Abstract.
The Delamerian Orogen formed at the final stages of assembly of the Gondwana supercontinent. This system
re
marks the initiation of subduction of the Pacific oceanic lithosphere along a prior rifted and extended passive
lP
margin. This paper explores the magmatic consequences following the early Cambrian initiation at the palaeo-Pacific margin in South Australia (SA) and western Victoria. Our data reveal a 50 Ma syn- to post-
na
Delamerian tectono-magmatic history. Sampled from drill core from beneath the eastern Murray Basin cover in eastern SA, boninitic high Mg andesite from drill hole KTH12 and 516.1±2 Ma quartz diorite suggest that
Jo ur
first subduction established a volcanic arc within easternmost SA. Pacific-ward trench retreat then resulted in arc migration to reach the Mt Stavely Belt and Stawell Zones in western Victoria by ~510 Ma where boninitic arc magmatism continued until ~490 Ma. In the SA foreland of the Delamerian Orogen, early (522 ± 4 Ma) alkali basalt gave way to intrusion and extrusion of MORB-like tholeiites of back-arc basalt character. Through much of the middle and late Cambrian the SA Delamerian was in the back-arc and under extension but with periodic compression resulting from periodic Pacific-Australian plate coupling beneath the forearc in western Victoria. In SA syn-tectonic I- and S-type granites reflect interaction of MORB-like back-arc magmas and their transported heat with continental-derived sediment of the Kanmantoo Group. The termination of the Delamerian orogeny at ~490 Ma was accompanied by buoyancy-controlled, exhumation and erosion. This
1
Journal Pre-proof was driven by delamination of a mafic, crustal underplate, whose re-melting at 1.5 to 2 GPa and 1050oC generated the unique 495 ± 1 Ma Kinchina/Monarto adakite. Delamination resulted in lithospheric mantle thinning and local convective overturn allowing upwelling of the asthenosphere to drive the post-kinematic magmatic phase of the Delamerian, yielding voluminous 490 Ma – 470 Ma A-type granites.
2. Introduction 2.1 The Supercontinent Cycle
of
Nance et al. (1988), building on ideas by Worsley et al. (1984; 1986) realised that the plate tectonic evolution
ro
of ocean basins divided into those oceans that opened and closed at approximately their same location—as
-p
Iapetus appears to have done (Wilson, 1966). These introverted oceans broke up and reformed larger continental masses in the same general location. Whilst other ocean basins were longer lived and only closed
re
when, a major supercontinent extroverted and dispersed, later coalescing in a different configuration at a
lP
vastly different location. This became the genesis of the supercontinent cycle, where continents periodically recombine either by introversion or extroversion. In both extroversion and introversion, continent
na
coalescence due to subduction of oceanic lithosphere, in front of the leading edges of continental fragments, requires the trailing margins of the assembled continental plates to eventually change from rifted passive
Jo ur
margins to subduction margins (Nance et al., 2014). This involves the ‘spontaneous’ development of new subduction zones (Stern and Gerya, 2018). There is an important distinction between those orogenic zones that result from the convergence, collision and suturing of accreting continental fragments that come together to form new supercontinents, and those orogens formed at the ocean-facing trailing margins of these fragments. Each of these scenarios should be characterised by a unique and distinctive time series of magmatic events. The late Neoproterozoic to Cambrian Delamerian-Ross-Saldanian Orogen (Scheepers et al., 2002, S. African Journal of Geology, 105, 241-256) was formed along the palaeo-Pacific margin coeval with the assembly of continents that were mostly derived from rifting of the earlier Rodinian supercontinent (Merdith et al., 2017a). This a key example of the development of an orogeny formed at an ocean-facing passive margin that transits to become a subducting margin (Foden et al., 2006). In this paper we examine
2
Journal Pre-proof the geochemical and petrogenetic response of Cambrian magmatic rocks from the South Australian and western Victorian sector of the Pacific–facing Gondwanan margin to this critical transition.
2.2 Pacific-Facing Margin of Gondwana The Neoproterozoic to early Cambrian assembly of the Gondwana supercontinent was achieved by a series of subduction-controlled ocean closures and arc accretions (Collins and Pisarevsky, 2005; Meert, 2003; Merdith et al., 2017a). Regular accretion and minor collision occurred around continents that became
of
Gondwana through the Neoproterozoic, but the main amalgamation of Gondwana was focussed at the end of
ro
the Ediacaran and into the Cambrian (580–520 Ma, Collins and Pisarevsky, 2005; Li et al., 2008; Merdith et al., 2017a; Schmitt et al., 2008). These amalgamations created the palaeo-Pacific-facing southern
-p
Gondwanan margin that ran continuously from northeast Australia to the Kalahari craton margin in southern
re
Africa and on to southern South America via the south-facing margin of East Antarctic. This southernmost
lP
edge of the newly agglomerated Gondwana had an initially passive margin with respect to the Pacific until the period between the late Neoproterozoic to mid Cambrian during which time progressive onset of
na
subduction took place reflected as the Saldanian-Ross-Delamerian orogenies. These events marked the start of the long-lived orogenic system on this Pacific margin establishing the so-called Terra Australis Orogen
Jo ur
(Cawood, 2005). Some evidence (Foden et al., 2006) suggests that initiation of this orogenic system may have commenced first in the west around the margin of the Kalahari Craton in southern Africa, forming the Ediacaran Saldanian Orogeny followed by the Antarctic Beardmore/ Ross orogenies and finally extending eastwards to the Australian mid–late Cambrian Delamerian Orogeny (Boger and Miller, 2004; Foden et al., 2006; Goodge et al., 2012).
3. The Delamerian and its Magmatic Record in NSW, Victoria, SA & Tasmania The Delamerian Orogeny resulted from the Cambrian tectonic inversion (to become a subducting plate margin; e.g. Foden et al., 2006, Finn et al., 1999) of the Neoproterozoic and early Cambrian sedimentdraped, rifted, cratonic margin of Australia. It initiated the characteristic tectonic style that has characterised the west Pacific margins to the present day. This character is one of repetitive ocean-ward slab rollback and
3
Journal Pre-proof upper plate extension with relatively brief interludes of upper plate compression and deformation. The Delamerian Orogen is characterised by craton-ward (now westward) vergent folding and thrusting (Flöttmann et al., 1998), by localised low P-high T metamorphism and migmatite development (e.g. Alias et al., 2002; Dymoke and Sandiford, 1992; Offler and Fleming, 1968; Schwindinger and Weinberg, 2017) and is associated with a complex magmatic history with ages ranging from early Cambrian to early Ordovician (Foden et al., 2006; Foden et al., 2002a; Gray et al., 2002; Johnson et al., 2016; Kemp, 2003; Lewis et al., 2016; Mortensen et al., 2015).
of
The character of the Delamerian was strongly influenced by the Rodinian break-up history that preceded it and formed the palaeo-Pacific-facing passive margin. The first stages of continental rifting are
ro
recorded in South Australia by the Callana Group, the earliest unit of the Adelaidean Supergroup (Preiss,
-p
2000). This group hosts the ~830 Ma (Wingate et al., 1998) Wooltana-Depot Creek tholeiites (Crawford and
re
Hillyard, 1990) Direen and Crawford (2003) suggested that there was a second phase of rifting at ~585 Ma, which generated the Mt Arrowsmith alkali basalts in western NSW. They interpreted this to mark onset of
lP
accelerated drift and the production of a magmatic passive margin with recognisable seaward-dipping
na
reflectors. Although other authors dispute this explanation (Gibson et al., 2015) there are other Australian examples of ~585 Ma magma-rich passive margin fragments, notably on King Island (Direen and Jago,
Jo ur
2008; Meffre et al., 2004). Recently, Merdith et al. (2017b), demonstrated that a late separation of Laurentia from Australia is not kinematically feasible using Phanerozoic plate velocities. These authors strongly support a late Tonian or earliest Cryogenian formation for the Pacific. In Australia, elements of the Cambro-Ordovician Delamerian Orogen can be identified fringing the rifted margin of the older Palaeo- to Mesoproterozoic cratonic basement from northern Queensland to Tasmania. This belt was contiguous with the Antarctic Ross Orogen exposed in Northern Victoria Land and the Transantarctic Mountains continuing across Antarctica to the Weddell Sea and then to southern Africa (Cawood, 2005; Greenfield et al., 2011; Stump, 1995) and to the Sierra de la Ventana region of Argentina. In southern Australia, the Delamerian is exposed in South Australia (see below), in the Koonenberry belt of western New South Wales (Direen and Crawford, 2003; Greenfield et al., 2011; Johnson et al., 2016) and in the Glenelg (Gibson and Nihill, 1992; Gray et al., 2002; Kemp, 2003; Turner et al., 1993) and Mt Stavely (Bowman et al., 2019; Crawford et al., 2003; Squire et al., 2006) terranes in western Victoria. Tectonic

Journal Pre-proof events synchronous with the mainland Australian Delamerian are also recognised in Western Tasmania, sometimes referred to as the Tyennan Orogeny, (e.g. Berry et al., 2007), though its provenance and the timing of its arrival at the Gondwanan margin remain in debate (Cayley, 2011; Moore et al., 2016). Rocks in Tasmania preserve a complex history of Cambrian deformation and metamorphism of Neoproterozoic metasediment-dominant terranes (Berry et al., 2007; Meffre et al., 2000) associated with early to midCambrian tholeiite and boninite production (Crawford and Berry, 1992) and the late Cambrian, largely felsic to intermediate composition Mt Read volcanics (Crawford et al., 1992; Mortensen et al., 2015).

