Abstract

The purpose of this short report, together with the accompanying field guide, is to present the results of structural mapping from three areas: the Four Archers Fault near Nathan River homestead (Stops 1 & 2), the Lorella Fault at Lorella Springs (Stop 3) and the Coppermine Creek Fault at the Coppermine Creek prospect (Stop 4; Fig. 1). The NW part of the Batten Trough was originally mapped by Plumb & Paine (1964) but has recently been remapped by Rawlings et al. (1993) and Haines et al. (1993). This excellent data base has enabled the project to focus in on areas of special structural and sedimentological interest in the Tawallah Group. Our research has concentrated on the basal rather than middle or upper sequences, because the processes and evolution recorded here have important ramifications for the McArthur basin as a whole. A detailed description of one of the localities (ie., Lorella Springs) has been already been given in report No. 4 (Keele 1993), otherwise many of the aspects of the structure discussed here are new and have not been reported before. Work is continuing in all three areas.
