness from <1 cm to >10 cm within a banded granite complex; other bands comprise amphibole- and biotite-rich mafic bands, pegmatite and felsic granite. The banded granite complex is cut by a number of pink, fine-grained, equigranular to seriate biotite monzogranite dykes, of which sample 98967052A is representative, and several phases of pegmatite. All phases are variably deformed and lineated. The unit is characterised by a granoblastic texture. Principal minerals are plagioclase (20-40%), quartz (35-40%), K-feldspar (15-40%) and biotite (7-10%). Variation in plagioclase and K-feldspar content corresponds with the colour of individual bands, with grey bands comprising plagioclase>K-feldspar and cream-pink bands comprising K-feldspar>plagioclase. Plagioclase is variably recrystallised and moderately altered to sericite and minor epidote. K-feldspar is dominantly microcline, interstitial to plagioclase and quartz, although minor. Quartz is recrystallised and granoblastic. Moderately chloritised biotite occurs as aligned subordinate fine flakes and aggregates. Accessory minerals include apatite, Fe-oxides and zircon. Secondary phases include minor white mica, epidote, chlorite and hematite.

unnamed granite - Throssell drill core
Fine-grained equigranular biotite monzogranite dyke, TD4 - 60.10-60.55 m. Weakly foliated, pink, fine-grained equigranular to seriate biotite monzogranite dyke. The dyke is one of several thin (up to 20 cm) dykes that intrude a grey-cream, banded granite complex, including a banded biotite granitic gneiss, of which sample 98967052B is representative. The dyke is cut by 1-2 cm thick felsic biotite monzogranite veins; these veins were cut from the sample. The principal minerals are quartz (40%), K-feldspar (30-35%), plagioclase (20-25%) and biotite (7-8%) unit with a granular to locally granoblastic texture. Plagioclase is variably recrystallised, displays no zoning and minor simple twinning and is moderately altered to sericite and epidote. Quartz is variably recrystallised with some sutured grain boundaries. K-feldspar occurs as microcline interstitial to plagioclase and quartz. Biotite flakes comprise 7-8% of the unit and are partly chloritised. Accessory phases include metamict allanite, and subordinate apatite, zircon and Fe-oxides. Secondary minerals include minor white mica, chlorite, epidote, carbonate and hematite. Epidote-chlorite-titanite-bearing veinlets are present.

Munro granite
Paraphrased from Williams (1972; WAPET well completion report): "MESOSCOPIC: Uniform fine- to medium-grained granite comprising dark green, vaguely decussate chloritic grains in a groundmass of pink feldspar. Discrete quartz grains are not evident. The rock is cut by a 2 mm wide vein of green prehnite. MICROSCOPIC: The rock is dominated (70%) by micrographic intergrowths of quartz and untwinned potassium feldspar (orthoclase?). Many intergrowths have cores of sodic plagioclase around which micrographic material has grown as coronas. The micrographic grains are equant and up to 1.5 mm across (average about 0.8 mm). Orthoclase is brownish due to kaolinisation. Albitic plagioclase (15%) forms laths and equant subhedra and anhedra up to 1.2 mm across, commonly rimmed by micrographic quartz and orthoclase. It too is kaolinised and many grains are partly replaced by chlorite and/or granular epidote. Within the framework of interlocked micrographic grains, anhedral chlorite (15%) is up to 0.8 mm across, and commonly aggregated into vaguely decussate clumps. About half the chlorite replaced biotite, but some has undoubtedly replaced plagioclase. Leucoxenised ilmenite (0.5%) forms scattered anhedra up to 0.4 mm across. Apatite is common as tiny slender prisms scattered through the micrographic quartz and orthoclase. Zircon is very rare. The secondary vein evident in hand specimen is dominated by fine-grained prehnite; quartz, chlorite and epidote together comprise <2% of the vein. Widespread deuteric alteration is manifested as kaolinised orthoclase and albite, epidotised plagioclase, chloritised plagioclase and biotite, and leucoxenised ilmenite. NAME: Fine- to medium-grained chloritised biotite micrographic granite." Jourdan et al. (2014; Geology 42, 543-546) interpreted this rock as the differentiated centre of a thick dolerite sill, and noted the presence of mafic enclaves in hand specimen, possibly derived from earlier-erupted basalt trapped in this intrusive rock.

