The maps illustrate for the first time, the continental extent and age relationships of Proterozoic mafic and ultramafic rocks and their associated mineral deposits. These rocks have been assigned to thirty Magmatic Events (ME) that range in age from the Early Palaeoproterozoic ~2455 Ma (ME 1) to the Early Cambrian ~520 Ma (ME 30). Resource package contains: - Australian Proterozoic Mafic-Ultramafic Magmatic Events: Map Sheets 1 and 2 - Guide to Using the Australian Proterozoic Mafic-Ultramafic Magmatic Events Map - Spreadsheets of data that support the maps - A time series animation summarising all the mafic-ultramafic magmatic events {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[112.0, -45.0], [155.0, -45.0], [155.0, -10.0], [112.0, -10.0], [112.0, -45.0]]]} 112.0 155.0 -45.0 -10.0 AU Data Package Earth Sciences Published_External geochemistry geochronology geology mineral deposits mineral exploration Related Product documentDigital Related product: Australian Proterozoic Mafic-Ultramafic Magmatic Events: Map Sheets 1 and 2 HTML Related Product documentDigital Related product: Guide to Using the Australian Proterozoic Mafic-Ultramafic Magmatic Events Map HTML Related Product documentDigital Related product: Archean Mafic-Ultramafic Magmatic Events Resource Package HTML Related Product documentDigital Related product: Guide to using the Australian Archean Mafic-Ultramafic Magmatic Events Map HTML Related Product documentDigital Related product: Proterozoic Large Igneous Provinces: Map Sheets 1 and 2 HTML Related Product documentDigital Related product: Guide to using the Map of Australian Proterozoic Large Igneous Provinces HTML Download the file (pdf) documentDigital Download the file (pdf) ZIP Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML
