The
Centralian Superbasin is a term for a large
intracratonic sedimentary basin which is interpreted to have occupied a large area of central, southern and western
Australia during much of the
Neoproterozoic (~830-540
Ma). This superbasin was disrupted by two periods of uplift and mountain building, the latest Neoproterozoic
Petermann Orogeny and
Palaeozoic Alice Springs Orogeny, to leave remnants including the
Amadeus,
Georgina,
Ngalia, and
Officer basins.
