The Late Miocene Southern and Central Taranaki Inversion Phase (SCTIP) and related sequence stratigraphy and paleogeography

Vonk, Adam J.; Kamp, Peter J.J. (2008)

We present a new sequence stratigraphic scheme for Taranaki Basin that identifies four 3rd order duration (3 - 4 m.y.) sequences of Middle Miocene to Pleistocene age. These include: (i) the late-Middle Miocene (upper ...
Te Kuiti Group (Late Eocene - Oligocene) lithostratigraphy east of Taranaki Basin in central-western North Island, New Zealand

Tripathi, Anand R.P.; Kamp, Peter J.J.; Nelson, Campbell S. (The University of Waikato, 2008)

This report presents a lithostratigraphy for the Late Eocene - Oligocene Te Kuiti Group that crops out in central-western North Island, New Zealand, between Port Waikato in the north and Awakino in the south. The Te Kuiti ...
Late Miocene-Early Pliocene Matemateaonga Formation in eastern Taranaki Peninsula: A new 1:50,000 geological map and stratigraphic framework

Vonk, Adam J.; Kamp, Peter J.J. (2004)

In recent years the Matemateaonga Formation has become an additional exploration play in Taranaki Basin. Exploration interest has been stimulated by the success of Swift Energy Company in the Rimu/Kauri prospect (38719), ...
Note on paramoudra-like carbonate concretions in the Urenui Formation, North Taranaki: possible plumbing system for a Late Miocene methane seep field

Nelson, Campbell S.; Schellenberg, Francesca; King, Peter R.; Ricketts, Brian D.; Kamp, Peter J.J.; Browne, Gregory H.; Campbell, Kathleen A. (2004)

A reconnaissance study of calcitic and dolomitic tubular concretions in upper slope mudstone of the Late Miocene Urenui Formation exposed along the north Taranaki coastline indicates that they have a complex diagenetic ...
Petrologic evidence for earliest Miocene tectonic mobility on eastern Taranaki Basin margin

Hood, Steven D.; Nelson, Campbell S.; Kamp, Peter J.J.; Tripathi, Anand A. (2006)

At Gibsons Beach on the west coast of central North Island, the earliest Miocene (Waitakian) Otorohanga Limestone, the top-most formation in the Te Kuiti Group, is unconformably overlain on an undulating, locally channelised ...
Eastern Taranaki Basin field guide.

Kamp, Peter J.J.; Vonk, Adam J. (2006)

Linking the onshore and offshore parts of Eastern Taranaki Basin: Insights to stratigraphic architecture, sedimentary facies, sequence stratigraphy, paleogeography and hydrocarbon exploration from the on land record.
Evolution of the Giant Foresets Formation, northern Taranaki Basin, New Zealand

Hansen, Rochelle J.; Kamp, Peter J.J. (2002)

Plio-Pleistocene aggradation and progradation has resulted in the rapid outbuilding of the continental shelf margin, northern Taranaki Basin. Seismic reflection profiles reveal that this outbuilding is characterised by ...
Discriminating cool-water from warm-water carbonates and their diagenetic environments using element geochemistry: the Oligocene Tikorangi Formation (Taranaki Basin) and the dolomite effect

Hood, Steven D.; Nelson, Campbell S.; Kamp, Peter J.J. (2004)

Fields portrayed within bivariate element plots have been used to distinguish between carbonates formed in warm- (tropical) water and cool- (temperate) water depositional settings. Here, element concentrations (Ca, Mg, Sr, ...
Neogene stratigraphic architecture and tectonic evolution of Wanganui, King Country, and eastern Taranaki Basins, New Zealand

Kamp, Peter J.J.; Vonk, Adam J.; Bland, Kyle J.; Hansen, Rochelle J.; Hendy, Austin J.W.; McIntyre, Avon P.; Ngatai, Melodie; Cartwright, Stuart J.; Hayton, Shaun; Nelson, Campbell S. (2004)

Analysis of the stratigraphic architecture of the fills of Wanganui, King Country, and eastern Taranaki Basins reveals the occurrence of five 2nd order Late Paleocene and Neogene sequences of tectonic origin. The oldest ...
New insights into the condensed nature and stratigraphic significance of the Late Neogene Ariki Formation, Taranaki Basin

Hansen, Rochelle J.; Kamp, Peter J.J. (2008)

The Ariki Formation is a distinctive Late Miocene – Early Pliocene marl facies rich in planktic foraminifera, reaching thicknesses in the range 70 - 109 m in most exploration holes drilled into the Western Platform northwest ...
