Thick sediment cover in the Proterozoic Curnamona Province impedes effective mineral exploration in some of the most prospective areas located away from bedrock outcrop. The objectives of the CurnaMinEx project are to test the effectiveness of surface...

Stratigraphic drilling has been undertaken by PIRSA in the South Australian portion of the northern Murray Basin to investigate the stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Cainozoic sedimentary sequences, as well as the heavy mineral sand potential of...

18 drill cuttings samples obtained from three shallow PIRSA stratigraphic holes drilled in the Port Lincoln and Mount Hope regions of the southern Eyre Peninsula (LINC 10, LINC 13, LINC 47) have been palynologically analysed and dated. Palynomorphs...

A palynological analysis made of 25 cutting samples from three TEISA program stratigraphic drillholes (PIVA 1, PIVA 5 and PIVA 10) revealed distinctive microfloristic assemblages. Dinoflagellate cysts offer a reliable method for distinguishing the...

Palynological analyses of eight core samples taken from the Caroline 1 drillhole, onshore Gambier Basin, over the depth interval 748-827 m KB, indicate the presence of the Early Eocene, Lower Malvacipollis diversus Spore-Pollen Zone. A reconstruction...

Palynological analyses of eight cuttings and three sidewall core samples from the petroleum exploration drillhole Troas 1, in the SA offshore Otway Basin, show two distinctive microfloristic assemblages. The youngest samples are dated as Late Eocene,...

Three drill cutting samples of carbonaceous sands were submitted for palynological analysis. The spore-pollen assemblages of drillholes NR 3 (from the depth interval 16-18 m) and NR 4 (16-18 m) are possibly of the latest Eocene Upper Nothofagidites...

In South Australia, Cambrian massive salt deposits of the eastern Officer Basin occur in troughs lying along the western and north-western margins of the Gawler Craton, and are considered to have been deposited in marginal to open marine environments....

A new generation, first edition WINTINNA 1:250 000 scale geological map and explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's geological mapping program undertaken in the...

A new generation, second edition MARREE 1:250 000 scale geological map and its explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's latest geological mapping program (1993 to...

The STRZELECKI 1:250 000 map area lies adjacent to the NSW border in the centre of the Strzelecki Desert, and covers some of the main hydrocarbon producing areas in SA around Moomba. Most of these oil and gas fields are located in the northern half of...

The PARACHILNA map area (31 to 32°S, 138 to 139.5°E) occupies the central Flinders Ranges which are made up of folded, mostly marine sedimentary Neoproterozoic and Cambrian rocks of the Adelaide Geosyncline, and adjoining plains underlain by Cainozoic...
