1st
Gallery of Devonian Carbonates of North East margin of Canning Basin,
Western Australia
Introduction
This is
the first page which links to a gallery of diagrams and photographs
that illustrate the geology of the Canning Basin Devonian Reef Complexes
that outcrop in Western Australia. The photographs were largely
taken by Christopher Kendall on a field trip lead by Phil Playford
for the Geological Society of Australia in 1981. Nearly all the
diagrams you see in this gallery were created by Phil Playford and
he kindly allowed the photographs of these to be taken Christopher
Kendall. The rocks you see here are among a few that were colleced
in the field by Chris Kendall and Noel James. They were slabbed
and thin sectioned by Noel James. We hope you enjoy the results
of our joint collaboration. Our special thanks to Phil Playford,
who enabled us all to enjoy a special and memorable trip. The localities
refered to in the gallery can be found in the 1981 Field Excursion
Guidebook of the Fifth Australian Geological Convention.
