  • Geochemistry of Darwin Glass and Target Rocks from Darwin Crater, Tasmania, Australia
    Meteoritics & Planetary Science 43, Nr 3, 479–496 (2008) AUTHOR’S Abstract available online at http://meteoritics.org PROOF Geochemistry of Darwin glass and target rocks from Darwin crater, Tasmania, Australia Kieren T. HOWARD School of Earth Sciences, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Tasmania 7000, Australia Present address: Impacts and Astromaterials Research Centre, Department of Mineralogy, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] (Received 1 March 2007; revision accepted 25 July 2007) Abstract–Darwin glass formed about 800,000 years ago in western Tasmania, Australia. Target rocks at Darwin crater are quartzites and slates (Siluro-Devonian, Eldon Group). Analyses show 2 groups of glass, Average group 1 is composed of: SiO2 (85%), Al2O3 (7.3%), TiO2 (0.05%), FeO (2.2%), MgO (0.9%), and K2O (1.8%). Group 2 has lower average SiO2 (81.1%) and higher average Al2O3 (8.2%). Group 2 is enriched in FeO (+1.5%), MgO (+1.3%) and Ni, Co, and Cr. Average Ni (416 ppm), Co (31 ppm), and Cr (162 ppm) in group 2 are beyond the range of sedimentary rocks. Glass and target rocks have concordant REE patterns (La/Lu = 5.9–10; Eu/Eu* = 0.55–0.65) and overlapping trace element abundances. 87Sr/86Sr ratios for the glasses (0.80778–0.81605) fall in the range (0.76481–1.1212) defined by the rock samples. ε-Nd results range from −13.57 to −15.86. Nd model ages range from 1.2–1.9 Ga (CHUR) and the glasses (1.2–1.5 Ga) fall within the range defined by the target samples.

    Tenth Legion Mine Botanical Survey and Fauna Habitat Assessment Comstock 25 th September 2019 PAS095 Andrew North [email protected] Philip Barker [email protected] 163 Campbell Street Hobart TAS 7000 Telephone 03. 6231 9788 Facsimile 03. 6231 9877 SUMMARY Comstock is proposing an iron ore mine two kilometres to the west of the old Comstock mine site, near Zeehan in western Tasmania. The Tenth Legion mine occupies approximately 36.1 hectares. Approximately 1.2 hectares are within the Heemskirk Regional Reserve and the balance is currently managed by Forestry Tasmanian as a Permanent Timber Production Zone. The State forest may be reserved in the future under the Tasmanian Forests Agreement. The State forest is available for mineral resource development under the MRDA 1995. This report presents the findings of a botanical survey and threatened fauna habitat assessment of the site. Vegetation Of the 36.1 hectares (ha) surveyed, 0.6 is modified vegetation and 35.5 ha is native vegetation that will potentially be impacted by the development of the Tenth Legion mine. Nine native vegetation communities were recorded including: • Eucalyptus nitida dry forest and woodland (DNI) – 0.8 ha • Eucalyptus obliqua dry forest (DOB) – 7.8 ha • Buttongrass moorland with emergent shrubs (MBS) – 2.4 ha • Western buttongrass moorland (MBW) – 12.8 ha • Restionaceae rushland (MRR) – 7.2 ha • Leptospermum forest (NLE) - 0.1 ha • Nothofagus - Phyllocladu s short rainforest (RMS) - 1 ha • Eucalyptus nitida forest over Leptospermum (WNL) – 2.2 ha • Eucalyptus obliqua forest over rainforest (WOR) -1.2 ha Flora No threatened flora were recorded within the survey area.