The Delamerian Orogen is most widely exposed in South Australia and is described in an extensive literature. Formed by the middle to late Cambrian deformation (Flöttmann et al., 1998; Flöttmann et al.,

re
the outcropping orogen is referred to as the Adelaide Fold Belt (AFB). It is exposed to form the Flinders Ranges to the north, becoming the Adelaide Hills further south towards Adelaide and then running further
lP
south as the Fleurieu Peninsular and curving west to form Kangaroo Island. This topographic exposure of the
na
Cambrian orogen in South Australia is a neotectonic feature due to Cenozoic uplift (Sandiford, 2003) and exposes only the foreland of the orogen (Flöttmann et al., 1998). Only 50 km further to the west on the
Jo ur
Gawler Craton, Neoproterozoic and early Cambrian strata are thinly bedded and undeformed. The TMI imagery (Fig. 2) clearly indicates that the orogen is ~300 km wide eastwards from the Adelaide Hills to the Mt Stavely belt at its eastern margin at the western edge of the Lachlan Fold Belt. This margin is defined by the Moyston and Stawell-Ararat faults in western Victoria (Foster et al., 2009; Gray and Foster, 2004). There is very little outcrop across much of this eastern two thirds of the belt and within South Australia most of this obscured terrane is mantled by cover of Mesozoic to Cenozoic terrestrial and shallow marine sediments of the Murray Basin. Facilitated by sampling opportunities provided by quite numerous drill core intersections of the Cambrian basement beneath the Murray Basin cover (Figs. 1,2 ; Table 1), this study aimed to provide a more complete geochemical coverage of igneous activity spanning the gap between the orogen’s foreland in the exposed ABF and its Cambrian Pacific margin to the east. The TMI image also clearly shows the northward extension of the Delamerian belt. It swings sharply northeastwards (the Loch Lilly-Kars Belt; Greenfield et al., 2011) around the projecting Palaeoproterozoic
5
Journal Pre-proof Curnamona Craton before swinging back north westwards to form the Bancannia Trough, the Wonnaminta Zone and the Kayrunnera Zone that make up the Koonenberry Belt (Greenfield et al., 2011; Johnson et al., 2016).
3.1 Adelaide Fold Belt. Outcrop in the Southern Adelaide Fold Belt (SAFB) records a dramatic early Cambrian shift in the basin architecture and sedimentary record (Preiss, 2000) and provenance (Ireland et al., 1998). The Cambrian
of
Normanville Group consists of carbonates and records rapidly increasing water depth towards the thin-
ro
bedded turbidites of the Heatherdale Shale, which have recently been dated at 514.98 ± 0.22 Ma (Betts et al., 2018). The Normanville Group hosts the Truro Volcanics (Foden et al., 2002a; Forbes et al., 1972) a 522 ± 2
-p
Ma (Jenkins et al., 2002) suite of undersaturated anorogenic style alkali basalts. The Normanville Group is
re
overlain by the dramatic influx of thick-bedded siliciclastic-rich turbidites that mark the base of the
lP
Kanmantoo Group (Flöttmann et al., 1998; Haines et al., 2009; Jago et al., 2003). The very rapidly deposited Kanmantoo Group which marked the abrupt initiation of sediment supply to a very deep and necessarily
na
steep walled basin (Flöttmann et al., 1998). The provenance of this sediment was very different from that of the prior Neoproterozoic sequences and includes a new prominent 550–560 Ma source (Ireland et al., 1998;
Jo ur
Keeman et al., In submission). It occupies a wedge-shaped area in the south of South Australia. At its southern end it extends from western Kangaroo Island, east to the western Victorian Glenelg Terrane (Harvester’s Creek greywacke) and tapers to a closure in the state’s middle north. There is a large gap in its exposure to the east of the Adelaide Hills, where it is obscured by the Murray basin. The western part of the Delamerian Orogen is exposed in the AFB, where an early D1 fold-thrust phase of deformation is recognized (Flöttmann et al., 1998). This has been interpreted to have terminated Kanmantoo sedimentation, perhaps as early as ~515 Ma (Foden et al., 2006) or a little later (Betts et al, 2018). Evidence for further deformation continued until 490 ± 5 Ma (Foden et al., 2006). Associated with low P-high T metamorphism and magmatism, three distinct deformation episodes have been recognised within this time interval. The initial thrust-dominant D1 event was followed by D2 and D3 upright folding events (Alias et al., 2002; Flöttmann et al., 1998; Offler and Fleming, 1968).

Journal Pre-proof The outcropping AFB hosts both felsic and mafic intrusive magmatic suites (Foden et al., 2006; Foden et al., 2002a). Though not completely exclusive, by far the majority of the magmatic rocks intrude the Kanmantoo Group. In contrast to the Truro alkali basalt lavas in the Normanville Group the Kanmantoo Group hosts mafic sills or dykes of tholeiitic composition (Chen and Liu, 1996; Foden et al., 2002b; Liu and Fleming, 1990). The AFB also hosts syn-tectonic I- and S-type granite intrusions (Foden et al., 2006; Foden et al., 2002a; Foden et al., 2002b; Milnes et al., 1977) with ages in the range 515490 Ma. In the SAFB the last stage of Delamerian contraction at 490 ± 5 Ma was directly followed by undeformed 490485 Ma diorite
of
and felsic dyke intrusion. Further east, outcropping as isolated granite tors, an extensive suite of post-tectonic (<490Ma) A-type granites and volcanics with some contemporaneous mafic bodies can be found. These
ro
intrusions create the magnetically prominent 500 km Padthaway Ridge extending with NNW–SSE
re

orientation into SW Victoria (Turner et al., 1993; Turner and Foden, 1996; Turner et al., 1992).

3.2 Glenelg River Complex
The Delamerian Orogen obscured by the Murray Basin in the east of South Australia, reappears in outcrop in
na
the Glenelg River Province in western Victoria (Gibson et al., 2015; Gibson and Nihill, 1992; Gray et al., 2002; Kemp, 2003; Kemp et al., 2002; Turner et al., 1993). The Glenelg River Complex has a geological
Jo ur
history that closely matches that of the SAFB, though unlike the AFB it does contain fault-bound serpentinised peridotite bodies (Turner et al., 1993). The Harvester’s Creek greywacke is a siliciclastic turbidite sequence that is equated with the Kanmantoo Group and perhaps the Normanville Group (Gibson et al., 2015). The sequence has a poly-deformational history that also ceased at ~490 Ma and it hosts both synand post-tectonic I- and S-type granites (Kemp, 2003; Kemp et al., 2002). Like the Kanmantoo there are layer-parallel intrusive bodies of tholeiitic metagabbros with E- to N-MORB compositions as well as aluminous calc-alkaline gabbros (Gray et al., 2002). Gibson et al. (2015) also report alkaline mafic bodies in the metasedimentary sequence and these may be equivalent to the Truro volcanics in the SAFB. Significantly, Kemp (2003) reports gabbroic and dioritic syn- and post-deformation intrusions of boninitic affiliation.

Journal Pre-proof 3.3 The Mt Stavely Volcanic Complex The Mt Stavely Volcanic Complex (Crawford et al., 2003; Schofield et al, 2018, Lewis et al., 2016) is ~70 km east of the Glenelg River Complex. Described as a volcanic arc (Bowman et al., 2019; Foden et al., 2006), it comprises slightly metamorphosed basaltic, andesitic and dacitic lavas, dacitic porphyry and tuffs and volcaniclastic sediments ranging in age from 510 to 503 Ma (Lewis et al., 2016). Deformation ceased here at ~498 ± 5 Ma. (Bushy Ck.Granodiorite). The volcanics are within variably deformed siliciclastic sediment sequences (Nargoon Group and the Glenthompson Beds). The Mt Stavely Complex is
of
bound to the east by the Moyston Fault (Miller et al., 2005) and between this and the Ararat Fault a further
ro
20 km to the east is the Stawell Zone which hosts a sequence of Cambrian basalts (the Magdala Basalts, e.g.
-p
Squire et al., 2006).

3.4 The Koonenberry Belt.
lP
The Koonenberry Belt hosts a sequence of early to mid-Cambrian sedimentary units (Gnalta, Ponto and Taltawongee groups) that were deformed by the Delamerian Orogeny and which host syn-tectonic granite
na
(Williams Peak Granite; 515±2.4 Ma; Black, 2007) as well as a range of tuffs and volcaniclastic sediments and the calc alkaline, 508 ± 3 Ma Mt Wright Volcanics (Greenfield et al., 2011; Johnson et al., 2016; Mills,
Jo ur
1992). Here the Delamerian unconformity has a maximum age of 496.3 ± 3.1 Ma (Black, 2006) and is succeeded by post-tectonic mafic magmatism in the overlying Kayrunnera Group (Greenfield et al., 2011). In the Koonenberry Belt, Johnson et al. (2016) favour a model of west-dipping subduction commencement at 515 Ma, the same timing as that suggested by Foden et al. (2006) for the AFB.
4. Methods 4.1 U-Pb Geochronology Rock samples were crushed and the zircon fraction (sieved 79–425 μm) was separated by panning. Zircons were hand-picked and mounted in epoxy resin. Zircon U-Pb geochronology was undertaken at the University of Adelaide using an Agilent 7500 ICP-MS with attached New Wave Nd-YAG laser ablation system. A spot size of 29 µm and frequency of 5 Hz (fluence = 4.5J/cm2) was used. Isotopes 90Zr, 201Hg, 204Pb, 206Pb, 207Pb,

Pb, 232Th and 238U were measured. Each analysis comprised a 20s background and 30s ablation. GEMOC

Pb/235U = 602.0 ± 1.0 Ma; Jackson et al. 2004) was used to correct for U–Pb fractionation. The Plešovice
zircon standard (ID TIMS 206Pb/238U = 337.13 ± 0.37 Ma; Sláma et al., 2008) was used to assess accuracy over the course of the laser session; a total of 52 Plešovice standard analyses were made and yield a weighted average 206Pb/238U age of 338.41± 0.69 Ma (95% confidence limits) which closely matches the ID TIMS age. Data were corrected using GLITTER version 3.0 (Van Achterbergh et al., 2001) and Concordia diagrams

4.2 Ar-Ar Geochronology
Samples were loaded together with standard Hb3gr hornblende for which an age of 1073.6 ± 5.3 Ma was
-p
adopted (Jourdan et al., 2006) and were irradiated for 25 h in the Hamilton McMaster University nuclear
re
reactor (Canada). J-values were computed from standard grains. Mass discrimination was monitored using an automated air pipette. The correction factors for interfering isotopes were (39Ar/37Ar) Ca= 7.30 × 10− 4 (±
lP
11%), (36Ar/37Ar) Ca= 2.82 × 10− 4 (±1%) and (40Ar/39Ar) K= 6.76 × 10−4 (±32%). The 40Ar/39Ar analyses
na
were performed in the Western Australian Argon Isotope Facility at Curtin University using techniques previously described in detail (e.g. Li et al., 2014). For each sample, single crystal was step-heated using a
Jo ur
110 W Spectron Laser Systems, with a continuous Nd-YAG (IR; 1064 nm) laser rastered over the sample during 1 min to ensure a homogenously distributed temperature. Ar isotopes were measured in static mode using a MAP 215-50 mass spectrometer (resolution of ~450; sensitivity of 4 × 10−14 mol/V) with a Balzers SEV 217 electron multiplier using 9 to 10 cycles of peak-hopping. The raw data were processed using the ArArCALC software (Koppers, 2002) and the ages have been calculated using the decay constants recommended by Steiger and Jaeger (1977). Blanks were monitored every 3 to 4 steps and typical 40Ar blanks range from 1 × 10−16 to 2 × 10−16 mol. Ar isotopic data corrected for blank, mass discrimination and radioactive decay are given in Table 2. Individual errors are given at the 1σ level. Criteria for the determination of plateau are as follows: plateaus must include at least 70% of 39Ar. The plateau should be distributed over a minimum of 3 consecutive steps agreeing at a 95% confidence level and satisfying a probability of fit () of at least 0.05.

