Rift-to-drift history of the Wombat Plateau, northwest Australia: Triassic to Tertiary Leg 122 results

Abstract

During the early Mesozoic, northwest Australia was a passive margin of eastern Gondwana facing the southern Tethys sea. A transect of four Ocean Drilling Program sites (759, 760, 761, and 764) across the Wombat Plateau and existing high-quality seismic data have enabled the syn-rift and post-rift structural and palaeoenvironmental evolution of eastern Gondwana to be evaluated. -from Authors
