...GEOFFREY R. TAYLOR Abstract Rennell Island is a coral atoll in the South Solomon Sea whose entire coastline is formed by an uplifted reef complex. This complex consists of a succession of superimposed fore reefs and their associated reef flats, all of which have been completely dolomitized. During...

...G. Taylor; Geraint W. Hughes Abstract Pyrite-rich clay sediments from a brackish-water lake on Rennell Island provide new evidence for bauxite genesis. The sediment represents an intermediate product and is considered to have been produced by biogenic activity in a shallow-water environment...

.... The Solomon Islands, too, has no petroleum legislation as yet. CCOP/SOPAC ran single-channel seismic surveys to a total of 1,115 line-km, mainly near Rennell Island but also some in the Central Solomons Trough. In Papua New Guinea, the total concession areas increased to 72,600 km 2 . Oil companies recorded...

...) and northeast Graham Island (basal strata at the Tow Hill well). Paleothicknesses of eroded strata calculated based on Triassic sections on west Graham Island range from 1,050 m at Frederick Island to 750 m at Kennecott Point, and based on Jurassic strata ranges from 1,750 m at Rennell Junction to 2,000 m...

... Hecate Strait resulted in the reactivation of the old suture zone, manifest as the Rennell Sound fault zone. Concurrent with continued terrigenous deposition and volcanism, the Queen Charlotte Islands moved northwesterly along the Rennell Sound Fault, which disrupted the earlier fault trend. The final...

... strata (1.3-1.5%ROra,d) in Skidegate Inlet (Maude Island) and Rennell Sound are currently poor oil source rocks, as sug- gested by low QOM (0.1-0.7) and HI (9-38) values. Fannin Formation: Mature to overmature (0.6-2.2%ROrand) sandstone, tuffaceous iltstone, and shale in central Graham Island, Skidegate...

.... The age of the subducting lithosphere along the northern New Hebrides Trench has been estimated as ca. 30 Ma (Oligocene), and the South Rennell Trough ( Fig. 1 ) has been interpreted as an inactive spreading ridge ( Larue et al., 1977 ). If correct, then the South Rennell Trough was ∼18 m.y. old...

Upon deglaciation, sediment discharge was extensive, but it terminated quickly due to rapid glacial retreat and sea-level lowering with the development...