Journal Pre-proof 4.3 Nd-Sr Isotope Determinations Nd and Sm isotopes were measured with a Finnigan 262 thermal ionization mass spectrometer (TIMS) at the University of Adelaide. Sample powder weight (grams) was calculated on the basis of a nominal 2 μg of Nd. Isotope dilution mass spectrometry was facilitated by the addition of a 150Nd/147Sm mixed spike. Most Sr and all Nd whole rock isotopic ratios were analysed in the same Adelaide laboratory on a Thermo- Finnigan MAT 262 thermal ionisation mass spectrometer, following procedures described by Elburg et al.

5.1 Results of 40Ar/39Ar and U-Pb Zircon Dating Foden et al. (2006) summarised age constraints on the evolution of the Delamerian Orogen. In this paper we supplement this original data set with some new U-Pb LA-ICP-MS data from zircon and monazite (Table 3, Supplementary data Table S2 and Figures 4 and 5) and a 40Ar/39Ar determination on fabric defining metamorphic muscovite (Table 2; Fig. 3).
5.1.1 40Ar/39Ar: A sample was taken from the Harvey’s Return locality at the NW corner of Kangaroo Island (E–N). Here deformed amphibolite facies metasedimentary rocks of the Kanmantoo Group have been transported towards the Gawler Craton margin in the hanging wall of the major Kangaroo island thrust system, part of the
10
Journal Pre-proof regional D1 structural event (Flöttmann et al., 1998). The inter-bedded sandstone-mudstone 1–20cm sedimentary layering of the Kanmantoo Group has been recrystallised to prominent black and white pelitepsamite layers with prominent chlorite-absent, biotite and muscovite growth implying a metamorphic temperature of ~550oC (e.g. Tinkham et al., 2001), and defining the axial planar foliation of the northvergent recumbent folds. Three muscovite samples were separated for 40Ar-39Ar analysis at Curtin University and yielded a weighted plateau age of 502.4 ± 4 Ma. (Fig. 3). As the metamorphic temperature of muscovite growth in these samples are probably ~200oC > the 40Ar-39Ar closure T for muscovite (350oC; Harrison et al.,
of
2009), this is likely to be a cooling age. Even if a quite rapid cooling rate (20oC/m.yr) was assumed this implies that the age of tectonically imposed muscovite growth may have been 10m.y older than the cooling

age, suggesting the age of thrusting to be ~512 Ma (regional D1).

summarised in table 3. The analysed samples are: the Mannum granite (1109-7), the Marcollat Granite (JF07-118), the Mt Monster rhyolite porphyry (JF07-108), the granite at Monteith (KW08-15) and the
Jo ur
granite at Kongal Rocks (JF07-114b). These each yielded abundant zircons and using CL imagery showed well-defined magmatic concentric zonation. Concordia ages range between 486.1 ± 1 Ma (Kongal Rocks, JF07-114b) and 470.1 ± 1 Ma (Monteith Granite, KW08-15). Between these limits, the Mannum Granite has a 482.7 ± 2 Ma age, the Marcollat Granite a 478.2 ± 0.8 Ma age and the Mt Monster porphyry a 472.5 ± 1 Ma age (Fig 4). An undeformed granodiorite sample from drill hole PADD28 may also be a member of the Padthaway Ridge suite and has an age of 475.2 ± 1 Ma. (Fig. 4). These ages are all consistent with earlier data that suggest that convergent deformation of this part of the Delamerian Orogen ceased at about 490 Ma (Foden et al., 2006). A slightly foliated quartz diorite was sampled from the most southeasterly drill hole LD3, and yielded a concordia age of 516.1 ± 2 Ma. A granodiorite sample was also taken from hole PADD32 and this yield a lower intercept age of 513.4 ± 5.7 Ma. (Fig. 5)

Journal Pre-proof As discussed below, in contrast to all other granites in the belt, the Kinchina Quarry near Murray Bridge exposes sills of medium grained granite with distinctive adakite-like characteristics. The observed open folding and weak foliation and may be interpreted as late syn-tectonic (D2). New LA-ICP-MS data reported here on magmatic monazite separates yields a precise 495.0 ± 1.2 Ma age (Fig. 5). This is within error the same as a prior TIMS monazite age (492.8±1.3 Ma; Foden et al., 2006). A sample of the Lalkaldarno Porphyry was also taken from the Mt Stavely Volcanic Complex. This is a shallowly intrusive dacite porphyry and is apparently the youngest unit in the Mt Stavely volcanic
of
stratigraphy (Bowman et al., 2019) and yields a LA-ICP-MS U-Pb age on separated zircon of 504.7 ±2 Ma
ro
(Fig. 5). This is very consistent with recent SHRIMP data (Lewis et al., 2016).

5.2 Whole-rock Geochemistry
re
Based mostly on geochemistry, the transect of the Delamerian Orogen that includes South Australia and
lP
western Victoria hosts five distinctive mafic magmatic suites and at least five felsic suites that range in age
na
from Early Cambrian through to Early Ordovician (Table 4, Supplementary Data Table S1).
5.2.1 Mafic rocks in exposed outcrop.
Jo ur
Cambrian basalts and dolerites are exposed as outcrop in the southern part of the Adelaide Foldbelt (SAFB) in the Adelaide Hills and on Kangaroo Island as well as in the Glenelg and Stavely regions of western Victoria (Tables1, 4 & S1).
i) Alkali Basalts: In the Adelaide Hills the early Cambrian Normanville Group hosts basaltic lava flows of the Truro Volcanics (Foden et al., 2002a; Forbes et al., 1972) and mafic sills and dykes of tholeiitic composition intrude the late early Cambrian Kanmantoo Group. The Truro Volcanics (Fig 6) are highly alkaline, (originally) undersaturated basaltic lavas (Foden et al., 2002a). These are variably deformed, metamorphosed and altered. They mostly outcrop on the flanks of the Karinya syncline to the north and northeast of Adelaide near Dutton (328918N 6196408E) and at various places within the Normanville Group south of there (e.g. Red Creek). They are MgO-rich (>10%) and have high compatible element contents (Ni
12
Journal Pre-proof 200–300 ppm; Cr 405–600 ppm) and have high Mg# (0.65) values all suggesting these are near-primary unfractionated melts. They have high TiO2 and very high Nb (~100 ppm) and high LREE as well as high Nb/Y and Ce/YN values (~10). They have high Nd(i) values in the range +5 - +7.8 close to the expected contemporary DMM values of +8 (Fig 19; Table 5).
ii) Tholeiites: Intruding the Kanmantoo Group, this suite occurs as dykes and sills (Fig. 6). Liu and Fleming (1990) observe that their relative intrusive ages range throughout the D1 to D3 deformation history recorded
of
by the Kanmantoo Group. Members of this suite include the Woodside dykes in the Adelaide Hills, the Cape
ro
Hart dykes on Kangaroo Island, the mafic sills in the Monarto district and Kinchina quarry and mafic bodies in the Tanunda gneiss complex near the Barossa valley. These tholeiitic basalts (Fig 6) are moderately Mg-
-p
rich with between 6 and 9% MgO. Mg# values vary from ~0.65 down to ~0.45 in systematic covariation
re
with other elements that imply some degree of fractional crystallisation (Fig 6). As pointed out by Liu and
lP
Fleming (1990) Al2O3 seems to show two different trends with respect to decreasing MgO, one of enrichment (up to 21% Al2O3) and the other depletion. The two trends converge at the most primitive high
na
MgO samples with ~ 15.5% Al2O3. The most undifferentiated samples from this suite have > 100 ppm Ni, >400 ppm Cr and 30–35ppm Sc with quite low TiO2 (0.8–1%). These most mafic samples, which are close
Jo ur
to unfractionated primary mantle melts, also have low LREE (Ce ~15ppm) and low Zr (~50ppm). Highly compatible elements such as Ni and Cr show strong positive correlation with Mg#. Significantly, with respect to decreasing Mg#, Sc shows a trend of initial enrichment then followed by depletion. Those incompatible elements that are less likely to be impacted by mobility during metamorphism and alteration (e.g. REE, TiO2, Zr, Nb, Th) all show negative correlation with Mg# implying control by fractional crystallisation. These samples have flat REE patterns (Fig 7) in the range 10–20x chondrite. The normalised incompatible element patterns are also flat and somewhat MORB-like but differing in their slight enrichment of LIL elements and some negative Nb and positive Pb anomalies. They have Ti/V ratios in the range 20–50 (Fig 10). Their Nd(i) values are mostly in the range +2.5 – +7 (Table 5; Fig. 19), although some have lower values (-2.5 -1) probably reflecting continental crustal contamination.

