sample_remark Craven et al 2012 paraphrased: "The Wongwibinda Metamorphic Complex (WMC) is a high-temperature, low-pressure belt in the southern New England Orogen. The WMC is located within the Central Tablelands Complex of the southern New England Orogen. The WMC is dominated by an accreted package of Devonian and Carboniferous deep marine sedimentary rocks called the Girrakool Beds. The Abroi Granodiorite pluton , one component of the WMC, is undeformed in the west and becomes increasingly gneissic towards the Wongwibinda Fault and it intrudes variably metamorphosed siliceous turbidites. However, there is little evidence to support advection by S-type magmatism as the source for the high regional metamorphic field gradient. The Zircons extracted from the granodiorite are typically colourless to pale straw, euhedral to subhedral and equant to prismatic. Grains also exhibit oscillatory, magmatic zoning in cathodoluminescence."
