Geology and mineralazation in the southern Lachlan Fold Belt: Metamorphism, folding and plutonism in the wagga metamorphic belt of N.E. Victoria

Abstract

Structural and metamorphic studies carried out in N.E. Victoria show that the classic low-pressure metamorphism described previously by Vallance (1953, 1967), Joplin (1942, 1944, 1947) and Guy (1968) consisted of a complex interaction of metamorphic events, compressional periods and granite intrusion. Large gaps exist on maps showing the geographical distribution of zonal index minerals due to burial by younger rocks and lack of study (Fig. 1).