Journal Pre-proof 5.2.2 Mafic rocks in Murray Basin drill core. Drill cores sampled for this project are listed in Table 1 and the composition of mafic samples is illustrated in Fig 6. Sampled mafic rocks from the Murray drill cores are dominantly volcanic but also include gabbros and dolerites. Included amongst these mafic Murray Basin samples are the gabbros, norites, monzogabbros and dolerites from Black Hill complex rocks sampled from North Broken Hill core (Turner and Foden, 1996; DDHs S1-S18). Samples range from strongly deformed with strong steep-dipping cleavage (eg. KTH012), to fresh undeformed, apparently post-tectonic lavas (e.g. holes WYN1, PADD28, PADD31, PADD32). As
of
illustrated (Fig. 6) the geochemical composition of the Murray Basin suites overlap the values of the
ro
outcropping ABF group, but also extend to more diverse compositions. The Murray Basin mafic suites are plotted with the SAFB data in three discrimination diagrams (Fig. 9 , Zr/4-2Nb-Y; Meschede,1986; Fig. 9,
-p
La/10-Y/15-Nb/8; Cabanis and Lecolle, 1989; Fig. 8, TiO2 v Y/Nb; Floyd and Winchester, 1975). These
re
show that there is significant overlap with the SAFB data and importantly repeatedly distinguish three
na
contrasting REE patterns.
lP
discreet suites within the Murray Basin mafic sample group. These are also clearly differentiated by their
i) Alkali Basalts: As in the Adelaide Hills mafic suites, there is an alkaline volcanic suite sample in Murray
Jo ur
Basin core (Tables 1 & 4). These lavas were sampled from drill holes; COP57, MTR10, COP55, PADD31, PADD33, PADD32, S10, KTH-011, KTH-005, Yumali3, Yumali 4, Yumali9. They are characterised by high to very high TiO2 (mostly > 2.0%) and high Nb contents with high Nb/Y ratios (Fig. 8). They are persistently identified as anorogenic or within-plate by all basalt discrimination diagrams. Their Ti/V ratios (50–100) are significantly higher than for all the other mafic suites (Fig. 10). Although they have similar compositions to the early Cambrian Truro Volcanics, these Murray Basin lavas are consistently undeformed and could be regarded as post-tectonic and therefore younger than termination of Delamerian deformation at 490 Ma (Foden et al., 2006). In this case these basalts are > 30my younger than the Truro suite and not equivalent. And yet Gibson et al. (2015) also recognise a similar but deformed alkaline mafic suite hosted by the Harvester’s Creek greywacke in the Glenelg terrane, which they equated with the Truro Volcanics. This may add some weight to an interpretation that although not deformed these drill core samples could have
14
Journal Pre-proof simply evaded deformation due limited burial. This alkali basalt suite is characterised by steep LREE enriched, HREE-depleted patterns with La/YbN in the range 5 to 13 and Ce/YN in the range 3.5–10. They have Yb and Lu values < MORB at 2–4x primitive mantle values. On the primitive mantle normalised, incompatible element diagram (Fig. 7) this suite shows a smooth pattern from ~100x at Cs and Rb down to ~3x at Yb and Lu. There is little or no positive Pb anomaly and no negative Nb and only some slight suggestion of a negative Sr anomaly. They have initial Nd(500) values in the range +3 to +3.8 (Table 5).
of
ii) Tholeiites: A second subgroup of samples from the cores (Tables 1 & 4) has similar compositions to
ro
outcropping tholeiites in the southern AFB. The suite is represented in several drill holes, (MTR12, COP56, WYN1, Yumali-1,-2,-5, KTH004, KTH003) and includes both deformed (MTR-12, COP56) and
-p
undeformed (WYN-1) members. The group has characteristically flat, MORB-like REE patterns (Fig. 7),
re
very low Nb and low to moderate TiO2 (Fig. 6). Although sharing similar trends with the outcropping tholeiites in the SAFB these tend to be compositionally more variable extending over a wider range of Mg#
lP
values (Fig. 6). Like the AFB tholeiites they also have flat REE patterns with La/YbN = 0.5–1.5 and Ce/YN =
na
1–2, but with lower total REE and lower Nb, Zr and Y (Fig. 7). As with the SAFB tholeiites their Ti/V values are in the 20–50 range (Fig. 10), though a bigger proportion of these samples tend to cluster to the low
Jo ur
end of this range. As discussed later this contrast may imply a west to east depletion trend in the mantle source of this suite. The normalised incompatible element plots show that this group resembles MORB for REE, Y and HFSE, but has positive Pb anomalies as well as enrichment in Cs, Rb, Th, U and K. The deformed members of this group all have Nd(i) values in the +0.3-+0.6, while the undeformed tholeiites from WYN1 have significantly higher values (+5.8; Table 5).
iii) Sub Alkali mafic rocks: (Tables 4, S1) On a range of discrimination diagrams (Fig. 9 , Zr/4-2Nb-Y; Meschede ,1986; Fig. 9, La/10-Y/15-Nb/8; Cabanis and Lecolle, 1989; Fig. 8, TiO2 v Y/Nb; Floyd and Winchester, 1975) a third discrete Murray Basin mafic suite is also distinguished which falls between the alkaline and tholeiitic suites. This is defined by its moderately LREE-enriched REE pattern with La/YbN = 3–7 and Ce/YN = 2.5–6. The suite follows similar compatible element (Ni, Cr, Sc) trends to the tholeiites. On
15
Journal Pre-proof the primitive mantle-normalised diagram this group contrasts with the alkaline series in having positive Pband negative Nb-anomalies. It also has positive Cs, Rb, Th, U and K-enrichments and a slight negative Ti anomaly. These sub-alkaline rocks comprise gabbros, norites, gabbro norites and monzogabbros from the Black Hill intrusion cores (drill cores S1-S18; Turner et al., 1996) as well as basalts and gabbros from drill holes KMD-07, Coonalpyn-1, -2, KTH004 and Yumali-6. Their Ti/V ratios (30–40) fall between those of the tholeiite and alkaline suites (Fig. 10). Samples assigned to this group have initial Nd values in the range +3 to -1.4 (Table 5). These sub-alkaline suite members are mostly located towards the western Margin of the
ro
of
Murray Basin and are best interpreted as more continentally contaminated tholeiites (Fig. 9).
iv) Boninite: Drill hole KTH-012, located towards the eastern border of South Australia, has fine grained
-p
volcanic rocks with a strong steeply dipping cleavage. These are andesitic in silica content (57.2-59.8%) with
re
very high MgO (8.8–9.2%), high Mg# (0.7) and very low TiO2 (0.54%). They have very high Ni (200–300
lP
ppm), Cr (600–650 ppm) and Sc (35–30 ppm) (Fig. 11). They have high Al2O3/TiO2 (~25) and plot towards the higher SiO2 and lower Al2O3/TiO2 end of the global boninite sample range. They are most similar to the
na
low-Ca (CaO/Al2O3 < 0.5) boninite series (Fig. 14; Crawford et al., 1989). They have low Ti/V close to 20 (Fig. 10). Their (slightly) concave upwards REE patterns resemble those of some modern boninites (Fig. 11)
Jo ur
from the western Pacific (Tonga; Falloon et al., 2008) as do their normalised incompatible element patterns. This includes characteristic strong HFSE depletions inherited from a highly depleted, refractory mantle source, with significant enrichment of LREE and LILE elements. This re-enrichment of the mantle wedge is typically attributed to the addition of a subduction component (Falloon et al., 2008). As these high-Mg andesites have quite low initial Nd values in the range -5.2 to -5.6 (Table 5) and are more LREE-enriched than many boninites, their composition may reflect the role of a subduction component as well as some continental crustal contamination. The Magdala basalts (Table 4) that outcrop directly east of the Mt Stavely outcrops and immediately to the east of the Moyston Fault are significantly different to those described from the Stawell Mine further north and also referred to as Magdala basalt (Squire et al., 2006). While the latter are relatively Ti-rich tholeiites, these are boninite-like, very low TiO2 (0.18–0.34), high MgO (9–6.5%) basalts with high Ni (165–92 ppm)
16
Journal Pre-proof and Cr (464–61 ppm) and extreme depletion in HFSE (Zr 6–21 ppm) and REE (< 1 ppm Nd) and moderate enrichment of LILE, features shared with the Mt Stavely lavas. They have very low Ti/V close to <10 (Fig. 10) placing them in the low-Ti arc tholeiite/ boninite field. They have high initial Nd values of +5.2 (Table 5; Fig. 19B).
5.2.3 Intermediate to Felsic Suites. There are five well defined, distinct suites of felsic to intermediate magmatic rocks. These comprise syn-
of
tectonic to late syn-tectonic I- and S-type granites (e.g. Foden et al., 2006; Foden et al., 2002a), A-type
ro
granites (Padthaway Ridge), an adakite suite and the Mt Stavely andesite and dacite lavas and porphyries. The Murray Basin drilling has also intersected intrusions of undeformed, potassium rich granite that are
-p
clearly part of the Pathaway A-type granite suite (Holes S10, PADD32, KMD-07, PD1). In addition, other
re
intermediate to felsic magmatic rocks are intersected in many of the drill holes (MTR12, MTR13, WYN1,
lP
KMD-07, PADD28, LD3, COP56, Coonalpyn-4). These include andesite and rhyolite lavas and diorite and
na
quartz diorite intrusives. Many of these are deformed.
i) I- and S-type granites: These variably deformed intrusions outcrop in the Adelaide Foldbelt in the
Jo ur
Adelaide Hills, on Kangaroo Island and northwards towards Broken Hill (Anabama granite; Foden et al., 2006; Foden et al., 2002a; Foden et al., 1999; Milnes et al., 1977; Sandiford et al., 1992). They have directly equivalent intrusions with similar ages in the Glenelg region in western Victoria (Gibson et al., 2015; Ireland et al., 2002; Kemp, 2003; Kemp et al., 2002). The I-type intrusions fall across the tonalite-granodiorite and granites fields on a normative Ab-AnOr diagram (Fig. 12) whereas the S-types are restricted to the granite field (Fig. 12). The I-type granitoids range from metaluminous diorite and granodiorite to weakly peraluminous granite (Fig. 13). On a SiO2MALI diagram (Frost et al., 2001) they are defined as calc-alkaline (Fig. 13). They have a wide range of Mg# values from ~0.6 down to 0.2 in contrast to the entirely peraluminous S-types which have a restricted range of Mg# values (mostly between 0.4 and 0.5). The more silica-poor I-types are relatively CaO- and Al2O3-rich, showing decline with decreasing Mg#, as do Cr, Ni and Sc. By contrast the S-types show a
17
Journal Pre-proof restricted range of silica (~70–75%) and tend to have higher Mg# and higher Ni, Cr and Sc at similar silica levels to the I-types. The REE patterns (Fig 14) are similar with moderate LREE enrichment and slight negative Eu anomalies (S-types more than I-types). Their normalised incompatible trace element patterns show negative Nb, Sr, P and Ti anomalies and positive Pb anomalies (S-type >> I-type). The S-types are slightly more Ba-rich than the I-types. While most of the outcropping I- and S-type granites in the AFB are syn-tectonic, the Taratap Granite near Kingston in SE SA is a clearly post-tectonic S-type granite. Based on new (Table 5) and previously reported Nd isotope data (Foden et al., 2006; Foden et al., 2002a;
of
Turner et al., 1993) the S-type granites closely overlap the Kanmantoo Group sedimentary rocks (ɛNd(500) -
ro
14 to -10; Haines et al., 2009; Turner et al., 1993) and their Nd values extend from -13.5 to -7.8. The I-type granitoids have more primitive isotopic compositions and range from -6.5 up to -2.5. Whereas the S-type
-p
granites show Nd isotopic variation at constant Sm/Nd (Fig. 19A ), showing apparent mixing variation
re
between the I-type granite field and Kanmantoo sedimentary rocks, the I-types show some positive covariation of Sm/Nd with 143Nd/144Nd(I). This implies a linkage between the I-type granites and more mafic
na
lP
parental magmas with higher Sm/Nd and 143Nd/144Nd(I).
ii) A-type granites: These are post-tectonic (490–470 Ma) A-type granites forming the so-called Padthaway
Jo ur
Ridge (Fig. 2; Turner et al., 1992). This is a prominent magnetic feature extending south eastwards over 500 km from the eastern Adelaide Hills to SW Victoria (Dergholm Granite). Although there are only scattered outcrops as inliers within Mesozoic to Cenozoic Murray Basin cover, this suite is by far the most voluminous of the Delamerian granite series in South Australia. Notably there is no direct equivalent of this magmatic suite in the Delamerian record in the Koonenberry area to the north or in Tasmania and the complex only extends into the western-most exposure of the Victorian Cambrian (the Dergholm Granite). However equivalent post-tectonic A-type granite intrusions are reported from the Ross Orogen in central Victoria Land (e.g. the 490±4 Ma Irizar Granite; Rocchi et al., 2009). These are relatively K2O-rich, silica-rich granites (Fig. 15D, Fig. 18) and are associated with contemporary mafic magmas (Turner and Foden, 1996; Turner et al., 1996). They fall in the alkali-calcic field on a SiO2-MALI diagram (Fig. 13) and are ‘ferroan’ (Frost et al., 2001). They show a wide range of Mg# values from ~0.45 down to < 0.1. Compatible trace
18
Journal Pre-proof element values decline to very low values over this Mg# range. They have distinctive REE patterns (Fig. 15) tending to “gull wing” style (Bachmann and Bergantz, 2008) with high LREE and quite high and relatively flat MREE to HREE patterns and in some cases even have Gd(N)/Yb(N) < 1. They have very large negative Eu anomalies. Normalised incompatible element patterns have large negative Ba, Nb, Sr, P, and Ti anomalies and modest positive Pb peaks (Fig. 15). These granites have significantly higher initial Nd values than the I-type, mostly in the range -3 to +1. Again, there is slight positive covariation of Sm/Nd with Nd(i) (Fig. 19A). They are directly associated with
of
co-magmatic mafic rocks of the sub-alkaline group discussed above group (Mannum, Monteith) described
ro
above. This direct relationship includes mafic dyking as well as mafic magma mingling (Turner and Foden, 1996). These co-magmatic mafic rocks have Nd(i) values that overlap the A-type granites, in the range -1.4
re
-p
to +1.8 (Table 5, Fig. 19A).
lP
iii) Adakite: Granitic rocks of adakite (Castillo, 2012) affinity are identified at a restricted locality in the eastern Adelaide Hills (Monarto/ Kinchina Quarry). These late syn-tectonic 495 ± 1.2 Ma (see below)
na
granites occur as sill-like intrusions in Kanmantoo Group metasediments and are interleaved with tholeiitic dolerite sills. They are very different from the contemporary I- and S-type granites. They have granodiorite
Jo ur
to granitic bulk compositions and on an An-Ab-Or modal/ normative diagram (Fig. 12) they straddle the trondhjemite–granite fields. They are mildly peraluminous (Fig. 13), are more Ca-poor and Na2O- and Al2O3-rich than the contemporary I- and S-types. They have distinctive highly fractionated REE patterns (Fig. 15) with strong HREE depletion (3–6x chondritic) and LREE enrichment (200–400x chondrite). They are very Y-depleted (<10 ppm), have no Eu anomalies and only weak negative Sr anomalies they have very high Ce/YN (60–100) and very high Sr/Y (> 40) and are very Ba-rich. They differ from the other I-, S- and A-type granites in having significantly higher initial Nd values (+1 to +3, Fig. 19, Table 5). These resemble the ‘high SiO2’ adakites (Castillo, 2012).
iv) Murray Basin intermediate to felsic Rocks. While many of the available drill cores intersect obvious members of the Padthaway Ridge A-type granite suite, some cored samples (WYN-1, MTR13, PADD28,
19
Journal Pre-proof KTH1, LD3, M161, COP58) reveal a diverse range of intermediate to felsic rocks that include both volcanics and intrusives. These include both deformed and undeformed examples ranging from andesite to dacite (WYN1, COP56, Coonalpyn4, MTR13) and rhyolite (KTH1) as well as quartz diorite (LD3) and granite (M161). Their silica content ranges from 55 to 75% with a significant proportion in the range 55 to 65%. They are mostly metaluminous and on the SiO2 v MALI figure (Fig. 13) they plot as calc-alkalic. Some have low TiO2 declining with increased SiO2 , but there is also a relatively TiO2-rich sub-group with TiO2 in the range 1.7 to 2.2% (Fig. 17). These Ti-rich samples are undeformed with 58–65% SiO2 and in this study are
of
predominantly from drill hole PADD28 (U-Pb on zircon age = 475.2 ± 1.4 Ma. Fig. 4, Table 3). The lower TiO2 samples also have high Al2O3 and prominent negative Nb and positive Pb anomalies. They have REE
ro
patterns which are very flat in the MREE to HREE range (average ~20x chondrite) and with modest LREE
-p
enrichment (La = 80–120x chondritic; Fig. 15) and slight negative Eu anomalies. On granite discrimination
re
diagrams (Fig. 16) they straddle between VAG fields and WPG (the higher TiO2 sub-group). Excluding the more TiO2-rich samples, these intermediate to felsic samples are very comparable with modern subduction
lP
suites (Fig. 17). They include quartz diorite LD3 that which yielded a 516 ± 2 Ma U-Pb age (Fig. 5 , Table 3) and PADD32 with a U-Pb age of 513.4 ± 5.7 Ma . Most of both the deformed and undeformed members of
Jo ur
na
this group have initial Nd values in the range (-0.4 to -3.0; Fig. 19; Table 5).
v) Mt Stavely andesite and dacite lavas: Most geochemical variations show that the outcropping Mt Stavely Volcanics share common characteristics and lie on the same trends as the very low Ti Magdala basalts from nearby to the east across the Moyston fault, implying that they belong to the same suite. The Mt Stavely outcrops are dominated by andesite and dacite lavas. They are all metaluminous and have very distinctive compositions with seeming high Mg andesite/ boninite affiliations. They are metaluminous and have high CaO, MgO, Ni, Cr, Sc and extremely low Ti, Zr, Nb. Many of the andesites and some dacites have Mg# > 0.6. Their REE patterns mostly have flat MREE to HREE at ~ 10x chondrite and they have weakly enriched LREE/MREE with little or no Eu-anomaly. As an exception to this the youngest unit in the Mt Stavely stratigraphy (the Larnakardo porphyry; Bowman et al., 2019) has a distinctive fractionated REE pattern (Fig. 15) with strongly depleted HREE and without Eu-anomaly) and is very like the Adelaide Hills
20
Journal Pre-proof Kinchina adakite described previously. This boninite-adakite association has been described from several Neogene western Pacific subduction margins (Falloon et al., 2008; Li et al., 2013). As a group the Mt Stavely suite all show large negative Nb and Ti anomalies and strong relative enrichment of Pb, K and U. Rb, Ba, Th and U are enriched but with relative enrichment U>Th and Ba > Rb. Some show weak positive Sr anomalies (Fig. 15). These Mt Stavely Belt have initial Nd values in the range +2 to -4.4, though most are in the -3 to -4 range (Fig 19B; Table 5).

