Geology
Baralaba Coal Measures of Late Permian age dipping west at 13 to
19 degrees. Twelve coal seams have been recognised for correlation
purposes (Seam X & Seams 1 to 11). Seam thicknesses range from
1m to 6m with an average cumulative coal thickness in the measures
of 17m. Despite the relatively high dips there appears to have been
little structural deformation of the coal measures over a 30km strike
length. A major west northwest trending fault of unknown
displacement is located just north of the town of Theodore where the
Dawson River cuts accross the coal measures. Another major fault
having a similar strike occurs 5 km further north. Displacements of up
to 45m have been recorded on this fault.
