  • Notes on the Glacial Beds of Freestone- Bluff (Sandy Cove) Near Wynyard
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Tasmania Open Access... NOTES ON THE GLACIAL BEDS OF FREE- STONE-BLUFF (SANDY COVE) NEAR WYN- YARD. (PL. IX., X., XL, XII.) By Fritz Noetling, M.A., Ph.D., etc. (Read October i8th, 1909.) (i) HISTORICAL SUMMARY. The first description of the geological features of the coast near Wynyard was given forty years ago by Mr. T. Stephens (i) in a paper read before this Society. In this paper Mr. Stephens drew special attention to the conglomerates at the mouth of the Inglis, and, after mentioning the occurrence of large angular blocks of granite and porphyry, he goes on to say—" These mas- sive blocks of granite and other rocks which are not now found in situ within several miles of their present position, I consider to furnish more conclusive evidence of glacial agency in the geological history of Tasmania ." than I have m^et with elsewhere. As— to the age of this conglomerate, Mr. Stephens says : " It under- lies unconformably the tertiary freestone, which has been determined by Professor IVE'Coy to be of mlbcene age, and it contains boulders derived from rocks which are certainly not older than the lower carboniferous' or Devonian period."' Mr. Stephens was therefore the first to recognise the glacial origin of the " cong"lomerate " near Wynyard, and, though he does not exactly say so, the inference from the above passages is that he considers these beds to be of carboniferous age. Mr. Stephens, though per- haps not the first who advocated a palaeozoic glacial period, was certainly among the first who did so, and.

The mineralogy and petrology of basalts near Boat Harbour, NW Tasmania, are described as this sequence is unusual for Tasmanian Tertiary basalts. The rocks are more sodic and evolved basalts carry more prolific anorthoclase and zircon megacrysts than is normal in Tasmania. Older nephelinites and melilite-nephelinites (26-27 Ma) and younger nepheline hawaiites and mugearites (14-15 Ma) are present and fission track zircon ages (l3-14 Ma and 8-9 Ma) demonstrate that zircon was erupted during and after the evolved basalts.

L. Sutherland, L. R. Raynor and R. E. Pogson (with one plate, two text-figures and eight tables) Sutherland, F. L., Raynor, L. R. & Pogson, R. E. 2005 (16:xii): Table Cape vent xenolith suite, northwest lasmania: Mineralogy and implications for crust-mantle lithology and Miocene geotherms in Tasmania. Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania 139: 7-22. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.139.7 ISSN 0080-4703. Mineralogy & Petrology, Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney, New South Wales 2010 Australia (FLS*, REP); deceased (LRR). *Author for correspondence. The Miocene Table Cape vent erupted a diverse mantle-crust xenolith suite within its fractionated nephclinitic matrix. Assemblages include mantle metaperidotites, garnet-metawebsterites and rarer garnet-metadinopyroxcnites, garnet-metawehrlires, metawcbstetites and crustal two-pyroxene granulites. Most metapyroxenites and granulites representthe Ti-Al-bearing augite suite and their bulk geochemistry indicates transitional olivine basalt magmatic affinities. Metasomatised, hydrous lithologies are only rarely present. Co-existing pyroxenes in the xenoliths provide re-equilibration temperature estimates from 860-1075°C (forthe whole suite) and temperature-pressure estimates forthe garnet metawebsterites from 1055-1070°C and 1.2-1.4 GPa. This gives a Miocene mantle geotherm gradient at least 80-l 30°C higher than the Southeast Australian (SEA) western Victorian geotherms. However, considerations of Moho depths from new seismic surveys below Table Cape (�32 km) suggest that the indicated geotherm is more strongly pcrrurbed in its lower levels than at the mantle-crust transition.

  • Flora of Table Cape
    173 FLORA OF TABLE CAPE by J.H. Willis (with two plates and an appendix) Historical notes are provided on the original vegetation of Table Cape before its alteration by extensive agricultural clearing, as well as a description of the current vegetation. Floristic details of the four major current habitats arc given. A census is presented of 248 species of vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens, including exotics, recorded at thc Cape bctwccu 1832 and 1967. Key Words: flora, Table Cape, early vegetation, vascular plants, bryophytes, lichens, Tasmania. In BANKS, M.R. et al. (Eds), 1991 (31:iii): ASPECTS OF TASMANIAN BOTANY -A Tf?IBUTE TO W/11/lFRFD CURTIS. Roy. Soc. Tasm. Hobart: 173-178. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.124.2.173 INTRODUCTION The northwestern coast of Tasmania, between Burnie and Robbins Island, is interrupted by three bold equidistant bluffs - Table Cape near Wynyard, Rocky Cape, and Circular Head (or The Nut) at Stanley; all were given these names by Captain Matthew Flinders on 5 December 1798 (Flinders 1814). Table Cape and The Nut have much in common, both consisting of basalt, rising about 150 m above the sea and formerly carrying lofty eucalypt forest. Intervening Rocky Cape is quite different - white quartzite of Precambrian origin, with a predominantly heathland flora rich in species (at least 260 indigenous kinds, including 46 orchids). Floristic accounts of the vegetation on The Nut and Rocky Cape were published by Willis (I 966) and Firth (1969) respectively. It is, thus, appropriate that some record be made of the plants, both native and naturalised, known to inhabit the Table Cape promontory.

The species that comprise a morphostatic radiation in southeastern Australia of the hydrobiid genus Austropyrgus Cotton are described using shell, opercular, anatomical and radular characters, and the genus is redefined. The previously described taxa have been included under several generic names, including Fluvidona (now a separate genus), Rivisessor, Pupiphryx and Angrobia, which are now treated as synonyms of Austropyrgus.