6. Discussion
ro
6.1 Geochemical tectonic discrimination
-p
We have used several discrimination diagrams as a means of assessing the tectonic settings of the mafic members of the magmatic suites. For the mafic rocks, these are the TiO2 v Y/Nb diagram (Floyd and
re
Winchester, 1975), the Zr/4-2Nb-Y diagram (Meschede, 1986), the La/10-Y/15-Nb/8 diagram (Cabanis and
lP
Lecolle, 1989) and the Ti /1000 v V diagram (Shervais, 1982). The effectiveness of the discriminations indicated by the fields defined in these diagrams has been tested using large modern data sets with well-
na
established tectonic settings from GeoROC (Sarbas and Nohl, 2008). There are four geochemically distinctive mafic suites; i. alkali basalts, ii. MORB-like tholeiites, iii.
Jo ur
transitional sub-alkali basalts and mafic intrusives and iv. boninite-like high Mg andesites. Although the alkali series includes the highly alkaline and deformed Truro volcanics which are early- or pre-Delamerian, these have some geochemical distinctions from the other alkaline lavas from Murray Basin drill core (Fig 6), which are undeformed, implying that they post-date the last Delamerian contraction at 490 Ma (Foden et al., 2006). The discrimination diagrams all classify this sample group as alkaline basalts from anorogenic or within plate settings. They clearly differ from syn-subduction magmas in having much higher TiO2, in lacking negative Nb anomalies and in having no prominent positive LIL and Pb anomalies. The discrimination diagrams all define the tholeiite samples as N- or E-MORB or as continental tholeiites or as back-arc basalts and as illustrated in figure 6, the least differentiated members of this group fall directly in the MORB field (Jenner and O'Neill, 2012). Dispersal out of this field results from a combination of fractional crystallisation (see trends in Fig. 6) and, as implied by Nd-isotope shifts towards
21
Journal Pre-proof lower initial Nd(I) values, some continental crustal contamination (Fig. 19). This affiliation is also supported by geochemical variation trends within the suite. The Murray Basin tholeiites also share Ni- and Crdepletion trends with declining Mg# with the SAFB suites. And in both groups the inflected TiO2 and Sc trends of initial increase with declining Mg# followed by decline are consistent with initial olivine-spinelplagioclase controlled fractionation of parental mafic melts, followed later by saturation of clinopyroxene. This is the same low-pressure crystallisation behavior as MORB (Yaxley, 2000), emphasising the MORBlike character of this suite. This is consistent with decompressional melting of upwelling DMM
of
asthenosphere during lithosphere extension. The Al2O3 variation implies early plagioclase saturation and
ro
hence implies relatively low initial H2O content. While Liu and Fleming (1990) proposed separate Al2O3defined suites, in reality the Al2O3-enrichment trend is at constant Mg# and must simply be due to
-p
plagioclase accumulation presumably due to flotation and sorting during in-dyke magma flow.
re
As illustrated in Figs 9 and 10, reflecting its mixed (subduction and rift) origins, the geochemical identity of the back-arc basalt field is not uniquely defined by most discrimination diagrams but it
lP
consistently falls between the MORB and Island Arc basalt field. On the Ti/1000 v V diagram (Fig 10) and
na
on both the Zr/4-2Nb-Y and the La/10-Y/15-Nb/8 diagrams (Fig 9) all the Delamerian mafic suites fall in the same broad fields as modern back arc basalts, though in detail there are subtle variations. In the Zr/4-2Nb-Y
Jo ur
diagram the sub-alkalic mafic rocks tend to skew more into volcanic arc basalt field ‘C’ than the BAB series. Likewise in the La/10-Y/15-Nb/8 diagram this series trends slightly into the ‘calc-alkali’ field (from the BAB-continental basalt field), suggesting that this series are more subduction-like than the other two series, though this probably reflects continental crustal contamination as indicated (Fig 9). Crustal contamination in the sub-alkalic series is also consistent with the prominent positive Pb and negative Nb anomalies and the fact that on the Ti/1000 v V diagram (Fig. 10) this series is less arc-like than the tholeiite series and lie between the tholeiites and the alkaline basalts. On this diagram the modern BAB suites closely overlap the field defined by the tholeiites and even plot a little further across into the designated ‘arc-tholeiite’ field (Tetley et al., 2019). Reflecting its slightly lower TiO2 and Nb, the least fractionated of the tholeiites from the Murray drill holes are displaced more towards the N-MORB- volcanic arc tholeiite fields in the Ti/1000 v V diagram (Fig 10) as well as the Zr/4-2Nb-Y and the La/10-Y/15-Nb/8 diagrams. This potentially reflects
22
Journal Pre-proof derivation from a more depleted mantle source that may be developed in the approach to the then subduction plate boundary further east. The South Australian Cambro-Ordovician granites reinforce the tectonic setting conclusions from the mafic rocks. On standard granite discrimination diagrams (Pearce et al., 1984), the I- and S-type granites straddle the boundary between within plate (WPG) and volcanic arc granite (VAG) fields while the A-types plot mostly in the WPG fields. By contrast the Mt Stavely andesites and dacites lie well within the VAG fields (Fig.16). The intermediate to felsic samples from the Murray drill core include both those that fall into
of
the VAG fields and some that are designated WPG. A core conclusion from the mafic rock geochemistry is that apart from the boninitic high Mg
ro
andesites, the SA mafic rocks are not produced directly in a subduction, volcanic arc setting. They are more
-p
likely to be rift-related and are like modern back-arc suites, particularly those where extended and thinned
re
continental crust is present. Similarly, as supported by isotope-based constraints discussed below, and with the exception of the adakites, the I- and S-type granites not strictly ‘orogenic’ but result from thermal and
lP
material interaction between the rift-related mantle melts and the sedimentary back-arc basin fill (Kanmantoo
na
Group).
Note that the NSW Mt Wright, the western Victorian Mt Stavely and the Tasmanian Mt Read Volcanics all
Jo ur
occur within the same time interval (510–500 Ma) and are each classified by a wide range of discrimination diagrams as volcanic arc suites. They each have systematically lower TiO2 than most of the SA suites.
6.2 Tectonic controls on petrogenesis
Nd v 147Sm/144Nd show positively correlated trends (Fig 19) between the both I- and A-type granite fields and the mafic samples from the SAFB and the mafic to felsic samples from the Murray drill core. The linkage to the I-type suite requires a steeper trend than that to the A-types. These radiating trends converge on contemporary MORB (with an Nd at 500 Ma close to +8). The samples also define a general trend of negative correlation between SiO2 content and initial Nd. Together these relations strongly support coupled assimilation of continental material together with fractional crystallisation (AFC; DePaolo, 1981; Powell, 1984). In addition to the critical elemental melt –bulk mineral assemblage distribution coefficients (D
23
Journal Pre-proof values), the geochemical impact of this process is also controlled by the ratio of the rate of assimilation by the magma (of crust) to its rate of crystallisation. This is described as the ‘r’ factor in governing equations (DePaolo, 1981; Powell, 1984). Taking the crustal assimilant as mean Kanmantoo Group shale and the mafic endmember as contemporary MORB, an r-factor of 0.35 models syn-tectonic I-type granite generation (Fig. 19). In the post-tectonic stage (<490 Ma) the same MORB source and crustal assimilant can produce the Atype granites but with less crustal assimilation and greater influence of fractional crystallisation (r = 0.15). As discussed below, we interpret that this major decline in crustal assimilation followed the delamination of
of
dense, mafic underplate from the lowermost crust and transition to persistent lithospheric extension. In addition to the clear field evidence for mafic and granitic magma mingling (Turner and Foden,
ro
1996) linkage of the A- and I-type granites to contemporary mafic mantle input of MORB-like tholeiite
-p
composition is also supported by other element variation. This is in contrast for the model for the Ross
re
orogen A-types where re-melting of parental lamprophyre is proposed (Rocchi et al, 2009). As illustrated in Fig 18, the tholeiite suite mafic rocks (which as already discussed are MORB-like) have elemental variation
lP
trends that link them to the A-type granites by fractional crystallization dominated paths. The tholeiite suites
na
show reversals in trends of enrichment of both TiO2 and Zn as a function of declining Mg# marking the onset of Fe-Ti oxide. The alkali basalt suite by contrast has consistently high TiO2 and Zn (Fig. 18). This
Jo ur
linkage between the A- type granites and a specifically tholeiitic mafic parent magma is also emphasised by the flat MREE-HREE patterns of these granites and the tholeiites (Dy/Yb of both the A-type granites and tholeiites have the same average Dy/Yb = 1.7 whereas the alkali basalts average Dy/Yb = 2.5; Figs 7, and 15).
As indicated in Fig 19A there is a continuous trend of initial Nd variation between the S- and I-type granites at constant essentially crustal Sm/Nd this is best interpreted to reflect direct mixing of Kanmantoo sediment melts with intruding I-type magmas. This is illustrated by field evidence that the Kanmantoo migmatite complexes which generate direct melts of the Kanmantoo complex are the sites of intrusion by and mingling with granite magmas of more I-type character (Foden et al., 2002a; Schwindinger and Weinberg, 2017).
24
Journal Pre-proof Although there is a significant population of Nd v Sm/Nd trends that converge on contemporary MORB source (Fig. 19), there is also evidence of trends that do not project to contemporary MORB and must reach MORB-like initial Nd values at much higher Sm/Nd ratios (Fig. 19B). The KTH-012 boninites and the Mt Stavely Belt intermediate to felsic volcanics have quite negative initial Nd values (+2 to -6) but lie on potential trends (together with some of the deformed Murray Basin samples from cores) that suggest projection towards the Stavely Magdala boninite / low Ti tholeiites. These have initial Nd values of +5, but have far lower REE contents (< 1 ppm Nd cf 9 ppm Nd) and higher Sm/Nd ratios (0.434 cf 0.343) than
of
MORB. Samples on these trends have low to very low HFSE contents and very high compatible element
ro
contents even in relatively silica-rich samples, suggesting they only have experienced limited fractional crystallisation. If these trends are treated as AFC trends (Fig 19B inset) regarding the Magdala low-Ti basalt
-p
as a parent, then they require implausible solutions. If regarded as AFC to achieve their Nd and 147Sm/144Nd
re
values the trends require substantial fractionation and with miniscule rates (Fig 19B) of crustal assimilation
lP
(r = 0.007 to 0.005). This process would produce very low MgO, Mg#, Ni, Cr and Sc values that are completely unlike those of the samples. The more credible solution is that these are boninitic melts of
na
refractory, highly depleted mantle that has been enriched with a component (2–4%) derived from subducted sediment. In this case their high SiO2 contents are closer to primary values, reflecting very low pressure,
Jo ur
water-rich mantle melting (Falloon et al., 2008). As reflected by their high Mg# and Ni, Cr and Sc values they must have undergone only limited fractionation. We would interpret the generation of this depleted mantle to result from early (from ~520 Ma) tholeiitic melt extraction from an evolving mantle wedge above the newly foundering slab (Whattam and Stern, 2011).
6.3 The Delamerian subduction history This study provides geochemical, temporal and spatial constrains that show how this part of the Gondwananpalaeo-Pacific margin evolved and responded to the transition from passive margin to subduction. The 300 km wide transect of the Delamerian Orogen from its western edge at the eastern margin of the exposed Gawler Craton to the Mt Stavely Belt and Stawell Zone in western Victoria contains a 50m.y magmatic record extending from 522 Ma to 470 Ma. At 516.2 ± 1.5 Ma the quartz diorite from drill hole LD3 is the
25
Journal Pre-proof oldest credibly subduction-generated magmatic rock in the belt and suggests subduction may have started as early as ~520 Ma. This requires that subduction was at least partly coeval with the deposition of the Kanmantoo group. Our results show that towards the developing South Australian foreland margin at the far western edge of the Delamerian orogen during the time interval from 522 to ~515 Ma, mafic magmatism underwent transition from alkaline to tholeiitic. Based on mafic rock geochemistry, the clear conclusion is that none of the three main defined South Australian mafic suites have subduction signatures. The tholeiites (suite#2) are MORB-like basalts, probably contaminated by continental crust. Their formation is consistent
of
with production by decompressional polybaric melting associated with asthenospheric upwelling into a rifting and extended continental margin. The concept that the alkaline Truro suite are the product of smaller
ro
fraction, presumably higher pressure melt extraction is supported by their initial Nd values (up to +7.5)
-p
approaching those of the contemporary DMM and the Kanmantoo tholeiites and thus not requiring a distinct
re
enriched mantle source. The tholeiites in particular correlate well with back arc basalt (BAB) characteristics and must be generated inboard of any volcanic arc. The alkali basalts (suite#1) that appear first at the earliest
lP
stages of back arc rifting have persistent ‘within plate’ designation and again have no subduction affiliation.
na
Several recent studies (Leng et al., 2012; Stern et al., 2012; Whattam and Stern, 2011) have recognised that spontaneous subduction initiation is recorded by many supra-subduction ophiolites with
Jo ur
numerous Tethyan examples. These record a magmatic sequence whereby early tholeiite (often with low and decreasing Ti) is intruded into what quickly becomes the back-arc. This is followed by boninite and calc alkaline suites. Prior to the establishment of down-dip subduction of the oceanic lithosphere, the first stage of oceanic lithosphere failure produces tholeiites due to asthenosphere upwelling into the developing mantle wedge above the foundering slab. The highly depleted mantle formed by melt extraction at this early stage creates the proto- mantle wedge and is then only further melted when down-dip slab motion commences and introduces subduction components including water. This stage may then produce boninite melts followed by arc tholeiites or calc-alkaline series magmas. This early stage of spontaneous subduction produces oceanward retreat of the trench with associated extension of the upper plate. This produces an extending back-arc basin with signature BAB tholeiite magmas and a zone of highly depleted mantle in the mantle wedge towards the forearc producing boninite related magmas. This model is directly applicable to the South Australian–western Victorian Delamerian.
26
Journal Pre-proof Relative to the persistently MORB-like back arc basalts in the exposed Kanmantoo group to the west, the occurrence further east of high-Mg andesite boninite in drill hole KTH12, of boninitic basalt, andesite and dacite at Mt Stavely and in the Stawell Zone (Magdala Basalt) and of boninitic hornblende diorite in the Glenelg terrane is telling. Together with the eastward shift in the tholeiite chemistry towards more HFSE depletion and lower REEs (Figs 7 and 10), these factors all imply a progressive eastward transition towards a depleted mantle wedge resulting from initial slab foundering and eastward roll-back. The 516 ± 2 Ma quartz diorites in the LD3 hole are the most south-easterly Murray Basin samples taken in SA
of
and together with the nearby highly deformed KTH12 boninite are the earliest and most westerly identified subduction magmatic activity in the belt. These samples are ~80 km east of the Glenelg terrane with its syn-
ro
D2 to post tectonic (<495±8 Ma; Ireland et al., 2002; Kemp, 2003) boninite intrusion as well as calc-alkalic
-p
basalts and VAG granites (Gray et al., 2002; Kemp, 2003; Kemp et al., 2002) and 150 km east of the
re
boninitic 510–500 Ma Mt Stavely Arc. This implies initiation of subduction perhaps as early as 520 Ma followed by ~150 km of eastwards slab rollback in 10my to take the trench to the east of the Stavely arc by
lP
~510 Ma. Note that the implications of eastwards migration, coupled to the clear observation of direct
na
intrusion of Kanmantoo equivalent sediments by boninite in the Glenelg Terrane all point to westward subduction and eastward slab roll back in this sector of the Gondwanan margin. This is similar to the
Jo ur
conclusion of Johnson et al. (2016) with respect to the Koonenberry Belt. Cambrian boninite complexes are also described at other localities along the Gondwanan–Pacific margin. They occur in Tasmania with magmatic ages of 516–510 Ma based on specific dating of comagmatic gabbros and tonalites (Crawford and Berry, 1992; Turner et al., 1998; Mortensen et al., 2015). They also occur in the Ross Orogen in northern Victoria Land along the Lanterman-Mariner fault. This marks the east palaeo-Pacific margin of the Wilson Terrane craton, at its contact with the Cambrian Bowers Terrane (Palmeri et al., 2012; Tribuzio et al., 2008; Niagara Icefalls, Dessent Ridge and Mountaineer Range). In the north of the South Island of New Zealand they also occur in the Takaka Terrane (Münker and Crawford, 2000) at the base of the Devil River volcanic arc complex and have 516-514 Ma ages. In each case boninite magmatism marks a stage of subduction initiation at the Gondwana–Pacific margin. As also suggested by Kemp (2003), the model implied by our data for the SA–Victoria sector of this margin suggests west-dipping subduction with boninite and early calc alkaline magmatism and the
27
Journal Pre-proof synchronous, early development of an extending back arc basin, and is the same as that proposed for the Koonenberry (Johnson et al., 2016). It is similar to models for the Northern Victoria Land margin (Palmeri et al., 2012; Tribuzio et al., 2008). It is also identical to the sequence proposed for the Takaka terrane in New Zealand (Münker and Crawford, 2000). It should be noted that the orientation of Cambrian subduction beneath the Australian sector of the Gondwanan margin has been controversial. Based on the assumption that the Tasmanian boninite complexes were generated in an offshore oceanic arc in the palaeo Pacific margin and obducted westward on to the
of
Rocky Cape continental margin which was part of the downgoing plate, this model implies a phase of eastward subduction (Crawford and Berry, 1992). This may be consistent with the observation that Tasmania
ro
had a post Rodinina history that was separate from the Australian Gondwanan margin. Cayley (2011) and
-p
Moore et al. (2016) have postulated for a Tasmania that and which may be been first accreted to the

