Generalised contouring of the Mount Lofty Ranges aimed at reconstructing the Tertiary landsurface topography has identified the locations of a number of possible buried fluvial valleys and channels associated with the St Vincent Basin palaeodrainage,...

Plant macrofossils from silicified Cainozoic fluvial sediments on CURDIMURKA occur in 2 discrete suites. One suite has been found only in outcrops of silicified Eyre Formation in the Poole Creek Palaeochannel. This suite and the macroflora of the...

Sedimentation in the Great Australian Bight (GAB) has occurred in a variety of settings from the initial intra-cratonic rift to the modern carbonate shelf. An extensive palaeodrainage system, remnants of which are still preserved, supplied clastic...

This paper describes the type fossil occurrences, their present-day geological setting and, as deduced from properties of the host sediments, their interpreted palaeogeographic locations and palaeoenvironmental depositional facies which probably...

Stable isotopes (deuterium, carbon-13 and oxygen-18) and radiocarbon (carbon-14) have been used in conjunction with chemical data to evaluate recharge mechanisms, groundwater residence time and palaeohydrology within the confined Dilwyn Formation sand...

Reassessment of age frequency of published and unpublished radiocarbon dates from the Strzelecki Desert and Lake Frome - Lake Callabonna region in northeastern South Australia has delineated some Late Pleistocene climatic events. These include...

The Murray Basin contains major deposits of heavy mineral sands, and intensive exploration for them is currently being conducted in Victoria, SA and NSW. It is evident that the western part of the basin was well supplied during the Pliocene and Early...

This Report describes a number of Permian glacial features from the northwestern section of Fleurieu Peninsula (Fig. 1), from where little information is available. The observations reported here provide further evidence on the characteristics of...

The framework of Kangaroo Island was largely established during the Cambrian, when widespread marine sedimentation resulted in thick accumulations of shallow shelf to deep marine terrigenous sediments. Orogenesis has deformed the strata into an...

There are no known major groundwater resources in the Garford area, which borders the Barton and Ooldea Ranges dunefield and Great Victoria Desert southwest of Coober Pedy. The groundwater that is used by graziers for stock watering occurs in...

The potential of applying amino acid racemization to Holocene molluscan samples from the Southern Hemisphere is explored. Samples from shallow vibrocores and from surface of beach ridges were analysed to assess the influence of elevated diagenetic...

This report presents the geological setting and postulated ore controls for the Mount Gunson style of mineralisation, with an expansion on the inferred metal concentration mechanism and its quantitative feasibility. Recommendations for two optimal...

In a search for postulated Tertiary heavy mineral sands marine placer deposits that may have been formed outside of the presently known north-eastern extent of such age sedimentary basins (i.e. along a proto Eucla Basin coastline existing within the...

Between April and August 2009, exploratory drilling was undertaken by Iluka on EL 3233 (94 holes for 5052.5 m along 6 traverses, at a nominal spacing of 800 m to 1 km). 779 samples with a visually estimated grade of >0.5% HM were taken from 76...

Exploration on SML 564 has consisted of a continuation of deep rotary mud open hole, plug and core drilling plus washing-out of existing, older Petromin "P...w" series drillholes to allow new generation downhole geophysical logging, aimed at further...

Deposition of the Early Cambrian Ouldburra Formation, a mixed siliciclastic/carbonate, marine carbonate and evaporite succession, occurred in the shallow marine setting of the Manya Trough. The observed variations between the facies are interpreted...

Detailed geological mapping, rock and soil sample geochemistry, sedimentary petrology, and rotary percussion and diamond drilling were undertaken in the Willouran Ranges, south-west of Marree, to explore for stratiform copper mineralisation,...
