Innamincka no. 1 well was drilled to a depth of 12,638 feet KB and penetrated a sedimentary sequence of Mesozoic and Palaeozoic rocks ranging in age from Cretaceous to ?Devonian. Marine Cretaceous (Albian) carbonaceous mudstones and siltstones were...

Betoota No. 1 Well was drilled to a depth of 9824 feet and penetrated a sedimentary sequence of Cretaceous and Jurassic rocks to 5757 feet before entering steeply dipping red bed conglomerate and sandstone the age of which is uncertain. Marine...

The fossil microfaunal assemblage in the Oodnadatta 1 petroleum wildcat well has been examined as a basis for correlation and possible zonation of the Lower Cretaceous sequence in the South Australian portion of the Great Artesian Basin. 112 samples...

Dullingari 1 to a depth of 2798 metres has intersected a sedimentary sequence of Tertiary, Mesozoic and Permian rocks, the age of the sediments below 2756 metres being at present uncertain. This report presents lithological data and stratigraphic...

After its formation as a single sedimentary entity the Great Artesian Basin provided a marine environment only during the Cretaceous Aptian, Albian and early Cenomanian in South Australia. Santos' Oodnadatta 1 well (1957), continuously cored through...

Sample taken near an ichthyosaur skull west of Marree yielded an agglutinated foraminiferal fauna of Early Cretaceous (Aptian) age. The matrix of whale vertebra from north of Mount Gambier proved to be Gambier Limestone of Oligocene age.

The COPLEY 1:250 000 map area includes the northern Flinders Ranges and the southern part of the Willouran Ranges. It is bounded to the west by the Lake Torrens Sunkland and, to the east, by the Lake Frome Plains. A thick sequence of older Precambrian...

The Frome 1: 250 000 map covers the northern part of the South Australian portion of the Frome Embayment. The embayment is essentially the eastern portion of a Mesozoic basin, developed on Palaeozoic and Precambrian rocks during Upper Jurassic time by...

A sample of restricted-marine shale from a pit dug approximately 16 km northeast of Coober Pedy, towards the southwestern margin of the Great Artesian Basin, contains a microfauna of agglutinated foraminifera including the Aptian zonal species...
