Abstract
Ion microprobe U-Pb dating of zircons extracted from a narow tuff band in the Lower Cambrian Heatherdale Shale of South Australia produced an age of 526 ± 4 Ma (95% confidence limits). Local and regional trilobite and archaeocyathan evidence indicates that the tuff is latest Atdabanian or Botomian. The tuff shortly predates the onset of the Delamerian Orogeny. -Authors