6.4 Timing of deformation
lP
(Cayley, 2011).
The timing and cause of the Delamerian deformation (s) is a major issue. Johnson et al. (2016) assumed that
Jo ur
the deformation in the Koonenberry Belt was entirely late (~500Ma) following a history of mid to late Cambrian subduction and back arc extension. In the South Australian transect we have concluded that there was also a history of on-going back-arc (Kanmantoo Basin) extension from the time of the early Cambrian extrusion of the Truro volcanics at 522 Ma onward through the Cambrian and into the clearly post-tectonic extensional phase after 490 Ma. And yet there is evidence that during this 522 Ma to 490 Ma interval, at least in the southern AFB, there were three distinct convergent deformation phases (Alias et al., 2002; Offler and Fleming, 1968) commencing with a major craton-ward D1 fold-thrust event (Flöttmann et al., 1998). The 40
Ar-39Ar age of 502.4 ± 4 Ma of S1 fabric forming muscovite published here (Fig. 3) is the only dating of
this D1 event. This is likely to be a cooling age. As the maximum metamorphic temperature of the Harvey’s Return meta-Kanmantoo sequence (and the dated muscovite) is likely to be between 500 and 550oC (chlorite-absent biotite-muscovite metapelite) the dated muscovite therefore probably grew at ~200oC > its
28
Journal Pre-proof 40
Ar-39Ar closure T (350oC, Harrison et al., 2009). Even at a rapid cooling rate (20oC/ Ma) this implies that
the age of tectonically imposed muscovite growth may have been 10 Ma older than the cooling age, suggesting the age of thrusting (regional D1) could be ~512 Ma or older. Alias et al. (2002) have documented the sequence of magmatic intrusion, deformation and metamorphism at Petrel Cove adjacent to the Pt Elliot -Victor Harbor granite, demonstrating early (perhaps pre or syn D1) intrusion of mafic tholeiite and pegmatite and show that the 508± 2 Ma (Keeman et al., In submission), post-D1 Pt Elliot-Victor Harbor S-type granite intruded during or late in the D2 event and clearly cuts D1 foliation. This relationship clearly
of
provides a minimum age for the D1 event (>508 Ma). And then the 495 ± 1 Ma Kinchina adakite and the 492.6 ± 1 Ma Reedy Creek granodiorite each also have tectonic fabrics which would logically be D3.
ro
These events seem to have equivalence in the Glenelg Terrane, where a 514 ± 6 Ma quartz porphyry
-p
intrusion is synchronous with or closely post-dates a D1 fabric, while a D2 event is recognised between the
re
493 ± 8 Ma Wando Tonalite and the 490 ± 6 Ma Wando granodiorite (Gibson et al., 2015). The clearly

