Research dates submarine volcanic succession at Kennaook/Cape Grim
MRT has supported a study, published in the Australian Journal of Earth Sciences by J. M. Fox and others from the University of Tasmania, that includes the first 40Ar/39Ar geochronology for the Kennaook/Cape Grim volcanic succession. Furthermore, Little Trefoil Basalt has been re-interpreted from a subaerial extrusive unit to a submarine intrusive unit, and the stratigraphy of the Kennaook/Cape Grim volcanic succession has been revised.