At Mt Fort Constantine, 30 km northeast of Cloncurry and 7 km west of the Ernest Henry Cu-Au deposit, brecciated felsic to intermediate volcanic rocks contain relict tabular feldspar and recrystallised quartz phenocrysts (Page and Sun, 1998 AJES). These rocks, which were previously assigned to the Argylla Formation, have undergone strong alteration to assemblages rich in amphibole and magnetite. Sample 92208012 was collected about 150 m northwest of sample 92208029.

unnamed layered orthogneiss - Rudall
Compositionally layered granitic orthogneiss was sampled from the southwestern part of the Talbot Zone (MGA 407035E 7499300), where it comprises poorly exposed quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss with sporadic xenoliths of amphibolite, ultramafic rock and metasedimentary rock (Hickman and Bagas, 1998). The gneiss unit contains centimetre-scale layering defined by variable proportions of feldspar and biotite and thin lenses of biotite aggregates up to 3 cm across. The sampled rock consists of an equigranular, relatively homogeneous, medium-grained granitic gneiss containing no obvious xenoliths. In thin section, the sample consists of granoblastic quartz and K-feldspar aggregates which define a high-grade foliation, with subsidiary plagioclase and minor hornblende. Minor retrograde alteration is evident, with some sericitic alteration of K-feldspar and epidote associated with mafic minerals.

Talbot schist
Quartz-K-feldspar-muscovite schist was sampled from the northwestern part of the Talbot Zone (MGA 401083E 7507460N), where unassigned metasedimentary schist occurs adjacent to layered granite orthogneiss. Hickman and Bagas (1999) suggested that these metasedimentary rocks might pre-date layered orthogneiss and thus comprise some of the oldest rocks in the Talbot Zone. The sampled schist contains a high-grade layer-parallel foliation containing medium- to coarse-grained muscovite, which is folded about mesoscale tight, upright, northwesterly trending F4 folds. The schist forms part of a compositionally layered succession defined by differing abundances of quartz, muscovite and feldspar. In thin section, the schist consists of thin interlayered domains of granoblastic medium-grained quartz, microcline and lesser plagioclase, bound by laminae of layer-parallel muscovite, which comprises up to 15% of the rock.

Krackatinny Supersuite
Poorly exposed quartzofeldspathic schist occurs in several areas of the northern part of the exposed Tabletop Zone, and has been mapped as a distinct lithological unit (Bagas, 1999). In some areas, the schist occurs in higher strain zones that are parallel to the Camel-Tabletop Fault and may represent a deformed variant of the intrusive rocks within the area. In other areas, quartzofeldspathic schist is crosscut by leucogranite dykes and one possibility is that these units represent volcanic or volcaniclastic rocks that pre-date late granite emplacement (Smithies and Bagas, 1998). An irregularly shaped area of quartzofeldspathic schist up to 5 x 3.5 km in extent in the northeastern part of the Tabletop Zone was sampled to provide a constraint on the timing and origin of these rocks in one area.The sampled schist occurs in a broad area of low scattered outcrops of fine-grained quartz-feldspar rock with a pervasive steeply dipping, approximately N-trending foliation (MGA 520659E 7478320N). The contacts with surrounding rocks are not exposed, but outcrops of leucogranite and tonalite occur to the east of the quartzofeldspathic schist, and are also in faulted contact with the western margin of the schist unit. In thin section, the quartzofeldspathic schist consists of fine-grained aggregates of quartz, K-feldspar and plagioclase, with accessory biotite, zircon, apatite and opaque minerals, which define a strong planar foliation that wraps around sporadic larger quartz grains. Feldspar is commonly altered to sericite and minor epidote replaces biotite.
average of suspected age range 1550-90 Ma

Krackatinny Supersuite
A broad area of partially exposed monzogranite 8 x 3.5 km in size occurs in the northeastern part of the Tabletop Zone, and forms the most northeasterly outcrop of the Krackatinny Supersuite. Small outcrops of actinolite-bearing metabasite preserving primary igneous textures occur within the area of granitoid. These could be later intrusive rocks or large xenoliths, but contact relationships are not preserved. Variably foliated amphibolite occurs adjacent to the southern margin of the monzogranite, consisting of actinolite- and hornblende-bearing metabasite, including a plagioclase-rich variety that preserves primary igneous textures. Small mafic xenoliths in the monzogranite are comprised of actinolite and plagioclase, with actinolite partially altered to biotite on xenolith margins, suggesting that amphibolite comprised part of the host rocks to the monzogranite. A variably developed, steeply dipping, NW-trending foliation in the monzogranite is possibly related to a high-strain zone evident in aeromagnetic imagery, which may be a splay off a larger west-northwesterly trending structure that occurs to the north of the granite. A sample was taken from a relatively unweathered granite tor in the western part of the outcrop area (MGA 531426E 7476170N). The monzogranite is medium- to coarse-grained, with a seriate to slightly porphyritic texture and is composed of pinkish K-feldspar, quartz, plagioclase and biotite. In thin section, the biotite folia and domains of recrystallized granoblastic to sutured quartz define a weak foliation that wraps more feldspathic domains. Fine-grained polygonal quartz occurs along narrow zones of recrystallization along the contacts between larger quartz grains. Biotite comprises up to 5% of the rock and is altered to epidote in places. Minor hornblende and accessory zircon and titanite are present.