lP
subduction related and weakly deformed Mt Stavely volcanics have ages between 510 and 503 Ma (Fig. 5;
na
The cause of Delamerian deformation in the SA–Victoria sector of the plate margin remains unresolved. There is no clear evidence for accretion of exotic continental blocks at this time, though it has
Jo ur
been suggested that the Rodinian elements of Tasmania (the Rocky Cape and Tyennan blocks) may have docked with the Gondwanan margin in the Cambrian (Caley, 2011). Gibson et al. (2015) have also suggested that the Mt Stavely belt may represent a colliding, boninitic oceanic arc, as discussed in this paper and by Kemp (2003) it seems clear that the boninites are generated from mantle beneath the Australian, and necessarily upper plate margin. The implication then is for orogenesis without collision, a process well recognised in the subsequent later Phanerozoic history of the Gondwanan Pacific margin (Cawood et al., 2011). As discussed by Greenfield et al. (2011) the current Pacific margin at the North Island of New Zealand may provide a good analogy. There Pacific-ward retreat of the Hikurangi Trench induces upper plate extension in the Taupo Volcanic zone, while at the same time periodic coupling between the upper plate and the down-dip motion of the subducting slab leads to simultaneous convergent deformation in the Axial ranges towards the forearc (Wallace et al., 2004). In this case convergence is driven by a combination of ridge push and slab pull forces.

