Abstract:
The Early Cretaceous Birdrong Sequence (S. tabulata - P. burgeri) represents the final episode of coarse clastic sedimentation across the Barrow Sub-Basin prior to transgression and the deposition of the Mardie Greensand - the 'last gasp' of the Barrow Delta. A multi-disciplinary study of the Birdrong has been undertaken in the East Spar, Woollybutt, and John Brookes fields of the northern Barrow Delta complex, Northern Carnarvon Basin. This integrated approach has utilised wireline, sedimentologic, ichnologic and biostratigraphic data to produce a sequence stratigraphic interpretation revealing new insight into the evolution of the Barrow Delta.
