Outcrops occur as small blocks partly bounded by Tertiary and Ordovician cover sequences (Lewis 1991). Peak eclogite- and amphibolite-grade metamorphic conditions occurred at 700-740C and 1300-1500 MPa (Lewis 1991), during the Cambrian (Black et al. 1997; Turner et al. 1998). Metamorphic rims on zircons yielded a SHRIMP age at 514+\4 Ma; while the zircons themselves range from 1400 to 1800 Ma. Show strong garnet and clinopyroxene metamorphic layering. Major element concentrations, as well as fine laminations in the schists indicate a sedimentary protolith prior to metamorphism. Schist geochemistry suggest sedimentary mixing between mafic volcaniclastics (with 1-2% TiO2) and continental-derived siliciclastics (e.g. Oonah or Burnie turbidites).|||||Pelitic schist, extensive amphibolite and garnet-clinopyroxene amphibolite, low-NaO2 clonopyroxene.|

Include the Franklin and Joyce Metamorphic Complexes as defined in Turner (1989). Peak eclogite- and amphibolite-grade metamorphism occurred at 730C and 1500-1700 MPa (Kamperman 1984), during the Cambrian (Black et al. 1997; Turner et al. 1998). Zircon from one eclogite sample yielded an age of 502+\-8 Ma, interpreted as metamorphic age. Show strong garnet and clinopyroxene metamorphic layering. Eclogites are similar to the least evolved of the amphibolite and Neoproterozoic basalt in western Tasmania, but with constant TiO2 in the rocks, indicates that it is probably not of primary magmatic origin. Major element concentrations indicate the schists had a sedimentary protolith prior to metamorphism. Schist geochemistry suggest a continental-derived, fine-grained sedimentary protolith e.g. continental shale (e.g. post-Archaean Australian shale: Taylor and McClennan 1985) and Neoproterozoic Tasmanian mudstone and sandstone (e.g. Oonah Formation: Selley 1997; Mueller 1998). |||||Pelitic schist; garnet-, kyaniteand albite-bearing schists, minor quartzite and lenses of amphibolite, and small eclogite bodies|

Comprises an 800m-thick footwall member beneath a 0-160m-thick host rock member.||Northern Central Volcanic Complex||Underlies Rosebery Shale or White Spur Formation. Overlies Mount Black Volcanics, and (also included in) Northern Central Volcanic Complex.|Pumice breccia, up to 800m thick, consisting of a series of graded, syn-eruptive mass-flow deposits, individually up to 200m thick, with some intercalated felsic lavas and sills.|

LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating yields concordia intercept age of 374.5+\-4.2/5.1 Ma, consistent with zircon SHRIMP age of 372+\-2 Ma reported by Kositcin and Everard (2013), compared to mean biotite K-Ar age of 350+\-10 Ma (McDougall and Leggo, 1965), two whole-rock Rb-Sr isotopic ages of 353+\-7 Ma (Brooks, 1966) and 352.6+\-10 Ma (Sawka et al., 1990), and an Ar-Ar hornblende age of 364.2+\-1.7 Ma (Sawka et al., 1990). Formed after Tabberabberan Orogeny (c. 390 Ma; docking of E and W Tasmanian Terranes) and ensuing crustal delamination and lithospheric upwelling. Basaltic magmatism during post-collisional extension contributed enough heat to partially melt overlying lower-crusted Proterozoic amphibolites, and to assimilate considerable amounts of upper-crusted sedimentary rocks, and after a period of protracted stagnation, resulted in felsic metaluminous I-type and peraluminous S-type granites, ranging from 374 to 360 Ma.|374+\-4 Ma||||I-type granite.

Commonly abbreviated in the text as NCVC; also appears as Northern Central Volcanic Sequence. ?Underlies pumice breccia (Hercules and Kershaw Pumice Formations), Rosebery Shale, White Spur Formation. Unfossiliferous: mainly Floran age but may extend into Templetonian. Suggestion that Northern CVC is older than Southern CVC but difficult to confirm. Similar rocks to Southern CVC, although no direct evidence of age or correlation. Different from SCVC: no obvious connection to Eastern Quartz-Phyric Sequence, no granitic intrusions, originally surrounded by sedimentary rocks, and is intruded by abundant tholeiitic mafic dykes (absent from SCVC). NCVC may represent a rifted part of the early Mount Read Volcanics 'arc'.

Minor dolerite intrusions on the north coast have geochemical links with Tayatea Dyke Swarm, not Cooee Dolerite (as suggested by Spry, 1957 and Gee, 1967). Poor age constraints discussed: maximum from detrital zircons (Black et al., 2004); minimum from overlying unit. Forms E part of Arthur Metamorphic Complex. Three successions long regarded as correlates (e.g. Spry 1962a,1964; Gee 1967a; Turner 1989a; Reed et al. 2002; Black et al. 2004) are Oonah Formation (western Tas; Hills and Carey 1949; Spry 1958a; Brown 1986), Burnie Formation (northern Tas; Spry 1957a), and Badger Head Group (Badger Head Inlier; Gee and Legge 1979; Reed et al. 2002).

Intrudes into Western Volcano-Sedimentary Sequences, Central Volcanic Complex, and Eastern Quartz-Phyric Sequence, with a U-Pb zircon age of 497.8+\-3.2 Ma. Interpreted as subvolcanic intrusions genetically related to the host volcanic successions (Large et al., 1996), and may have played important roles in driving hydrothermal circulation that formed VHMS deposits in the belt (Large et al., 1996; Huston et al., 2011).|497.8+\-3.2 Ma||||Medium-grained quartz + K-feldspar + plagioclase + biotite + hornblende+\-apatite+\-zircon+\-rutile granite or granodiorite.|

A 3 to 5 km-wide zone extending from Mt Darwin to Mt Murchison. Often abbreviated in the text to SCVC. Shown as stratigraphically equivalent to Yolande River Sequence and Eastern Quartz-Phyric Sequence. Suggestion that Northern Central Volcanic Complex is older than Southern Central Volcanic Complex but difficult to confirm. Appears also as Southern Central Volcanic Sequence. Potassic alteration of rhyolite occurs at contact with Darwin Granite in the Jukes-Darwin Range. Hosts the large hydrothermal zone with associated mineralisation at Mt Lyell (Comstock mine where it contacts overlying Tyndall Group); and intense sericite-chlorite-silica-pyrite alteration along Great Lyell Fault. Hosts some andesitic to basaltic volcanic centres in Queenstown to Anthony Road area, that just pre-date Tyndall Group, probably late Undillan.||Central Volcanic Complex||Underlies Anthony Road Andesite, Tyndall Group. Contacts Yolande River Sequence; interfingers with Eastern Quartz-Phyric Sequence.

Strong sub-horizontal cleavage and a steeply dipping crenulation cleavage. Unit split into four domains based on radiometric image including the Industry Road Member and a middle brighter zone (RBZ) that follows bedding. 476 +/- 32 Ma U-Pb detrital zircon maximum depositional age, 468 +/- 9 Ma U-Pb detrital monazite age interpreted as maximum age for the dominant cleavage, 394 +/-5 Ma U-Pb xenotime age interpreted as minimum age for the dominant cleavage, consistent with the Benambran Orogeny (440 Ma).
