Figure F1. Locality map showing Cretaceous-Cenozoic sedimentary basins of southeast Australia, after Exon et al. (in press a). Stipple indicates depocenters with >1500 m of Cretaceous and Cenozoic sedimentary section. Also shown are ODP and DSDP sites and bathymetry. CS = Cape Sorell No. 1 petroleum exploration well, ETS = East Tasman Saddle, STS = South Tasman Saddle, NB = Ninene Basin. Since Eocene or Oligocene times, strong easterly currents have swept shallower South Tasman Rise (STR) areas, the southern Tasmanian margin, and the South Tasman Saddle between Tasmania and the STR, reducing sedimentation rates.
