- correlations have been reported with either mainland Australia or North America. We used detrital zircon age spectra,
- measured by LAM-ICP-MS, of Neoproterozoic and Cambrian sandstones in Tasmania to search for evidence of
- correlations with these two continental blocks during the time slice critical to Rodinia breakup. The Tasmanian
- sandstones are dominated by 1600-1900 Ma and 1200-1500 Ma age zircons. There is little evidence for Grenville
- (~1100 Ma) and Ross (~550 Ma) Orogen sources in these sandstones, in contrast to detrital zircon age spectra of
- similar age rocks in South Australia. The detrital zircon age spectra of Tasmanian sandstones are different from age
- spectra reported from British Columbia. They are very similar to age spectra reported from Cambrian sandstones of
- Nevada, supporting Rodinia reconstructions that place southwestern USA near to Tasmania in the

It lies at the
- boundary between Australia and North America in most Rodinia reconstructions but no reliable lithostratigraphic
- correlations have been reported with either mainland Australia or North America. We used detrital zircon age spectra,
- measured by LAM-ICP-MS, of Neoproterozoic and Cambrian sandstones in Tasmania to search for evidence of
- correlations with these two continental blocks during the time slice critical to Rodinia breakup. The Tasmanian
- sandstones are dominated by 1600-1900 Ma and 1200-1500 Ma age zircons. There is little evidence for Grenville
- (~1100 Ma) and Ross (~550 Ma) Orogen sources in these sandstones, in contrast to detrital zircon age spectra of
- similar age rocks in South Australia. The detrital zircon age spectra of Tasmanian sandstones are different from age
- spectra reported from British Columbia. They are very similar to age spectra reported from Cambrian sandstones of
- Nevada, supporting Rodinia reconstructions that place southwestern USA near to Tasmania in the
- Neoproterozoic.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" border="0" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">zircon; age; Rodinia; tectonics; Tasmania Australia</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/260100.html">260000 Earth Sciences > 260100 Geology</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Collections:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">UNSPECIFIED</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">670</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">Mr Ruben Chan</span></span></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited On:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">01 Feb 2007</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Last Modified:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">23 Jan 2008 14:26</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ePrint Statistics:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a target="ePrintStats" href="/es/index.php?action=show_detail_eprint;id=670;">View statistics for this ePrint</a></td></tr></table><p align="right">Repository Staff Only: <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/cgi/users/home?screen=EPrint::View&eprintid=670">item control page</a></p>
