The Permian-Triassic (Gondwanan) basins and foldbelts along the Panthalassan margin of the Gondwanaland province of Pangea developed on a basement of Proterozoic and Paleozoic rocks in Antarctica and southern Africa and on a basement of foldbelts terminally deformed at the end of the Devonian (360 Ma) in southern South America and in the mid-Carboniferous (320 Ma) in eastern Australia. With the latest Carboniferous (290 Ma) onset of Pangean extension I, deposition resumed after a lacuna in Gondwanaland with glacigenic sediment. Together with post-Hercynian Europe on the other side of Pangea, postorogenic eastern Australia was subjected to continuing dextral transtension that produced an orocline, related pull-apart basins, and widespread volcanism.