Fingoon Quartzite
The Fingoon Quartzite was sampled from the Fingoon Range in the central part of the Talbot Zone (MGA 418265E 7500080N). At this location, muscovite-bearing quartzite consists of thickly layered units folded about upright NW-trending, open to close folds overprinted by a NNW-striking fracture cleavage that is evident as a foliation in more muscovite-rich layers. In thin section, the quartzite consists of a mosaic of medium-grained quartz with narrow zones of fine-grained recrystallized quartz along grain boundaries. Muscovite is fine-grained, comprising about 5-10% of the rock, and has a weak preferred orientation.

unnamed megacrystic gneiss Harbutt Range
Megacrystic granitic orthogneiss was sampled from the Connaughton Zone c. 10 km north of the Harbutt Range and c. 4 km southwest of the Camel-Tabletop Fault (MGA 482971E 7474620N). The sampled unit crops out discontinuously over a strike length of approximately 6 km and is broadly conformable with a succession of banded iron formation, amphibolite, muscovite-biotite schist and ultramafic rock. The orthogneiss consists of abundant K-feldspar megacrysts to 2 cm in a medium-grained matrix of quartz, K-feldspar and biotite with minor plagioclase, and has a layer-parallel foliation defined by biotite and quartz-feldspar aggregates. Minor garnet has been described from this unit (Bagas and Smithies, 1998b), but was not observed in the dated sample. Minor epidote forms discrete grains replacing biotite, and feldspar is commonly sericitized.

unnamed quartzite - Tabletop
A quartzite unit was sampled adjacent to the western margin of a large leucogranite intrusion in Tabletop Zone (MGA 513542E 7465160N). The quartzite unit strikes N, has a weak compositional layering defined by partings on bedding planes, and contains a moderately E-dipping layer-parallel foliation which is overprinted by a steeply N-dipping spaced cleavage. Further to the south, the unit contains steeply SSW-plunging mesoscopic folds, which are overprinted by a spaced cleavage dipping moderately S. Banded iron formation has been mapped immediately W of the quartzite (Bagas, 1999), but only secondary iron oxides in quartzite were observed in this study.bIn thin section the quartzite comprises >95% quartz, which forms a fine- to medium-grained recrystallized mosaic with sutured ('bulged') grain boundaries. Discontinuous folia of muscovite define the layer-parallel foliation. Rare isolated grains up to 1 mm in size consist of a recrystallized aggregate of very fine-grained muscovite and chlorite. Trace zircon, biotite and fine-grained opaque minerals are also present. A foliation defined by partial flattening of quartz grains overprints the layer-parallel foliation at a high angle and is interpreted as the east-west trending spaced cleavage seen in outcrop.

Krackatinny Supersuite
Small, isolated outcrops of relatively unweathered granitoid occur in the northeastern margin of the exposed Tabletop Zone, within a broader area of scattered amphibolite exposures. A small granitoid was sampled to test the age of the Krackatinny Supersuite in this area (MGA 511785E 7479760N). The sampled granitoid consists of quartz, K-feldspar, biotite with K-feldspar phenocrysts to 1 cm overprinted by a relatively strongly developed, steeply dipping foliation defined by flattened aggregates of biotite, feldspar and quartz. Irregular, biotite-poor leucogranite veins 1-4 cm thick intrude the granite and post-date the high-grade foliation. Some veins are broadly conformable with the foliation, but lack the foliation and contain small xenoliths of foliated biotite-granitoid, while others more clearly crosscut the foliation and earlier leucogranite veins. Although the outcrops in this area are mapped as plagioclase-phyric tonalite (Bagas, 1999), the outcrops examined in this study were more K-feldspar-rich and the granitoid is better termed a monzogranite at this location. The granitoid sampled for dating is comprised of partially sericitized K-feldspar, quartz, biotite and plagioclase. Oriented biotite associated with recrystallized, medium-grained zones of quartz and K-feldspar defines the dominant foliation, which wraps around domains of coarse-grained K-feldspar, quartz and biotite. Minor hornblende is present, with accessory zircon and titanite, and epidote replaces biotite in places.

Brandy Hot Granodiorite
The Brandy Hot Granodiorite is the sole member of the Brandy Hot Supersuite, which intrudes the Etheridge Group, and crops out 20 km west of Georgetown (Withnall et al., 1997a). The sample is a felsic, I-type, porphyritic muscovite-biotite granodiorite. Bain et al. (1985) interpreted the Brandy Hot Granodiorite as Proterozoic in age (c.f. Forsayth Supersuite). Work by Holmes (unpublished) and Champion and Heinemann (1994) has shown it to be distinct, both chemically and in its gamma-ray spectrometric signature, from the surrounding granites of the Forsayth Supersuite, and to show both similarities and differences to Silurian granites in the region, which led to its classification as a separate Supersuite. This sample was collected on the eastern side of the track to the old Cumberland gold mine, just inside the gate of the fence along the Gulf Developmental Road. It consists of pinkish grey, coarse-grained, slightly porphyritic to seriate biotite granite-granodiorite with pink, subequant K-feldspar megacrysts to 2 cm.

