摘要:
Large outcrop areas in the Canning Desert and the Fitzroy Valley of northwestern Australia consist of marine Jurassic and Upper Triassic rocks, not of Permian as formerly believed. On present knowledge, outcrops of the Triassic formations are restricted to parts of the Fitzroy and Bonaparte Gulf Basins, whereas the distribution of Jurassic (Kimmeridgian to Tithonian) rocks provides evidence for a major marine invasion that affected the Canning Desert area and may have advanced into the centre of the Australian continent and beyond. The late Jurassic transgression did not enter the Fitzroy Basin area.
