(v) ABSTRACT A large number of irregular breccia bodies have been mapped in the Iate Precambrian and Early Cambrian sediments of the Adelaide Geosyncline. Although a diapiric origin was suggested in 1960, the complex internal history and varied settings of these bodies has lead to numerous interpretations as to their origin and the subject is still controversial. The interaction of a syn-sedimentary diapir with surrounding sediments creates a number of diagnostic features and a catalogue of these features has been assembled from literature studies. Sandbox modelling of the complete intrusive history of salt-type diapirs, a new technique applied to this study, has confirmed many of the previously recorded diagnostic features and added to the list. Detailed mapping and section measurement around seven breccia bodies in the Central Flinders Ranges, and comparison with more regional mapping, has found specific evidence of synsedimentary diapirism. In particular, the Bnorama Diapir shows facies irregularities throughout 4000m of adjacent sediments. Many of the features described in the literature were found and several new features added to the list. Reconnaisance mapping around another seven breccia bodies has confirmed that, while some cannot specifically be called diapirs, all are diapirically associated breccias. A geochemical signature has been found in sediments around several of the diapirs studied and this has led to the proposal of two models of sedimentation patterns around exposed diapirs at times of high and low sea level. Some of the diapirs in the Flinders Ranges have been grouped into "families" based on their mode of initiation and tectonic setting. Although there is no direct evidence as such, extensive circumstantial evidence suggests that the diapirism is related to widespread evaporite deposits near the base of the Adelaidean sequence. Shale movement may have also been associated with the salt diapirism. The salt moved during the deposition of the Adelaidean sequence, during the subsequent Delamerian Orogeny and in a few cases, has been remobiLized during the Mesozoic and may still be potentially mobile. It is suggested that, as diapirs are areas of relatively incompetent rock, they are the focus of 'later tectonic activity. ( vi) STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award or any other degree or diploma in any university and, to the best of my knowledge and belief , it contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made in the text. N.M, Lemon. (vii) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Vic Gostin, for all his assistance and helpful discussions throughout my candidature. A free rein throughout the fieldwork was greatly appreciated. My work was supported by a University of Adelaide Scholarship for the initial two years of full time candidature and by a teaching fellowship for the following three years. An Esso grant to Dr. Gostin provided aerial photographic and LANDSAT coverage of the study area. I also acknowledge the granting of a permit by the National Parks and Witdlife Service of S.A. to work within the Flinders Ranges National Park and the access to aII other areas by the local leaseholders. The Etectricity Trust of South Australia provided aerial photo coverage of the Leigh Creek area. I greatly benefitted from continuous interaction with my fellow students, Peter Haines and Updesh Singh, and from discussions in the field with many of the people who I have shown around, such as the participants of the Twelfth International Sedimentological Congress Field Trip, Dr. Wouter Nijman and Dr. Grant Young. Previous workers on similar topics also provided assistance and suggestions on where to map. These i¡clude Ron Coats, Wolfgang Preiss, Bob Dalgarno and Trevor Mount. I would like to thank the following technical staff of the department: Sherry Proferes (draughting), Rick Barrett (photography), Geoff Trevelyan (thin section preparation), Phil McDuie (XRF and AA analysis) and John Stanley ( XRD and XRF analysis ) . In particular, I would like to thank my wife and mother for their support throughout the years. The assistance and accomodation in the field provided by Beryt and Gordon Mclntosh and BiII and Jane Mclntosh of Gum Creek Station was invaluable. t vrlr, CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION The Nature of the Problem Early geological workers in the Central and Northern Flinders Ranges recognized zones of brecciated rock which did not appear to be part of the general sedimentary sequence and were difficult to put into stratigraphic context.

    Trans-Lithospheric Diapirism Explains the Presence of Ultra-High Pressure

    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-021-00122-w OPEN Trans-lithospheric diapirism explains the presence of ultra-high pressure rocks in the European Variscides ✉ Petra Maierová1 , Karel Schulmann1,2, Pavla Štípská1,2, Taras Gerya 3 & Ondrej Lexa 4 The classical concept of collisional orogens suggests that mountain belts form as a crustal wedge between the downgoing and overriding plates. However, this orogenic style is not compatible with the presence of (ultra-)high pressure crustal and mantle rocks far from the plate interface in the Bohemian Massif of Central Europe. Here we use a comparison between geological observations and thermo-mechanical numerical models to explain their formation. 1234567890():,; We suggest that continental crust was first deeply subducted, then flowed laterally under- neath the lithosphere and eventually rose in the form of large partially molten trans- lithospheric diapirs. We further show that trans-lithospheric diapirism produces a specific rock association of (ultra-)high pressure crustal and mantle rocks and ultra-potassic magmas that alternates with the less metamorphosed rocks of the upper plate. Similar rock asso- ciations have been described in other convergent zones, both modern and ancient. We speculate that trans-lithospheric diapirism could be a common process. 1 Center for Lithospheric Research, Czech Geological Survey, Prague 1, Czech Republic. 2 EOST, Institute de Physique de Globe, Université de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France. 3 Institute of Geophysics, Department of Earth Science, ETH-Zurich,

