“…There is a general petrological similarity between the Kuttung rocks of the Werrie Basin and the Lower Hunter Valley, but laminite sequences of varve or varve-like character are more extensively developed in the Hunter Valley region. The full range of structures described herein was not observed by Whetten (1965).…”

Glacial-Marine Sedimentation

A number of different criteria for recognizing glacialmarine deposits and for distinguishing them from other glacial and nonglacial deposits exist. These are outlined in this paper. Unfortunately, most investigations of inferred glacial-marine sequences have relied on only a few of these criteria, and the criteria used vary with different investigators. Also, some major misconceptions about glacial-marine sedimentation exist; these are the result of our poor understanding of modern glacial-marine environments. As a result, there is dispute over the origin of many diamictite-and/or lonestone-bearing sequences. This paper attempts to define the spatial and temporal distribution of glacial-marine deposits. The objective was to stress the importance of these deposits by the nature of their great spatial and temporal distribution. This has been a difficult task, again, because there is seldom any good consensus as to the origin of diamictites and pebbly mudstones. Glacial-marine deposits are surely widespread, both in time and space, but the very controversy that stems over their interpretation is an equally important point in stressing that high latitude seas are perhaps the most complex and poorly understood sedimentary environment on earth.3

“…Upper Carboniferous rocks are dominantly terrestrial and result largely from fluvial piedmont sedimentation (McKelvey & White, 1968). Lacustrine and fluvioglacial deposits have been recognized (Carey, 1937;Whetten, 1965;White, 1968) and ashfall tuffs and ignimbrites are widespread. Volcanic flow rocks are rare, but the great bulk of the debris is of volcanic origin, mainly dacitic but including also important andesitic and rhyodacitic contributions.…”

Two major divisions of the New England Fold Belt, Zone A and Zone B, are separated by the Peel Fault. Deposition in these two zones was probably contemporaneous (Lower Palaeozoic -Lower Permian). Terminal orogenesis in both zones was also contemporaneous (Middle Permian) but whereas in Zone A deformation was only moderate, metamorphism was of burial type, and granitic emplacement was uncommon, in Zone B many rocks were severely deformed and regionally metamorphosed, and both syn-tectonic and post-tectonic granites are widespread.Pre-orogenic palaeogeography is envisaged in terms of an evolving volcanic chain -fore-chain basin -trench system, with an outer non-volcanic arc developed in the Carboniferous. Cessation of movement on a subduction zone dipping westward beneath the volcanic chain is believed to have caused the Middle Permian deformation, but neither metamorphism nor the granitic rocks are directly related to subduction.
