Palaeoproterozoic orogenicdomains (>1.8 Ga) form thebasement to the North AustralianCraton (Pine Creek Orogen,Tanami and northern Aruntaregions, Warramunga Province,and Murphy and Arnhem inliers).They include remnants ofArchaean rocks (>2.5 Ga).
Palaeo- to Mesoproterozoic(1.8 - 1.4 Ga) sedimentaryplatform covers include theMcArthur, South Nicholson andVictoria-Birrindudu basins andthe Tomkinson Creek andDavenport provinces of theTennant Region.
To the south, the rocks of theNorth Australian Craton pass intothe Central Australian mobilebelts (Warumpi, Irindina andMusgrave provinces).

Compiled: R Clifton 2008A vertical derivative of the NT TMI stitch was reduced to pole normally, seen here in red. A further reduction to pole with constant 040° inclination and 090° declination is shown in green.
The resulting stereogram needs red-green glasses for full effect.Where red and green light are equal in superposition, the eye perceives yellow.
Cartography: IM BurganProduced by the Northern Territory Geological Survey, Department of Primary Industry, Fisheries and Mines, Darwin, Australia.
Issued under the authority of the Minister for Mines and Energy, Mr CHRIS NATT MLA.This map is available from Minerals and Energy Information Centre, 3rd Floor Centrepoint Building, Darwin. Phone (61) 8 89996443, Fax (61) 8 89995221, Email [email protected].
The recommended reference for this map is: Clifton R, 2008. Magnetic Depths of the Northern Territory, 1:2 500 000 scale. Northern Territory Geological Survey, Darwin.
The quality of the data used toconstruct the magnetic depthsimage is a function of the flightline spacing, along line sampling,flying height and positionalaccuracy.
Surveys undertaken with a flightline spacing of 500 m or lesswere flown at an altitude of60 - 100 m above ground level.Surveys which employed a flightline spacing in excess of 500 mwere flown at an altitude of150 - 400 m.
