Carbonaceous sediments from tin leads in north-eastern Tasmania have yielded well-preserved and diverse pollen and spore assemblages from the deepest of three stratigraphic units sampled. On the basis of the microfloral assemblages, two...

Microfloras from Eocene marine and non-marine sediments, intersected in two deep bores in the Adelaide Plains Basin, can be placed within two distinct assemblage units. The correlative value of these as time-stratigraphic units is discussed.

Three relatively deep bores, drilled recently on the northern Adelaide Plains in the Hundred of Port Gawler, about 20 miles north of Adelaide, have intersected useful complementary sections of the Cainozoic succession, ranging from 560 feet to 1148...

Spore and pollen evidence is presented to biostratigraphically date several samples supplied from north-eastern Tasmania, Cape Barren Island and Flinders Island. The samples from Cape Barren Island and mainland Tasmania are equivalent, and are of...

The East Boolcunda Basin was examined in order to map the Triassic rocks in detail and to assess their coal-bearing potentiality. It was found that these rocks conform to a true basin structure, similar in most respects to the Leigh Creek and...

Aim was 1) to determine whether Permian sediments extended across the northern Muloorina Ridge, and thereby connected the Arckaringa and Pedirka basins; 2) to identify basement high-speed seismic refractor. The well was abandoned in Early Cretaceous...

An Eocene age is determined for one sample from Tarcoola TPS-13R bore, a Pliocene age for a sample from Tarcoola TPS-15 bore, and a Plio-Pleistocene age for a sample from Tarcoola TPS-17 bore. A sample examined from Tarcoola TPS-14 bore contained no...

Well preserved and diverse palynofloras were recovered from 11 of 14 drill cuttings samples. However, considerable contamination and reworking of palynomorphs from older to younger strata restricted attempts at defining a palyno-zonation. The...

Only 2 of 16 grab samples contained palynomorphs. Assemblages indicate that sample S5992 may have come from the upper Oodnadatta Formation and S6003 from either uppermost Oodnadatta Formation or Winton Formation.

Procedures for palynological processing, acetolysis, developing negatives and printing, and making phenol mix for residue bottles, glycerine jelly for slide making, 10% potassium carbonate and zinc bromide.

Presents results from 2 samples from a clay lens in a Monier Golden Grove sand pit. 2 other samples from the leaf bearing beds at Maslin Bay were examined to determine if the fossils from the 2 sites are of similar age and if the host sediments are...

4 shale samples from 1299 metres to 1307 metres are probably late Early Jurassic to early Middle Jurassic age, (?Hutton Sandstone). Carbonaceous shale from 1526 metres produced an Early Permian microflora characteristic of Stage 3, possibly lower...

Study determined usefulness of limestone nodules in palynostratigraphic correlation. Abundant pollen, spores, dinoflagellates and acritarchs were recovered and are adequate for correlation with established assemblage zones.

Late Palaeozoic age is suggested for 1 of 2 samples (mudstones) containing sparse microflora and underlying Cadna-owie Formation.

Palaeosol and organic rich horizons in exposed Bessette Sediments were investigated to determine the nature of Middle Wisconsin climate. Palaeoclimatic implications of palynomorph assemblages are that conditions at 42 000 years ago were at least 30C...

The Cyclosporites hughesii spore / pollen subzone and its correlative Odontochitina operculata dinoflagellate zone have been recognized from Bulldog Shale in Finniss-2, 5 km west of Alberrie Creek railway station. Palynological evidence shows that...

Investigation aimed to evaluate environments of deposition and problems of dating the Cadna-owie Formation and basal Bulldog Shale.

At the Anna Coalfield, the November 1976 appraisal drilling by SADME of 2 rotary mud, partly cored vertical boreholes with a total penetration of 159.62 m (including 28.36 m of continuous ?NQ coring over the coal-bearing section) has confirmed the...

Foraminifera and palynomorphs in boreholes SCC16, SCC19 and SCC21 are consistent with Aptian age and correlate with the lower part of the Marree Formation.
