Documents the contribution of biogenic bioclastic and terrigenous clastic components to Holocene shelf sedimentation to provide framework for assessing Quaternary shelf evolution. Quaternary sea level fluctuations have promoted terrigenous carbonate...

Palynoflora at the type section 5.5 km SW of Mount Dutton and in the adjacent area are correlated with the Cyclosporites hughesii Zone of Aptian age. They indicate that this interval was deposited under freshwater to slightly paralic conditions....

An SA government investigation has been undertaken to determine the extent of groundwater pollution resulting from the waste disposal practices used at the now abandoned Kongorong cheese factory. During the period 1924 to 1971, liquid effluent from...

Modern pollen from extant vegetation was studied to aid in interpreting palaeoenvironments from fossil pollen assemblages. They record evidence of vegetation and climate during the penultimate or last interglacial.

5 spore / pollen zones and 3 dinoflagellate zones are recognised in Toodla 1, ranging from late Jurassic to Late Albian. The Mesozoic units penetrated by this well on palynological evidence are younger than traditionally recognised in other parts of...

A set of drill cores of Murray Group limestones spanning 15 metres contains the large foraminifer Lepidocyclina howchini' Chapman and Crespin indicating that the hole bottomed low in Morgan Limestone. Other foraminifera particularly Astrononion...

18 drill cuttings samples taken from 4 mineral exploration holes were examined for making palynological age determinations. 11 samples were variously identified as being sediments of Middle Miocene freshwater or Early Cretaceous marine facies.

Coongra 1 stratigraphic well, located at Latitude 27º 8´ 15"S, Longitude 134º 8´ 20"E was drilled to 200.20 m total depth in Cretaceous sediments of the south-western Eromanga Basin, in an area of shallow basement. Two drill cuttings samples taken...

Australia is renowned for its eucalypts, which are the outstanding group of Leptospermeae (subfamily Leptospermoideae of Myrtaceae) and of the whole Australian flora. There are over 500 species of eucalypts, nearly all restricted to Australia. They...

From a biostratigraphic study of the distribution of dispersed fossil spores and pollen in the Lower Tertiary sediments of southern Australia, six zonules have been recognised. These have been correlated with the succession of foraminiferal zones in...

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...

Samples are from Late Eocene Buccleuch Beds and Early Permian Cape Jervis Beds.

Two groups of samples from Eyre Peninsula have been analysed. The Elliston samples are correlative with the Polda Formation, probably in the latest Middle Jurassic. The younger Middle Eocene E04-1 sample indicates the presence of Pidinga Formation,...

Six sidewall core samples from the petroleum exploration drillhole McNicol 1 in the onshore part of the Tertiary Gambier Basin have been analysed using palynological techniques. The oldest sample (from 756 m depth KB) has been dated as Maastrichtian...

Analysis of a single wood sample from a silicified low energy, poorly sorted, sandy, fluvial horizon within an apparent palaeovalley on the Gawler Craton is identified as a member of the botanical family Podocarpaceae, with a possible affinity to the...

Metropolitan Adelaide is founded on a wide variety of soils that overlie sediments and rocks. Some of the soils and sediments react to seasonal and human-induced changes in water content with marked changes in volume. The black earths and...

This document contains the environmental objectives relating to seismic exploration activities required to be achieved by any licensee operating in the South Australian part of the Cooper and Eromanga Basins (i.e. any operator). Objectives have been...

Twenty-six sites for water wells to supply isolated homelands and small settlements were selected within the northwest Aboriginal lands of South Australia. Satellite imagery, aerial photography, viewing of the sites from a light aircraft, on-ground...
