New SHRIMP U-Pb zircon ages from the southern Thomson Orogen, northern Lachlan Orogen and Koonenberry Belt: April 2014–June 2016

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

SHRIMP U-Pb zircon ages are presented from 19 samples from the central and southern Thomson Orogen, northern Lachlan Orogen and Koonenberry Belt of northern New South Wales and southern Queensland. The analysed samples are predominantly (meta)sedimentary rocks, for which detrital zircon age spectra are presented, but also include selected intrusive and volcanic rocks, for which magmatic crystallisation ages are determined. The work was conducted as part of a collaborative project between Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Geological Survey of New South Wales (GSNSW) and the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ), with a focus on the southern Thomson Orogen.
