Petrology of Ultramafic and Related Rocks from Mt PETROLOGY OF ULTRAMAFIC AND RELATED ROCKS FROM MT. LIGHTNING, NEAR GUNDAGAI, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA. By A. S. Ray, M.Sc. A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY, 1977. ABSTRACT A rock assemblage in the Mt. Lightning area of the Coolac Serpentine Belt in south-eastern New South Wales has been mapped and studied by means of petrographic and chemical techniques. The principal lithologies include massive to locally foliated, partially serpentinized, olivine-rich harzburgites, with deformed and recrystallized textures, containing consistently Mg-rich olivine {Fo89 _92} and enstatite {En87_90 } with subordinate diopside and chrome-spine!. These rocks are associated with blocky and sheared lizardite- chrysotile serpentinites. Massive and variolitic varieties of low-potash spilites containing tholeiitic pyroxenes as inferred from chemical compositions, occur within and flanking the serpentinites. Smaller rock masses enclosed by, or flanking the ultramafic rocks, include low-iron rodingites of two genetic groups, a series of low-potash feldspathic rocks ranging from quartz-rich trondhjemites to quartz-poor albitites, and both er-rich and Al-rich chromitites. Group 1 rodingites containing grossularite, vesuvia­ nite, chlorite and relict diopside, and characterized by high Cr {> 200 ppm} and Ni {> 150 ppm} contents, and high Cr/V ( > 2) and Mg/Fe (> 2) ratios, are considered to be metasomatized mafic rocks. Group 2 rodingites are reaction zone products that formed at contacts of spilite and ultra- mafic rocks. They contain zoisite, prehnite, chlorite and grossularite but lack vesuvianite and relict pyroxene, have low er ( <. 40 ppm) and Ni ( <. 50 ppm) contents, and low Cr/V ( < 1) and Mg/Fe (<1.5') ratios. The trondhjemitic rocks are devoid of k-feldspar and are typically K2o-poor ( <. 0. 8 wt%) ; they are considered to be alteration products of dioritic parents. The ultramafic-mafic-sedimentary rock assemblage at Mt. Lightning accords with that of an ophiolite in which the harzburgite represents the basal member. The mineral chemistry and textures of the harzburgite also accord with a status as upper mantle residue. It is therefore possible that the Mt. Lightning rock assemblage represents a fragment of Lower Palaeozoic oceanic lithosphere with part of the crustal section missing. A partial melting model of upper mantle is tentatively proposed for the generation of the principal and minor rock types at Mt. Lightning. The ultramafic rocks are considered to be refractory residues from partial melting processes. At lease two stages of partial melting might have taken place - a low degree (~ 5% by volume) of partial melting producing the gabbroic parent (s) of Group 1 rodingites and a relatively high amount (~ 20% by volume) of melting giving rise to the tholeiitic parent of the spilites. Differentiation of the latter tholeiitic magma is believed to have resulted in dioritic rocks from which the trondh­ jemites and albitites were derived. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have received much assistance from a large number of people. To one and all I express my thanks, However, I would like to pay special tribute to the following people who assisted me greatly:- • Dr. H.G. Golding who acted as my Supervisor. I am most indebted to him for all his personal help, encouragement and constant guidance during the course of my present study. The numerous discussions that I had with him on . this topic have all provided me with an invaluable help. With all confidence I can say that without his supervision this work could never have been completed. • Dr. B.J. Hensen, Dr. P.C. Rickwood and Dr. M.B. Katz with whom I had helpful discu­ ssions from time to time. • Prof. T.G. Vallance of the University of Sydney with whom I had valuable discussions on spilitic rocks. • Dr. B.J. Franklin who provided the facili­ ties to take microphotographs at the Institute of Technology. • Dr. B. Chappell and Mr. R. Freeman of the Australian National University, Dr. R. Flood and Mr. G. Pooley of the Macquarie Univer- sity for X-ray fluorescence analys~s, and from the University of New South Wales: Mr. F. Scott for electron microprobe analyses, Ms G. Chorley and Mr. M. Walker for wet chemical analyses, Mr. G. Small for assistance with photography and Ms M. Clark for typing the tables. My list of acknowledgements would not be complete without my payins tribute to the late Professor J.J. Frankel who provided me with the initial inspira­ tion to commence this thesis.

Initial investigations along some belts have revealed a high degree of internal lithologic diversity that precludes a rapid appraisal of their detailed petrology. For such occurrences a number 2 of restricted or "type" areas may be selected for detailed study, each study contributing to the overall picture.

Each of the ophiolite or other been named "ophiolite" in the complex Southeast Asia region of mafic-ultramafic associations is listed in Table 1, with brief reasons Sundaland.

For much of the first World War, the small French village of Vignacourt was a staging point, servicing the battlefields on the Somme. Remember me: the lost diggers of Vignacourt tells the story of how one enterprising photographer took the opportunity of the passing traffic to establish a business taking portraits. Captured on glass, printed into postcards and posted home, the photographs made by the Thuillier family enabled Australian soldiers to maintain a fragile link with loved ones in Australia. The amazing “find” of these images in a long- forgotten attic, led to their recovery and what followed was a story of careful treatment and printing, and an ongoing search for names for the faces portrayed many of whom sadly did not make it home. The exhibition showcases a selection of the photographs as handmade traditional darkroom prints and draws on the Australian War Memorial's own collections to tell the story of these men in their own voices. An Australian War Memorial Touring Exhibition.
