Radiometric dating of detrital zircon grains in sandstones across the Lachlan Orogen can provide key insight into their provenance. While there are a number of analyses reported from across the Lachlan Orogen, including Tasmania, there is very little information available from the Devonian sandstones of NE Tasmania. The aim is to add to data reported by Knight et al. (2022) so as to provide a representative suite of analyses from the Scamander Formation and link that to the other evidence of a changing depositional environment near the end of the Mathinna Supergroup cycle of deposition.