Abstract: Geological structure changes, including deformations and ruptures, developed in shallow marine sediments are well recognized but were not systematically reviewed in previous studies. These structures, generally developed at a depth less than 1000 m below seafloor, are considered to play a significant role in the migration, accumulation, and emission of hydrocarbon gases and fluids, and the formation of gas hydrates, and they are also taken as critical factors affecting carbon balance in the marine environment. In this review, these structures in shallow marine sediments are classified into overpressure-associated structures, diapir structures and sediment ruptures based on their geometric characteristics and formation mechanisms. Seepages, pockmarks and gas pipes are the structures associated with overpressure, which are generally induced by gas/fluid pressure changes related to gas and/or fluid accumulation, migration and emission. The mud diapir and salt diapir are diapir structures driven by gravity slides, gravity spread and differential compaction. Landslides, polygonal faults and tectonic faults are sediment ruptures, which are developed by gravity, compaction forces and tectonic forces, respectively. Their formation mechanisms can be attributed to sediment diagenesis, compaction and tectonic activities.

Through a series of events that went wrong while cooking dinner at her apartment in Thailand on 11 April, 2018 Victoria was rushed to a Thai hospital suffering 30% burns to her upper body. 37 year old Victoria is sharing her story through the Coober Pedy Regional Times, reaching out to thank many of those who came to her aid and to perhaps inspire others who may be facing a serious life challenge of their own. Throughout this ordeal (far from over) Victoria has shown strength and courage that might rival some of history’s finest women warriors. Victoria relived her ordeal for our story: “I was heating up a pot of oil on a portable burner, which is what I use for cooking at home in Chiang Mai Thailand.

In this study, we combine 2D structural restorations with thermal modeling to investigate the dynamic history of salt movement and its thermal effect in the Nordkapp Basin, a confined salt-bearing basin in the Norwegian Barents Sea. Two sections, one across the central sub-basin and another across the eastern sub-basin, are modeled. The central sub-basin shows deeply rooted, narrow and closely spaced diapirs, while the eastern sub-basin contains a shallower rooted, wide, isolated diapir. Variations through time in stratigraphy (source rocks), structures (salt diapirs and minibasins), and thermal boundary conditions (basal heat flow and sediment-water interface temperatures) are considered in the model. Present-day bottom hole temperatures and vitrinite data provide validation of the model. The modeling results in the eastern sub-basin show a strong but laterally limited thermal anomaly associated with the massive diapir, where temperatures in the diapir are 70 ◦C cooler than in the adjacent minibasins.

    Arc magmas sourced from mélange diapirs in subduction zones Horst R. Marschall a;b;∗ John C. Schumacher c aDepartment of Geology & Geophysics, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA 02543, USA bDepartment of Earth and Planetary Sciences, American Museum of Natural History, New York, New York, USA cDepartment of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol, Wills Memorial Building, Queen’s Road, Bristol BS8 1RJ, UK Abstract At subduction zones, crustal material is recycled back into the mantle. A certain proportion, however, is returned to the overriding plate via magmatism. The magmas show a characteristic range of compositions that have been explained by three-component mixing in their source regions: hydrous fluids derived from subducted altered oceanic crust and components derived from the thin sedimentary veneer are added to the depleted peridotite in the mantle beneath the volcanoes. However, currently no uniformly accepted model exists for the physical mechanism that mixes the three components and transports them from the slab to the magma source. Here we present an integrated physico-chemical model of subduction zones that emerges from a review of the combined findings of petrology, modelling, geophysics, and geochemistry: Intensely mixed metamorphic rock formations, so-called mélanges, form along the slab-mantle interface and comprise the characteristic trace-element patterns of subduction-zone magmatic rocks. We consider mélange formation the physical mixing process that is responsible for the geochemical three-component pattern of the magmas. Blobs of low-density mélange material, so-called diapirs, rise buoyantly from the surface of the subducting slab and provide a means of transport for well-mixed materials into the mantle beneath the volcanoes, where they produce melt.

Salt diapirs have become the focus Talbot & Alavi provide new insights into the in- of attention in the last forty years, because of their ternal deformation patterns in salt from mesoscopic observations in deformed bodies. Shear zones are strategic importance in controlling hydrocarbon commonly developed parallel to bedding in potassic reserves, and their unique physical properties enable storage of hydrocarbons and toxic waste. horizons (Sans et al.), where the salt becomes Their economic importance is unique on the Earth's gneissose with X:Z axial ratios of crystals reaching commonly around 4:1 in Zechstein salt (Smith), surface, as evaporites in the Middle East are and Red Sea diapirs (Davison et al., Fig. 1). responsible for trapping up to 60% of its hydro- carbon reserves (Edgell). Relatively undeformed halite layers are carried laterally (Smith) and upwards as rafts between Salt also produces some of the most complex and beautiful deformation features on the Earth's shear zones into diapirs (Bnrliga), and undeformed surface, although few of these surface exposures halite rafts are often transported in a highly-sheared have been examined in detail.
