    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.

    Forests Agreement Bill 2012, Hobart 5/2/13 (M.Mansell/Maynard/C.Mansell) 1 the Legislative Council Select Committee on the Tasma

    THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE TASMANIAN FORESTS AGREEMENT BILL 2012 MET IN COMMITTEE ROOM 1, PARLIAMENT HOUSE, HOBART ON WEDNESDAY 6 FEBRUARY 2013. Mr MICHAEL MANSELL, CHAIR, Ms SARA MAYNARD, TASMANIAN ABORIGINAL CENTRE, AND Mr CLYDE MANSELL, CHAIR, ABORIGINAL LAND COUNCIL OF TASMANIA, WERE CALLED, MADE THE STATUTORY DECLARATION AND WERE EXAMINED. CHAIR (Mr Harriss) - Welcome. You are familiar with parliamentary committees and that you are protected by parliamentary privilege while in here but not so outside these hearings. Clearly, if asked by the media for comment, you need to be cautious about how you respond to questions, or initiate your own comments with regard to the hearing. Michael first, please? Mr MICHAEL MANSELL - Thank you, Mr Chair, and thanks everybody for giving us the time to present to you a bit of an overview of how the Aboriginal community became involved in the talks about the forestry agreement in the first place, and what we had hoped to gain by that involvement, and where we are now as a result of the things that have taken place. In late 2011 we thought that the forestry agreement would probably require Forestry Tasmania, or the forestry industry, asking for Forest Stewardship Council certification. We understood at the time that was an internationally recognised body, and therefore the certification that came from it attaching to forest products would be of benefit to the industry. I wrote to Forestry Tasmania as a starting point of wanting to have talks with industry. I can't remember the content of the letter, but I think I essentially said that the Aboriginal community had an interest in this.

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.

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.
