The relation of the structural evolution of the Macquarie syncline to sedimentation in the Moon Island beach sub-group, New South Wales

In the Macquarie Syncline and a number of other areas of the Sydney Basin there is an apparent relationship between the thickness of some formations and the present-day structure of the Basin. Trend-surface analysis of borehole information has been used to quantitatively analyse both the structure and thickness data of the Moon Island Beach Sub-group into regional and local components. The vertical variation of the Sub-group has been analysed using Markov Chain analysis.