Paralana Granodiorite
Paralana granodiorite
Paraphrased from Elburg et al. (2013): "Sample ARK674 comes from a small outcrop in the central southern Mt Painter Inlier of fine-grained, undeformed granite that consists of plagioclase, quartz, K-feldspar and biotite, with Fe-Ti-oxide, monazite, apatite and zircon as accessory minerals, in the general area of occurrence of the Gordon Springs Granodiorite (Teale, 1979). It is geochemically similar to the meta- to peraluminous granitoids of the British Empire Granite/Paralana granodiorite, and the Mudnawatana Tonalite in the more northerly Mt Babbage Inlier (Elburg et al., 2012). These samples classify as "calc-alkalic" in the modified alkali-lime index diagram of Frost et al. (2001). The zircon saturation temperature is 780C. ARK674 contains zircons that are typically 150 um, and rarely reach lengths of 300 um. Most of the zircons consist of a core and a rim that can be distinguished both in CL and back scattered electron (BSE) imaging. The core are as typically show better-defined oscillatory zoning than the rims, but more patchily zoned cores also exist. The cores vary from euhedral to more rounded. The rims vary in thickness from a few microns on the prism faces up to 60 um on the terminations. Rare zircons appear to consist of the "rim facies" only."

Campbell Springs Dolostone
The Campbell Springs Dolostone (within the Limbunya Group) consists of water-laid tuffite, interbedded dololutite, dolarenite, dolorudite and microbial dolostone tuff. The water-laid tuffite is pink-orange, up to 30 cm thick, laterally extensive and has been subjected to potassium metasomatism. The tuffite contains sedimentary structures such as rip-up clasts and lamination. The tuffite horizons in the field give conspicuous high total count gamma logs because of their relatively high potassium content. Sample 98776703 was collected near the base of the Campbell Springs Dolostone at the type section (north of Limestone Yard). This date (98776703) should fix the age of the basal Campbell Springs Dolostone and enable better correlations with other Proterozoic basins. This may provide baseline data to develop sequence stratigraphy and time-progressive sedimentation models for the Limbunya Group.

Seale Sandstone
The Seale Sandstone (Wattie Group; Sweet et al., 1974a, b; Beier et al., 2002; Dunster and Ahmad, 2013a) conformably overlies the Gibbie Formation and has a gradational contact with the conformably overlying Timber Creek Formation of the Bullita Group (Dunster and Cutovinos, 2002). The unit consists predominantly of medium-grained quartz sandstone deposited under high energy, shallow marine transgressive conditions. It is 111 m thick in WAVE HILL and known to contain live oil (Dunster and Ahmad, 2013a). The Seale Sandstone contains up to 10–15% feldspar, clay and chert fragments, and is strongly cross-stratified (Sweet et al., 1974a, b; Beier et al., 2002; Cutovinos et al., 2002). The unit is poorly exposed and was sampled from locally derived rubbly debris adjacent to the Buntine Highway. At this location the Seale Sandstone is a reddish, ferruginous, medium- to fine-grained lithic sandstone, with symmetrical ripples preserved on bedding surfaces.

Gwydir River Monzogranite
Porphyritic medium-grained monzogranite comprising quartz (20%), alkali feldspar (25%), plagioclase (35%) and ferromagnesians (20%; subequal biotite and amphibole). Quartz (1 to 3 mm, some to 5 mm) is anhedral and interstitial, indicative of relative late crystallisation. Alkali feldspar (<4 mm) is fresh to mildly turbid, and weakly to variably perthitic with no microcline twinning. Biotite and amphibole (subequal in abundance) occur as dispersed grains and aggregates. Plagioclase comprises tabular to equant zoned crystals and aggregates Biotite (<3 mm; straw yellow to medium brown) forms very fresh and undeformed tabular crystals. Minor localised chloritisation (with secondary titanite) is present. Amphibole (from small to 3mm; pale green to light brown) is strongly birefringent and polysynthetically twinned. It also forms felted aggregates which may represent original pyroxene. Accessory phases include zircon and apatite (the latter as stumpy to small thick lathy crystals to 0.2 mm). Opaques to 0.1 mm are sparsely distributed and associated with biotite. The low magnetic susceptibility of the sample indicates that magnetite is not present.

