Gawler Craton - Northwestern Fowler Domain

Northwestern Fowler Domain

Fowler Domain is a major tectonic zone on the north-western flank of the Gawler craton comprising dense, magnetic, highly deformed, intermediate to ultramafic intrusives overlain by thin Tertiary sands and recent sand dunes. Aeromagnetic surveys show the presence of a high concentration of crustal scale fractures and faults in this area. These structures could have provided pathways for the intrusion of mafic-ultramafic bodies with potential for nickel sulphides, chromite and platinoids.
