Parmeener supergroup (Lower Part) Poatina

In Tasmania, the lower (Permo-Carboniferous) rocks of the Parmeener Supergroup are almost everywhere subhorizontal, and rest with pronounced landscape unconformity on a folded basement sequence, which is variously composed of Precambrian and early Palaeozoic strata. In order to appreciate the late Palaeozoic history of the Central Plateau district, it is necessary to understand the nature of this unconformity.