This sample is a strongly porphryritic monzogranite. Strongly porphyritic rock comprising phenocrysts of alkali feldspar, plagioclase and quartz in a microcrystalline groundmass. Phenocrysts range in size from groundmass (0.05 to 0.1 mm) to 1 cm or larger (though typically 1 to 2 mm) and comprising ~60% or higher of the rock. In thin section the grainsize distribution is seriate. Quartz (20%), alkali feldspar (25%), plagioclase (40%), amphibole (15%), biotite (~3%). Alkali feldspar phenocrysts to 1 cm are water clear with areas of turbidisation and perthite exsolution. Zoning is present and most of the crystals comprise large simple twins. Plagioclase phenocrysts to 5 mm are equant to tabular in form with some forming glomeroporphyritic aggregates. They are multiply to complex twinned and show some compositional zonation. Prominent cores are only occasionally developed. Amphibole crystals (pale green to brown green, occasionally aqua-green) comprise typically felted recrystallised aggregates, mostly after pyroxene. Euhedral apatites, zircon, opaques and secondary titanites are present. Biotite (<1 mm; straw yellow to chocolate brown) is subordinate and occurs as isolated flakes and shreds. Chloritisation of the margins is common. Some relict clinopyroxene (<1 mm) is present are relict cores in the amphiboles. Opaques range up to 0.3 mm with ilmenite shapes. The low magnetic susceptibility of the sample indicates that magnetite is not present. Areas of dense opacity in some of the amphiboles may represent opaques after pyroxene breakdown reactions.

Gilgai Granite
This sample is a mildly seriate, coarse grained syenogranite comprising quartz (25%), alkali feldspar (40%), plagioclase (35%) and ferromagnesians (<5%, biotite > amphibole). The seriate texture is less pronounced than that of 200801601 with the groundmass (generally >0.4 mm) comprising less than 50% of the rock. Graphic intergrowths and grain boundary decorations are generally absent. Alkali feldspars are strongly perthitic with simply twinned. Rims of polysynthetically twiined albite suggest a peritectic relationship. Biotites (straw yellow to dark chocolate brown) forms fresh subhedral laths. Amphibole (0.1 to 0.5 mm; straw yellow green to dark apple green) comprises crystals and aggregates associated with titanite and allanite. Titanite (<2 mm) forms fresh, pleochroic prominent subhedral crystals associated with amphibole. Allanite (<0.5 mm, rounded to euhedral, strongly zoned and metamict) tends also to be associated with amphibole. Zircon comprises small euhedral crystals. Opaques (<0.2 mm) form equant euhedra spatially associated with the ferromagnesians. Secondary carbonate (colourless with very strong absorption) replaces some plagioclase cores. Fluorite (colourless with rare purple tints) is uncommon.

Mount Hogan Granite
The Mount Hogan Granite is thought to be part of the Forsayth Supersuite, the largest known accumulation of Proterozoic granite in northern Australia (Withnall et al., 1997a). The Supersuite is Mesoproterozoic (~1550-1555 Ma) based on U-Pb zircon (conventional and SHRIMP) and Rb-Sr methods (Black and McCulloch, 1990; Black and Withnall, 1993). Previous Rb-Sr whole rock age determinations on the Mount Hogan Granite proved inconclusive (Black and Holmes, unpubl.). Black and Withnall (1993) provided a U-Pb zircon age of 1549 ± 25 Ma, which they interpreted as the emplacement age of the granite. A fresh sample of pink-grey, coarse-grained biotite monzogranite was collected from mostly weathered boulder outcrops located along a small creek exposure. The sample was sparsely K-feldspar porphyritic (up to 3 cm, zoned and of random orientation), seriate, with plagioclase, grey-blue quartz (anhedral to 1 cm), coarse biotite flakes, and magnetite (magnetic susceptibility values: 555-873 x 10-3 SI units; six readings). The outcrop is intruded by a number of micro-aplite, pegmatitic and mafic dykes. The eastern part of the exposed Etheridge Province contains a number of shear-related mineral deposits hosted by Proterozoic granites, including the Au-U Mount Hogan deposit. This deposit consists of thin (2-600 mm) en echelon quartz veins within sericite-chlorite altered Mount Hogan Granite (Denaro et al., 1997). The Mount Hogan Granite has a very high background gamma-ray spectrometric signature, and the uranium in these deposits was probably mobilised from the granite (Withnall et al., 1997a). The sample was collected in order to determine the crystallisation age of the Mount Hogan Granite. It also provides a maximum age for mineralisation.

Einasleigh Metamorphics - gneiss
A fresh sample of grey, garnet-biotite monzogranite was collected for SHRIMP geochronology. Sparse garnets, up to 6 mm in diameter, occur within an incipiently banded fabric defined by biotite (~8-10%). This is a magnetite-series I-type granite, and is highly magnetic (magnetic susceptibility values: 1390-2300 x 10-3 SI units; 11 values). The outcrop is veined by pink monzogranite and pegmatite. This unit is unnamed and has not been classified.

