    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.

E-mail: [email protected] (Received 25 January 2008; revision accepted 26 September 2008) Abstract–Darwin glass formed by impact melting, probably during excavation of the 1.2 km diameter Darwin crater, Tasmania, Australia. The glass was ejected up to 20 km from the source crater and forms a strewn field of >400 km2. There is at least 11,250 m3 of glass in the strewn field and relative to the size of the crater this is the most abundant ejected impact glass on Earth. The glass population can be subdivided on the basis of shape (74% irregular, 20% ropy, 0.5% spheroid, 6% droplet, and 0.7% elongate) and color (53% dark green, 31% light green, 11% black, and 5% white). The white glasses contain up to 92 wt% SiO2 and are formed from melting of quartzite.

Yields depend on grain High. consisting of fine to medium grain size sand. POROUS size, clay content and the thickness of saturated material. Yields decrease with an increase in the clay content. Groundwater is usually extracted from these aquifers using spear (INTERGRANULAR) HIGH bores installed to a depth of 7-8 metres. A single spear in a prospective area may yield 0.75 L/s (e.g. Currie area) which would be sufficient for domestic, garden, and stock use. A nest of spear bores (10-20) using a central pump may yield irrigation or small town supplies (7-15 L/s). Significant extraction from these deposits takes place at Currie, where the town supply comes from dune sand, and at Stanley where the golf club installed a system to water the course. Other areas including Woolnorth, Stanley, Arthur River and Peggs Beach have proved to have potential for useful supplies.

The Government has issues with the approach taken to identifying values within the proposed boundary. In addition, pursuant to section 324JJ (5)(b) of the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, 1999, the Government wishes to draw to the attention of the Minister that it believes serious immediate and long term social impacts should be taken into account which would occur in an already depressed region of Tasmania resulting from the closure of key industries such as mining and forestry.
