Resulting collisions caused a crustal block from the southern part of the Lachlan orogen of southeastern Australia to become detached from its lower lithosphere and escape to the northwest as a crustal flake. This escaping block then became incorporated into the western part of the Lachlan orogen as a separate terrane. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