Mount Neill Granite
unnamed metasedimentary rocks
Elburg et al. (2012) paraphrased: "The main mineral in most outcrops of the hyperaluminous rocks is a ferromagnesian mica, varying from black to pale brown in colour, as a reflection of varying Fe/Mg ratios. Corundum and spinel are the most common highly aluminous minerals, sometimes occurring as 10-cm diameter "eggs" in which the inner part consists of white corundum and the outer part of blue-grey spinel. However, corundum is more typically blue in colour, with subordinate white and pink varieties. Spinel varies from blue-grey to greenish in hand specimen. Cordierite is a less common phase, and sapphirine and sillimanite occur locally. The mutual relationships between these minerals are complex, but essentially, the rock-forming minerals document progressive Mg-metasomatism and desilicification. Common accessory phases are magnetite/hematite, the latter often occurring as exsolution from spinel, rutile/anatase, monazite/xenotime and zircon. Tourmaline occurs occasionally, and appears to have formed relatively late.

Blue Hole Formation
The Blue Hole Formation is located near a W-flowing tributary of Moonbool Creek, 8 km ENE of Kirkimbie Homestead on the Napier 100k sheet. It is flanked by a N-trending fault to the W and an anticlinal structure to the E. The unit comprises tuffite, interbedded and laminated purple dolomitic siltstone and dolomitic mudstone, and is stromatolitic near the upper and lower boundaries. The thickness in drill core is 78 m but this is not a complete section. In outcrop, the unit has a maximum thickness of about 133 m. The Blue Hole Formation is conformably overlain by the Campbell Springs Dolostone and conformably overlies the Farquharson Sandstone. All of these units belong to the Limbunya Group. The Campbell Springs Dolostone comprises silicified stromatolitic dolostone, minor maroon shale and some light pink tuffaceous intervals. The Bluehole Formation contains upper and middle tuffaceous units up to 16 cm thick. The sample chosen for dating comes from the upper Blue Hole Formation, from an outcrop that strikes 360 degrees and dips 40 degrees W. Dating of the tuff will fix the age of the Blue Hole Formation, which is currently unknown, and provide a top age for the Limbunya Group. The occurrence of tuffaceous horizons in the Blue Hole Formation is rare.

Parlour Mountain Leucomonzogranite
This sample is a porphyritic leucocratic monzogranite comprising quartz (30%), alkali feldspar (40%), plagioclase (25%) and biotite 5%. Porphyritic to seriate quartz, two feldspars and some biotite occur in an often graphic groundmass (average 0.5-1.0 mm). Quartz (<4mm) is rounded with well developed embayments, septa and graphic outgrowths of optically continuous quartz. Incipient development of skeletal forms is present. The alkali feldspars (<6mm) are pink, strongly turbid and coarsely perthitic in places. Simple twins are prominent and swapped rims and 'Manhattan' textures are well developed. Plagioclase (<6mm) comprises sodic, squarish, multiply/simply twinned zoned crystals and glomeroporphyritic aggregates. They are less turbid than the alkali feldspars. Sericitisation is absent. Biotites (straw to chocolate brown) form tabular to elongate scattered crystals and aggregates to 4mm, though are usually <1mm and pseudohexagonal in the groundmass. Alteration to chlorite, opaques and secondary titanite is well developed. Strongly pleochroic well formed crystalline epidote infills some miarolitic cavities (<2mm) which are lined by late feldspar and fluid inclusion rich zoned quartzes. Cavities are also filled with dark apple green chlorite. Accessory phases include zircon, xenotime, apatite and opaques.

biotite granite -[informal_name: Kent Granite]- Stratigraphic unit inferred from 1:1M Surface geology of Australia GIS. Pink medium-grained equigranular biotite syenogranite. General outcrop very strongly jointed and partially altered with relatively common (quartz-) chlorite veins/fractures with large euhedral pyrites (to 6 mm). Pyrites locally disseminated through granite. Granular to very mildly granoblastic texture, with an hypersolvus mineralogy of alkali feldspar (45-60%) and quartz (40-55%), with minor (<4%) altered biotite. Alkali feldspar: subhedral, locally euhedral grains, clouded nature, strongly perthitic with an interlocking texture (up to 50:50), albitic component locally showing albite twinning, thin swapped rims often developed along K-feldspar-K-feldspar contacts. Quartz: anhedral, mildly to locally moderately undulose. Biotite: present as minor (<4%) ragged and irregular flakes, all chloritised, the latter associated with minor fluorite and rutile. The only obvious accessory phases are the opaque minerals - often hematitic and disaggregating. Contains fine veinlets of fine grained granitic material (K-feldspar, albite and quartz).

