Abstract:
Many prospective basins in rifted continental margins, including those located along the western Australian continental margin, contain extrusive and intrusive rocks generated during rifting and particularly during continental breakup. Intrusive igneous systems in rifted margin basins are typically characterized by networks of interconnected, laterally and vertically extensive sheet complexes (e.g. sills and dykes) that transgress basin stratigraphy
