Reconnaissance Geology of the Frenchman's Cap National Park

Abstract

Rccconnaissance geological mapping of the Frenchmans Cap National Park confirms the presence of Precambrian metasedimentary assemblages representative of the Franklin, Mary and Scotchfire Groups and has documented part of their distribution. The structural succession of rock groups is shown to be, in descending onder-Franklin, Mary and Scotchfire. It is suggested that the Scotchfire Group is a stratigraphic equivalent of the Joyce Group but of slightly lower metamorphic grade.