6.5 The termination of the Delamerian orogeny. As argued by Foden et al. (2006), South Australia Delamerian orogenesis associated with convergent deformation ceased at ~490 ± 5 Ma. Similar timing for Delamerian cessation is recorded from the Koonenberry Belt, the Mt Stavely Belt, the Glenelg Terrane and in Tasmania. In South Australia cessation of convergent orogenesis was followed by a period of bimodal anorogenic magmatism, dominated by A-type granites (Fig. 4; Turner et al., 1992). This phase continued for a period of about 20 Ma until ~470 Ma.
of
In the Koonenberry Belt the Delamerian unconformity is overlain by the latest Cambrian or earliest
ro
Ordovician Kayrunnera Group sediments (Johnson et al., 2016). In the Mt Stavely Belt the 510–502 Ma volcanic terrane (Lewis et al., 2016) is cut by the post-tectonic 498 Ma Bushy Creek granodiorite (Whelan et
-p
al., 2007). Termination of deformation in the Glenelg Terrane is constrained to be between the 493 ± 8 Ma
re
syn-D2 Wando Tonalite and the post kinematic 491±8 Ma Loftus Creek Granodiorite (Ireland et al., 2002;
lP
Morand and Fanning, 2006). In Tasmania the syn- to late- kinematic 510–493 Ma Mt Read Volcanics and Tyndal Group (Mortensen et al., 2015; Perkins and Walshe, 1993) are unconformably overlain by the post-
na
Delamerian, latest Cambrian to Earliest Ordovician molassic conglomerates of the Dennison Supergroup (Jukes and Owen Conglomerates; Noll and Hall, 2003). This age of termination of the Delamerian also
Jo ur
extends to the eastern end of the Ross Orogen in Northern Victoria Land with undeformed Granite Harbour granites having ages in the 504–485 Ma range and Ar-Ar hornblende and muscovite cooling ages in the range 488–482 Ma (Goodge and Dallmeyer, 1996). There is also good evidence that termination of convergent deformation `was followed by very rapid uplift and cooling. In Northern Victoria Land, Goodge and Dallmeyer (1996) estimate cooling at 30oC/ Ma and uplift at 1.2 km/ Ma. In South Australia, the (Figs. 2 & 4, Table 3 ) the erupted 472.5 ± 1 Ma Mt Monster rhyolite (part of the Padthaway Ridge A-type suite) unconformably overlies the by then exhumed to the surface Kanmantoo Group folded metamorphic complexes, whose pressures are estimated elsewhere in the belt to be ~3kbar (Alias et al., 2002). This implies erosion of at least 10 km of crust since the orogenic termination at 490 ± 5 Ma. 40Ar-39Ar dating of detrital micas from Ordovician turbidites in western Victoria (Turner et al., 1996) also demonstrate a detrital source from a rapidly exhumed Delamerian Orogen. Given
30
Journal Pre-proof that post-Delamerian exhumation is not driven by convergent crustal shortening and vertical thickening, it must be buoyancy controlled and implies delamination of dense material from the Moho or below. It is also probable that subduction was terminated by slab breakoff and re-establishment further outboard (e.g. beneath the Ordovician Macquarie Arc in central western NSW). Percival and Pysklywec (2007), have discussed the occurrence of bursts of intrusion of post-orogenic granites lasting 20–40 Ma on several Archaean Cratons (Superior, Yilgarn, Slave) and have modeled these as the result of delamination of dense eclogitic metabasic rocks from Moho depths creating convective stirring
of
of the lithospheric mantle. This results in partial localised overturn of the lithospheric mantle intruding a pulse of upwelling asthenosphere to near Moho depths. They predict this may decompress mantle material
ro
with T>1000oC to near Moho depths for > 10m.yr. This decompression will potentially generate both alkali
-p
and tholeiitic mafic partial melts dependent on percentage partial melting and depth of melt extraction. This
re
would explain the occurrence of the post-tectonic tholeiite (suite#2) and alkali (suite#1) magmas. The predicted duration and physical characteristics of this process fit the petrogenetic requirements to generate
lP
the post-Delamerian A-type granites closely. In addition to their association with rapid post convergent exhumation and erosion, characteristics of the A-type suite that are compatible with this model include; high
na
temperatures (950-1000oC; Turner et al., 1992) and their shift to an increased contribution of a mantle
Jo ur
component as predicted by the ACF modeling.
Additional support for delamination is provided by the 495 ± 1.2 Ma. Kinchina adakite. As Percival and Pysklywec (2007) model predicts the dense delaminated eclogite (garnet pyroxenite) will produce silicic partial melts as the foundering down-flow is heated to >1000oC. The composition of the Kinchina adakite with its strongly fractionated and HREE-depleted, Eu-anomaly-free REE patterns, low Y and high Sr /Y ratios point to evolution in equilibrium with residual garnet and in the absence of plagioclase (Castillo, 2006) . Its high initial Nd values compared to the syn-tectonic granites also point to a mafic source. Experimental studies show that partial melting of mafic rocks sources at pressures between 1.4 and 3 GPa are in equilibrium with eclogite or garnet pyroxenite composed of residual garnet and clinopyroxene + rutile ± amphibole assemblages and yield melts with SiO2 in the range 58–72% (Pertermann and Hirschmann, 2003; Yaxley, 2000) at between 900 and 1050oC. Although extended petrogenetic discussion is beyond the scope of this paper, MELTS modeling (~2GPa, 1050oC) and trace element partial melting calculations using the
31
Journal Pre-proof composition of the slightly crustally contaminated mafic tholeiite sills interleaved with the adakites in outcrop yield very close match to these adakites at ~20% melting. These melts are formed in equilibrium with a CPX-Garnet-Amphibole-Rutile residue.
7. Conclusions Figure 20 illustrates the model presented here for magmatic evolution in the Cambrian Gondwanan margin r in SE Australia. This study documents the magmatic consequences of the initiation of subduction at the South Australian- western Victorian sector of the Pacific – Gondwana margin. The resultant Delamerian
of
Orogen in this sector is 300 km wide and hosts a magmatic history from the early Cambrian until the early
ro
Ordovician (522–470 Ma.). Our data shows that this 50 Ma syn- to post-Delamerian history started with commencing west directed subduction as least as early as 516 Ma. This was marked by volcanic arc-type
-p
andesite and quartz diorite (516.1 ± 2 Ma. Fig. 5) sampled from drill core from beneath younger sedimentary
re
cover in the eastern Murray Basin. The occurrence nearby of likely forearc magmas in the form of highly
lP
cleaved boninitic high Mg andesite from drill hole KTH12 suggest that the volcanic arc was within easternmost SA at this early stage. From then on, Pacific-ward trench retreat resulted in volcanic arc
na
migration to reach the Mt Stavely Belt and Stawell Zones in western Victoria by 510 Ma where boninitic arc magmatism continued until ~490 Ma (Kemp, 2003).
Jo ur
Further west to the orogen’s foreland margin exposed in the AFB, early (522± 4 Ma) alkali basalt gave way to intrusion and extrusion of MORB-like tholeiite of back-arc basalt character, and through most of the middle and late Cambrian all of the South Australian Delamerian was in the back-arc and mostly under extension. Nevertheless there were two or three interludes of compression, the first being the major foreland fold-thrust D1 event in the middle Cambrian and the last at around 490 Ma. These compressive interludes resulted from periodic Pacific-Australian plate coupling beneath the forearc in western Victoria. In SA and the Victorian Glenelg Terrane the syn-tectonic I- and S-type granites all reflect back-arc mantle-derived magma and heat transport into the base of the Kanmantoo basin. This promoted partial melting and assimilation. They are essentially ‘rift granites’ and in addition to the key role of mantle-derived tholeiitic magma, their production was critically dependent on the very fertile, wet, recently deposited, Kanmantoo Group basin fill. Particularly in the South Australian back-arc zone, termination of the
32
Journal Pre-proof Delamerian orogenic history at ~490 Ma was accompanied by buoyancy-controlled, uplift, exhumation and erosion. This was driven by delamination of a dense, Moho depth crustal mafic underplate whose re-melting at 1.5 to 2GPa and 950–1050oC generated the unique 495 ± 1 Ma AFB Kinchina/Monarto adakite. Slab rollback and breakoff is also likely, leading to re establishement of subduction further outboard (Macquarie Arc, NSW). This scenario is very like that proposed in the Ross Orogen (Rocchi et al., 2009). Delamination resulted in lithospheric mantle thinning and local convective overturn allowing shallow upwelling of the asthenosphere to drive the post-kinematic magmatic phase of the Delamerian, yielding voluminous 490Ma–
of
470 Ma A-type granites accompanied by both post-tectonic MORB-like and alkali basaltic magmatism recorded in Murray basin cores samples. It is probable that the Padthaway Ridge defines the locus of
ro
asthenospheric upwelling produced by delamination. The results suggest significant similarities of events in
-p
this sector to those in the Koonenberry belt in western NSW (Greenfield et al., 2011; Johnson et al., 2016).

A) Illustrates the wedge-shaped distribution of the mafic samples converging on contemporary MORB. Variation without initial Nd variation reflects pure fractional crystallization or varying degrees of source
re
melting. Positive co-variation of Nd and 147Sm/144Nd reflects crustal contamination of mafic magma leading to I- and A-type granite fields. Inset depicts AFC trends (using the equations of DePaolo (1981) and Powell
lP
(1984)) calculated between contemporary MORB (Nd = +8.2, Nd = 9.5 ppm, Sm = 3.34 ppm) and mean Kanmantoo (Nd = -13.5, Nd = 51.7 ppm, Sm = 9.48 ppm). Calculation made for three different assimilation
na
to fractional crystallization ratios (‘r’ values), r = 0.35, 0.15 and 0.05. Intervals on the curves are 10% crystallization. The curves extend to 50% crystallization. These trends demonstrate the reduction in crustal
Jo ur
contamination in the transition from the syn-tectonic I-type suite to the post-tectonic A-type suite. As also indicated the S-type granites reflect direct mixing of Kanmantoo sediment melts with intruding I-type magmas (as illustrated by field evidence at Kanmantoo migmatite complexes (Foden et al., 2002a; Schwindinger and Weinberg, 2017).
B) Symbols as for A) with the addition (shown as green diamonds) of boninite suite rocks form SA drill hole KTH12, from Mt Stavely andesite and dacite lavas and shallow intrusions (the Larnakardo porphyry, Bowman et al., 2019) and Magdala basalt samples from outcrop 5 km east of the Stavely outcrops. The red curves are the best fit to model the boninite suite rocks as AFC derivatives of the parental Magdala basalt, noting the extremely small required ‘r; values (0.02 – 0.006). Intervals on the curves are 10% crystallization. The curves extend to 80% crystallization. As discussed in the text, given the relatively high MgO, Ni, Cr and Sc of the Mt Staveley lavas and the KTH12 high Mg andesites, the process modeled by these curves is not viable and the alternative of subduction driven source mantle wedge contamination is much more likely. Figure 20 Figure 20 illustrates the model presented here for magmatic evolution in the Cambrian Gondwanan margin r in SE Australia.
