The Geomorphological Evolution Of A Wave-Dominated Barrier Estuary: Burrill Lake, New South Wales, Australia, Brian G. Jones, Craig R. Sloss, David M. Price, C.E. Mcclennen, John De Carli
The Geomorphological Evolution Of A Wave-Dominated Barrier Estuary: Burrill Lake, New South Wales, Australia, Brian G. Jones, Craig R. Sloss, David M. Price, C.E. Mcclennen, John De Carli
B. G. Jones
The geomorphological evolution of the Holocene wave-dominated barrier estuary at Burrill Lake on the New South Wales coast, Australia, has been delineated using a combination of seismic stratigraphy and the lithostratigraphic analysis of vibracores collected from the back-barrier estuarine environment. A combination of radiocarbon and aspartic acid racemisation-derived ages obtained on Holocene fossil molluscs, and the thermoluminescent signal in remnant Last Interglacial barrier sediments provides the chronological framework for this investigation. Results from this paper show that the barrier estuary occupies a relatively narrow (<1.5 km wide) and shallow (<40 m deep) incised bedrock valley formed during sea-level …

On The Possible Origins Of An Unusual (Mid To Late Holocene) Coastal Deposit, Old Punt Bay, South-East Australia, Brian Jones, Adam Switzer, S Haslett, Dale Dominey-Howes, D Everett, C Courtney, B Mamo, L Strotz
On The Possible Origins Of An Unusual (Mid To Late Holocene) Coastal Deposit, Old Punt Bay, South-East Australia, Brian Jones, Adam Switzer, S Haslett, Dale Dominey-Howes, D Everett, C Courtney, B Mamo, L Strotz

An unusual coarse, shelly sedimentary unit is found elevated above present mean sea level in a sheltered pocket embayment at Old Punt Bay in south-eastern Australia. The coarse sediments, diverse microfauna, and large shelly macrofauna of mixed affinity suggest that the deposit is the result of high-energy deposition. The deposit was previously thought to have been deposited 1000-1300 cal bp based on one shell dated using 14C and amino acid racemisation. However, additional 14C dating indicates a likely age of ~2500 cal bp. Regardless of age constraints, the presence of rock-encrusting oyster shells and large articulated bivalves, suggests that the …
Patterns And Rates Of Sedimentary Infill In The Minnamurra River Estuary, South-Eastern Australia, K Panayotou, Colin Woodroffe, Brian Jones, Bryan Chenhall, Errol Mclean, H Heijnis
Patterns And Rates Of Sedimentary Infill In The Minnamurra River Estuary, South-Eastern Australia, K Panayotou, Colin Woodroffe, Brian Jones, Bryan Chenhall, Errol Mclean, H Heijnis

This paper presents a revised process-based model that explores aspects of estuarine geomorphology and the rates and patterns of sedimentary infill based upon the Minnamurra River estuary, a mature barrier estuary in south-eastern Australia. The Minnamurra River is located on the south coast of New South Wales and is characterised by three main facies: a marine flood tide delta/barrier, a central lagoon/estuary and a fluvial delta. The sedimentary record in this system was examined in detail to quantify the rate of estuarine infill. This predominantly infilled mature barrier estuary is now largely dominated by river influence. In the early stages …
