Devonian of the Anakie High Area, Queensland, Australia

E. J. Malone

Abstract

Three Devonian sequences are recognised in the Anakie High area. Mainly lower Middle Devonian clastics, carbonates and volcancis form the northern end and crop out on the eastern flank and southern plunge of the Anakie High which consists mainly of pre-Devonian metasediments and Devonian intrusives. The lower Middle Devonian rocks are unconformably overlain by an Upper Devonian acid to intermediate volcanic unit, which is succeeded by thick, mainly freshwater sediments of Upper Devonian to Lower Carboniferous age. Major folding and intrusion took place about the end of the Middle Devonian, followed by epeirogenic down-warping in the Late Devonian and strong folding about the middle of the Carboniferous.
