Late Devonian sedimentation in the southern Bonaparte Basin was controlled by, and provides a record of, contemporaneous fault movements in the Halls Creek Orogen. An important episode of Late Devonian faulting caused uplift and southward tilting of the Carr Boyd Ranges block and uplift and northward tilting of the O'Donnell Ranges block forming the Galloping Creek and Ragged Ranges sub-basins, respectively. Uplift of the Carr Boyd Ranges provided the eastern source of the Ragged Range Conglomerate, while the south-dipping Carr Boyd Ranges and the uplifted O'Donnell Ranges and Bow River blocks formed the northern and western sources of the Galloping Creek Formation. Conglomeratic facies on both the northern and southwestern margins of the Galloping Creek Sub-basin record interaction with a fault-controlled topography. The apparent lack of unconformities within the northern Galloping Creek Formation and the progressive increase in siltstone content towards the centre of the sub-basin suggest that faulting was no longer an active driver for sedimentation. While alluvial fan deposition infilled the southwestern part of the sub-basin, the remainder of the Galloping Creek Formation was deposited by fluvial systems that changed from an initial proximal braided stream character to a later distal character with more extensive floodplain deposition. Post-depositional folding and faulting of the Galloping Creek Sub-basin were confined to movement on the Halls Creek and Glenhill faults with a probable 10+ km of sinistral offset and uplift of the western block along at least the latter.

Australian Journal of Earth Sciences

澳大利亚地球科学杂志发表同行评议的研究论文以及地球科学家普遍感兴趣的重要评论文章。该杂志涵盖了地球科学的整个领域，包括盆地研究、区域地球物理研究和成矿学。每年通常有一个主题问题，其中精选了关于地球科学特定领域的论文。鼓励较短的论文，并优先发表。还鼓励对最近发表的论文进行批判性讨论。

The AGSO Journal of Australian Geology and Geophysics is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes research papers and significant review articles of interest to geoscientists. The journal covers the entire field of geoscience, including basin studies, regional geophysical research, and mineralization. Each year, there is typically a themed issue that features selected papers on specific areas of geoscience. Shorter papers are encouraged and given priority for publication. Critical discussions on recently published papers are also welcomed.
