A system of parallel arcuate ridges dominates the topography of the Billa Kalina area; facies relationships indicate that they are silicified strandlines of a Miocene lake which have been etched out by later erosion. Clays and dolomites of the Miocene...

This report concerns the stratigraphic setting and palaeontology of nonmarine Mollusca to complement continuing investigations by R. A. Callen in Lake Frome and southern Strzelecki Desert, and to provide supporting data on palaeoecology and...

Major deposits of palygorskite group minerals were formed in 3 different environments :(1) as chemical sediments, or early diagenetic transformations of certain smectite group clays, in epicontinental and inland seas and lakes; (2) by diagenesis of...

A hydrological survey to update information for the MURLOOCOPPIE 1:250 000 geological sheet was carried out in October and November 1975. Approximately 80 water wells were located and photographed. Nearly all wells are used for stock water. Salinity...

A detailed description and interpretation of the carbonate lithologies present in drill cores recovered from two recently completed SADME stratigraphic wells have revealed that the Observatory Hill Beds in the Marla area were deposited in a shallow...

In a recent paper Williams and Goode (1978) proposed that the ancestral Murray River in South Australia debouched into Spencer Gulf in the region of the mouth of the River Broughton, just south of Port Pirie, during the Eocene and/or late Middle to...

This thesis describes the physiographic features of the Adelaide region, and their interpreted significance for elucidating past climatic, hydrological and biotal conditions. The application of physiographic mapping in modern land use management is...

Shallow drilling (<30 metres) at 14 sites intersected a regressive coastal sequence of Quaternary bioclastic sediments deposited in coastal aeolian, littoral, lagoonal and evaporative-lagoonal environments. Major calcrete carapaces assist the...

Amino acid racemization data provide the basis for a predictive model for relative dating of late Quaternary coastal sequences. The extent of racemization on Last Interglacial fossils represents a linear function of latitude in southern Australia....

Marginal marine strata of last interglacial age occur in a range of morphostratigraphic settings around the Australian coastline. Uranium-series ages for corals and molluscs are generally in accord with the accepted age for oxygen isotope substage 5e...

Extensive field geological mapping, augmented by petrological and geochemical studies, reinterpretation of company drilling and water-bore logs and a nine-hole drilling programme has detailed the geology of the KINGOONYA area. The stratigraphy spans...

Recent advances in the understanding of the target Cambrian stratigraphy and its palaeogeographic setting, in combination with a realistic mineralization model, have established that the southern Arrowie Basin platform margin could be host to a...

The Adelaide Geosyncline is a deeply subsident Neoproterozoic to Middle Cambrian basin complex in South Australia with a record of at least five major successive rift cycles. Each rift system has its own locus and orientation. Although the rift...

The Neoproterozoic to Palaeozoic Officer Basin is located on and adjacent to the northwestern margin of the Gawler Craton. Deposition of the basin began in Adelaidean time, before and during the breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia. The...

The availability of adequate water supplies is crucial to future development, particularly in the arid areas of the State. Primary Industries and Resources South Australia (PIRSA), as part of the Spencer Regions Strategic Water Management Study, has...

Palynological analyses of nine grab samples from the Lochiel coal test pit show two distinct floristic types, i.e. Haloragacidites spp. dominated and Nothofagidites spp. dominated palynofloras. This distinction is interpreted as indicating a change...

The Cainozoic Eucla Basin has been the focus of recent heavy mineral exploration due to the recognition of Tertiary coastal features including the Ooldea Range. Hypsometric and Landsat data, together with detailed work on the Tertiary stratigraphy of...
