Takaka Terrane (original) (raw)
The Takaka Terrane is a Paleozoic terrane that outcrops in the South Island of New Zealand. It is most extensively exposed within the Kahurangi National Park in the Tasman District. The terrane is mostly made up of marble and volcanic rocks but is highly variable in composition. It ranges in age from mid-Cambrian to Devonian time (510–400 Ma), including New Zealand's oldest rocks, which are found in the Cobb Valley in north-west Nelson. The Cobb Valley is also the location of "Trilobite Rock" a glacial dropstone made from the moulted exoskeletons of trilobites. Asbestos was mined in the Cobb Valley from the Takaka Terrene between the late 1880s and 1917. The Takaka Terrane is highly deformed and has been intruded by many batholiths.

(en) Il Takaka Terrane affiora nei monti del distretto di Tasman, nella provincia occidentale della Nuova Zelanda. Il terrane è costituito per lo più da marmo e rocce vulcaniche, ma ha una composizione molto variabile. L'età varia dal Cambriano al Devoniano (510-400 milioni di anni fa) e include le rocce più antiche della Nuova Zelanda, ritrovate nella Cobb Valley, nella parte nordoccidentale della provincia di Nelson. Nella valle del fiume Cobb si trova anche la "Trilobite Rock" (roccia delle trilobiti), un ammasso roccioso di origine glaciale formato dagli esoscheletri delle trilobiti. Nella Cobb valley, tra il 1880 e il 1917, veniva estratto l'asbesto appartenente al Takaka Terrane. Il terrane è oggi fortemente deformato ed è stato intruso da molte batoliti. (it) |
