A pre-cursor extensive Miocene reef system to the Rowley Shoals reefs, Western Australia: evidence for structural control of reef growth or natural hydrocarbon seepage?

Abstract: Numerous Miocene reefs and related carbonate build-ups have been identified in the Rowley Shoals region of the central North West Shelf, offshore Western Australia. The reefs form part of an extensive Miocene reef tract over 1,600 km long, which extended northward into the Browse and Bonaparte basins and southward to North West Cape in the Carnarvon Basin—comparable in length to the modern Great Barrier Reef. Growth of the vast majority of these Miocene reefs failed to keep pace with relative sea-level changes… Show more

“…Liu et al (2011) also interpreted possible Miocene reefs based on seismically imaged mounds in the same area. Ryan et al (2009) acknowledged the dearth of post-Miocene and pre-late Quaternary reefs in the region. However, Jones (1973) and Ryan et al (2009) described an unnamed postMiocene drowned "fossil" reef imaged using shallow-and deeppenetration seismic data close to the Rowley Shoals ( Figure F1).…”
