Ngalia Basin


The Ngalia Basin is a small intracratonic sedimentary basin in central Australia, lying within the southern Northern Territory. Deposition of locally up to about six km of marine and non-marine sedimentary rocks took place from the Neoproterozoic to the late Paleozoic. Along with other nearby sedimentary basins of similar age, the Ngalia Basin is believed to have once been part of the hypothetical Centralian Superbasin, that was fragmented during episodes of tectonic activity.
