Devonian Geology of Copper Mine Range, far west New South Wales
Abstract. The NW-trending Copper Mine Range, 40 km WSW of White Cliffs in far west
New South Wales, is bounded in the west by the NW-trending Koonenberry Fault. Fluvial
strata forming the range comprise eight ?Emsian-Eifelian (Devonian) units which together
are ~3000 m thick. They unconformably overly Precambrian strata, except near Cupala Creek
where they unconformably overlie Precambrian strata. South of the Copper Mine Range, and
adjacent to the eastern margin of the Koonenberry Fault, are brecciated quartzose arenites,
which are probably coeval with Unit 2 of Copper Mine Range. Unconformably above them
are four units of lightly indurated, fluvial ?late Mid Devonian-Late Devonian strata that are
altogether >1200 m thick. The basal conglomerate Unit A, >600 m thick, is fault bounded.
Unit B, >700 m thick, lies south of Unit A and comprises fine sandstone, which contains a
lenticular, 450 m thick sedimentary breccia (Unit C). Unit D is mapped in the north and is
younger than Units A, B and C.

Trace Elements in Coal Science
D.J. Swaine
Abstract. Trace elements are relevant in several aspects of coal science. Five topics are dealt
with in detail, namely, the occurrence of trace elements, boron as an influence of marine
influence, boiler deposits, fluorine in coal, and the deposition of trace elements from the
atmosphere. There is an increasing interest in the fate of trace elements from the combustion
of coal for power production, especially environmental aspects of trace elements from the
atmosphere and from ash disposal areas. Several suggestions for future work are outlined.
