3D seismic analysis of complex faulting patterns and fluid escape features and their relation to Late Cenozoic Magmatism in the Bass Basin, offshore SE Australia Available to Purchase
Abstract Igneous intrusions in sedimentary petroleum basins are often perceived as having a negative impact on the elements of the petroleum system, though the impact of intrusion-related deformation features on petroleum systems and broader geoenergy applications is not well understood. In this study, we use 3D seismic reflection data to document a variety of deformation styles that are spatially and temporally associated late Cenozoic magmatic activity in the Bass Basin, offshore southeastern Australia; three types of normal fault systems (conjugate faults, concentric faults, radial faults) and fluid escape pipes. These deformation features occur in the overburden up to ∼600 m above underlying igneous intrusions, within the Eocene to Miocene Demons Bluff and Torquay formations. The conjugate faults bound graben and are interpreted to have formed in response to underlying dyke intrusions. The radial faults are interpreted to have formed in response to overburden uplift, though the link between these and associated igneous activity is less clear. We identify 101 fluid escape features that show variation in both the morphology of their surficial depressions and of the seismic reflection characteristics of their infilling deposits. These features are interpreted to be hydrothermal or volcanic vents with underlying pipe-like feeders, depending on their spatial association with adjacent or underlying igneous intrusions. The concentric fault systems are associated with surficial depressions, and quantitative analysis of reflection sags within these depressions suggest that they are a result of subsurface subsidence in response to formation of maar-craters. The intrusion-related deformation features documented in this study may have multiple effects on working petroleum systems, such as providing secondary fluid flow pathways that can either reduce seal integrity, or enabling migration of fluids into shallower reservoirs.

On the backs of giants: Geology of the Kentland impact structure, Newton County (Kentland) Quarry, Indiana (USA)—Building on Ray Gutschick’s legacy Available to Purchase
“…the frustration of discovering an unusually good exposure or feature only to have it quarried or covered in succeeding weeks is disheartening. On the other hand, quarry advance enables one to project the geology from time to time, which helps one to fill in the three-dimensional puzzle.” — Gutschick (1972) ABSTRACT We summarize and then build on the three decades of geological mapping and analyses done by Ray Gutschick at the Newton County (Kentland) quarry. We present our own new data and ideas on the kinematics and significance of radial faults, shock metamorphism, petrography and diagenesis of impact breccia dikes, impactite geochemistry, and a preliminary new paleomagnetically determined Jurassic age for the crater. We list and describe the stops for this field excursion.

Fracturing, thermal evolution and geophysical signature of the crater floor of a large impact structure: The case of the Sudbury Structure, Canada Available to Purchase
Impact modeling and post-impact cooling studies predict a unique fracture and post-impact temperature distribution within the crater floor of large meteorite impact structures. The integration of numerical modeling results and their application to the observed geophysical and current topographic data provides new insights into the early evolution of the deeply eroded Sudbury Structure. The modeling shows a maximum depth of melting of 30–40 km (depending on impact angle and impact velocity). However, melt from upper target layers (< 10 km) is mainly ejected during the excavation stage of crater formation, and the remaining melt is strongly biased to melt derived from lower crustal material. Two-dimensional thermal evolution modeling with various granophyre/norite thickness ratios shows that irrespective of the granophyre/norite thickness ratio, the hottest part of the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC) was near the crater center at the melt-pool bottom and within the crater floor, which supports precipitation of sulfides toward the crater floor. The 2D cooling models give compelling evidence for longevity of melt at the bottom of the SIC and partial remelting of the crater floor. The numerical model results are compared with observed topographic, seismic and magnetic data and provide important constraints on their interpretation. A unique slow cooling history is manifested in the broad magnetic signature of the SIC and the adjacent crater floor, and its pronounced remanent magnetization. The vast damage zone and the complex fracture pattern predicted for the crater floor is well preserved in the new high-resolution topographic data for the Sudbury Structure. These regional topographic data allow the distinction between inside-basin fabric (radial topographic lineaments) and crater-floor topographic fabric (radial and contact parallel lineaments), which corroborates the numerical modeling results of radial and concentric faults propagating up to tens of kilometers from the crater center.
Cerro do Jarau, Rio Grande do Sul: A possible new impact structure in southern Brazil Available to Purchase
Cerro do Jarau is a prominent, ~13.5-km-wide, circular landform rising >200 m above the plains of the “pampas” in southern Brazil. The name (meaning Jarau hills) comes from the prominent crests of silicified sandstones, which form a semiring of elevated hills in the northern part of the structure. The origin of this structure has been debated for decades, and varied suggestions of its formation include either endogenous tectonic processes or large meteorite impact. However, no conclusive evidence to support either hypothesis has been presented to date. This structure was formed in Mesozoic volcano-sedimentary rocks of the Paraná Basin and consists of the Jurassic-Cretaceous Guará (sandstones), Botucatu (sandstones), and Serra Geral (basalts) formations. The Botucatu Formation sandstones are intensely silicified and deformed, and were subject to radial and annular faulting. Our investigations at Cerro do Jarau identified the occurrence of parautochthonous monomict lithic breccia and polymict breccias resembling suevite and striated joint surfaces resembling crude shatter cones in sandstones and basalts. In addition, our first mineral deformation studies show the presence of rare planar features in quartz clasts in polymict breccias. The identification of these features at Cerro do Jarau, for the first time, is suggestive of an impact origin for the structure. If confirmed by further investigation of possible shock features, Cerro do Jarau would become the sixth known impact structure in Brazil, as well as the fifth basalt-hosted impact structure on Earth.
