Lithospheric structure of the Pilbara Craton, Capricorn Orogen and northern Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, from teleseismic receiver functions

The upper lithospheric structure from the Pilbara Craton, across the Capricorn Orogen, to the northern Yilgarn Craton is determined from high-fidelity broadband seismic data. Three-component temporary stations were deployed in a line running southwards from Marble Bar, Western Australia, at approximately 118 E longitude. They were in position between July and October 2000. Receiver functions ar...

Paleomagnetism of Mafic Dikes in the Northern Pilbara Craton, Western Australia

Two well preserved Archean cratons, Kaapvaal and Pilbara, have remarkably similar geological successions during the Archean and Paleoproterozoic. This has led some to propose that the two may have been connected during that interval, thus experiencing similar tectonic events. We sampled Archean and Proterozoic rocks from the Pilbara craton in order to test the Vaalbara hypothesis, especially th...

Upper crust of the Pilbara Craton, Australia; 3D geometry of a granite/greenstone terrain

The Pilbara Craton in Northwest Australia is a 600×550 km region of early-mid Archaean granite/greenstone terrain, dominated by granite domes, and in part covered by younger rocks. Gravity and magnetic anomalies are used to map the granite/greenstone surface under cover, and infer the depth extent of the granite/greenstone structures. A published seismic refraction interpretation gives a two la...