This sample was collected from large bedrock outcrops on the left bank of Buffalo Brook, about 40 m upstream of the bridge on Gipps Creek Road, about 6 km west-southwest of Rossarden, central eastern Tasmania. The sample is a coarse-grained equigranular-seriate white biotite granite with sparse to rare tabular K-feldspar phenocrysts (to 60 x 15 mm). Some cream to brown discoloration of feldspar and orange ferruginous alteration occurs along well-spaced joints, and the outcrop also contains aphyric microgranite dykes. In thin section the rock consists mainly of slightly turbid K feldspar microperthite, clear to slightly turbid plagioclase (to ~An10) and quartz, with common biotite and ragged anhedral muscovite, minor anhedral tourmaline and accessory topaz. Biotite contains abundant zircon inclusions, and some has been altered to chlorite.

Tabletop granitoid complex
A large body of leucogranite crops out over an area of 9 x 5 km, about 11 km east-northeast of Curara Soaks (No. 24 Well) on the Canning Stock Route. The granite consists of coarse-grained pink K-feldspar phenocrysts up to 1 cm long in a medium grained matrix of quartz, feldspar and biotite. The leucogranite is overprinted by a variably developed, but pervasive northwesterly to west-northwesterly trending foliation defined by biotite folia and a preferred orientation of elongate K-feldspar phenocrysts. This foliation appears to be related to a splay from the Camel-Tabletop Fault Zone that passes along the southern margin of the leucogranite body, with the main fault zone itself some 9 km further to the southwest. The leucogranite is intruded by unfoliated north-northeasterly trending and west-northwesterly trending dolerite dyke sets of unknown age and an elongate thicker body of dolerite sub-parallel to the west-northwesterly dykes. The leucogranite was sampled near its southern margin (MGA 544495E 7448640N). In thin section, the granite consists of coarse-grained K-feldspar phenocrysts wrapped by a foliation defined by biotite and fine-to medium-grained recrystallised quartz K-feldspar and plagioclase. Biotite is commonly altered to epidote and chlorite and accessory apatite, zircon and titanite are present.

unnamed granite intruding Kanandra Granulite
This unit is a garnet-bearing, dominantly leucocratic biotite-quartz-feldspar granite, with a weak to moderately-developed gneissosity. It outcrops as one of a number of moderate-sized coherent bodies intruding the Kanandra Granulite in the Mount Swan area. At this locality, the Kanandra Granulite occurs as a garnet-bearing biotite-quartz-feldspar +/- sillimanite metapelitic gneiss interlayered with pods and thin horizons of mafic granulite. The garnet-bearing granite is inferred from field relationships to have been derived from the surrounding metasedimentary gneiss as a pooled melt during peak metamorphic processes in the Kanandra Granulite domain. A sample was collected in an attempt to date this tectono-metamorphic event (probable Strangways Event).

Ickert and Williams 2011 paraphrased: "The dominant rock types in the Berridale–Kosciuszko region are granodiorite and granite, with subordinate tonalite. Gabbroic and dioritic rocks are rare and only occur in association with plutons of the Jindabyne Suite, or as small stocks in the metasedimentary screen between the Berridale and Kosciuszko Batholiths (Hine et al. 1978). Cross-cutting relationships constrain the relative ages of three pulses of magmatic activity. The earliest phase is represented by two, small volume I-type granodiorite plutons intruded to the south, the Finister and Merumbago plutons. The Finister pluton is cut by the I-type Buckleys Lake pluton and the S-type Numbla Vale pluton. Next are voluminous S-type granodiorite and granite, which typically occur as largely elliptical individual intrusions that combine to form large composite bodies."

Dalgety Granodiorite

The most mafic sample of the Dalgety pluton in this study is near a swarm of large (metre-scale) fine-grained mafic enclaves (White & Chappell 1989)."

unnamed amphibolite - Tabletop
Metabasite was sampled in the central-NW part of the Tabletop Zone (MGA 510849E 7471200N), with the aim of constraining the emplacement age of the low- to medium-grade metamorphosed mafic rocks in the area. Most of these mafic rocks are very poorly exposed, forming low areas of weathered subcrop marginal to areas of more resistant granitic rocks. In the area sampled, metabasite is relatively widespread, ranging in composition from medium-grained actinolite- or hornblende-bearing units to coarse-grained plagioclase-rich leucocratic variants interpreted to be derived from leucogabbro and anorthosite (Bagas, 1999). Locally, primary igneous textures defined by plagioclase laths are preserved, despite partial recrystallization under greenschist to lower amphibolite facies conditions, as indicated by the presence of actinolite and hornblende. The sampled unit consists of a relatively leucocratic, poorly exposed metabasite containing a weakly developed, steeply dipping WNW- trending foliation. Minor exposures of leucogranite also occur in the area of the sampled metabasite, but contacts are not exposed. A larger outcrop of leucogranite several metres wide occurs about 250 m to the E, with narrow veins of leucogranite within the metabasite indicating that the leucogranite intrudes the metabasite. Late-stage N-trending dolerite dykes also intrude the metabasite c. 1.5 km to the NE. In thin section, the metabasite consists of medium-grained assemblage of actinolite and minor hornblende with plagioclase and lesser quartz. The plagioclase is strongly saussuritized, altered to a fine-grained mosaic of zoisite, sericite, epidote and albite. Small irregular domains up to a few millimetres thick within the metabasite are quartz-rich, with quartz grains forming small isolated aggregates and thin laminae within the foliated metabasite. In places, very small inclusions with pleochroic halos within amphibole appear to be zircon, though their small size makes identification uncertain.

