Trying to confirm a shoreline after a few billion years of erosion is a bit of an ask. What I do find interesting is that Cape York and immediate surrounds have phyllosilicates which would seem to indicate a long lasting, non acidic water influence. in the deeper areas around Cape York are the typical Meridiani sulphates indicating a second sedimentary deposition. In this scenario equating phyllosolicates to permanent surface standing water is really seductive.
