ORIGIN AND GENESIS OF CALCRETE IN THE MURRAY BASIN

The Murray Basin is a shallow intracratonic sedimentary basin composed of a Cainozoic sedimentary succession that reaches a maximum thickness of 600 m in the central region (Brown & Stephenson 1991). Sedimentation was initiated with the separation of Antarctica and the southern margin of Austral...

Summary:The Murray Basin is a shallow intracratonic sedimentary basin composed of a Cainozoic sedimentary succession that reaches a maximum thickness of 600 m in the central region (Brown & Stephenson 1991). Sedimentation was initiated with the separation of Antarctica and the southern margin of Australia (Cande & Mutter 1982) and is part of the Murray Sequence that extends from the Tertiary to the Present.