Coolyia Creek Granodiorite

clinopyroxenite

Boxwell Granodiorite
Medium grained mildly porphyritic quartz monzodiorite composed of quartz (15%), plagioclase (45%) alkali feldspar (20%), subequal amphibole and biotite (15 to 20%), and opaques (~1%). Quartz is late to interstitial and encloses smaller crystals of amphibole, plagioclase and alkali feldspar. Only minor strain and subgrain formation within the quartzes is present. Plagioclases (1 cm) are well zoned and tabular to mildly elongate. Rare cores to the plagioclases are replaced by albite and a strongly birefringent (absorption) colourless carbonate. Aligned inclusions of tabular plagioclase (<0.2 mm) are common within the larger plagioclase crystals. Alkali feldspar is late crystallising and anhedral or infilling between plagioclase and amphibole euhedra. It is partially turbid with moderate perthite development. Amphibole (1 to 2 mm; pale straw to medium brown-green, sometime blue-green) forms subhedral to euhedral crystals and large aggregates to 5 mm with biotite, opaques and minor secondary titanite. Biotite is light to chocolate brown. Accessories include opaques, zircon and apatite.

Mingimarny Granite
The Mingimarny Granite is exposed as an isolated stock (~5 km2) about 95 km northwest of Stanthorpe. The sample collected consists of little altered, white to buff, fine-grained, moderately porphyritic, leucocratic biotite monzogranite. Biotite (~2-3%) is the main mafic mineral. K-feldspar (white) is more abundant than plagioclase. The cores of some plagioclase grains are partly replaced by calcite. The presence of sparse, irregular miarolitic cavities implies the monzogranite was emplaced at relatively shallow levels in the crust. The Mingimarny Granite represents another leucogranite in the New England region, and is well removed from other granitic units. Contacts with the adjacent basement rocks are not exposed, the monzogranite being surrounded by unconsolidated to poorly consolidated sandy sediments of Tertiary-Quaternary age.

Jibbinbar Granite
The Jibbinbar Granite is a discrete stock (~7km2) west of the main granite belt. The Greymare Granodiorite and Bullaganang Granite, which also crop out around the periphery of the main granite belt have recently yielded relatively old (early Permian) SHRIMP ages. The leucogranites in the Stanthorpe region have previously been interpreted as having been emplaced relatively late in the magmatic cycle (i.e.late Permian-early Triassic). The sample was collected from the summit of Jibbinbar Mountain and represents the least altered material in a unit dominated by extensively altered and intensely jointed outcrops. It is a buff, fine- to medium-grained, moderately altered, leucocratic biotite syenogranite. The syenogranite contains abundant turbid K-feldspar, as well as minor plagioclase, chlorite (in interstices and after biotite), epidote (mainly after plagioclase), secondary titanite, and opaques.

Wallangarra Volcanics
The Wallangarra Volcanics are a 300-450 m thick sequence of rhyolitic to rhyodacitic ignimbrites and lavas intruded by the ~247 Ma Stanthorpe Granite and overlain by the Dundee Rhyodacite. Barnes and others (1991) and Purdy (2003) consider the Wallangarra Volcanics to be closely related to the Emmaville Volcanics in the central New England region. Both units were placed into the Late Permian Wandsworth Volcanic Group by Barnes and others (1991). Rocks associated with this group are dominantly calc-alkaline, terrestrial ignimbrites to shallow marine volcanics. The sample collected for SHRIMP U-Pb analysis is a rhyolitic ignimbrite comprising moderately abundant white feldspar phenocryst fragments with lesser biotite and quartz in a blue-grey siliceous matrix. It is strongly welded with numerous silicified pumice clasts that include larger, euhedral phenocrysts. Feldspars in the sample are sericitised and dominated by alkali feldspar with lesser plagioclase. It was collected from a road cutting on the eastern side of the New England Highway 4 km north of its junction with Wallangarra Road. This sample was selected for age dating to establish its temporal relationship with other units of the Late Permian Wandsworth Volcanic Group.
