This study examines in detail, stratigraphy and sedimentology of Skillogalee Dolomite and its lateral variation. Data on facies development and palaeogeography for this area, particularly marine or non-marine interpretation are pertinent to the...

From 1872 to 1949, 60 000 tonnes of brown durable feldspathic sandstone (freestone) were quarried from 4 quarries. Quarry 3 (Ballantyne) was reopened in 1985 to supply 21 tonnes of stone for repair work.

56 whole rock major and trace element geochemical analyses of Adelaidean and Cambrian sedimentary rock drill core samples recovered from 6 diamond drillholes are presented. Many of the samples are carbonate - rich, and their lithologies include...

The Arkaroola and Curdimurka Subgroups of the Callanna Group (late Precambrian) are defined respectively in the Arkaroola and Willouran areas. The Curdimurka Subgroup is the uppermost of these subdivisions; it comprises 4700 m of sediments that were...

Contains summarised geological logs of 93 diamond drillholes and 4 percussion drillholes that were drilled by SADM/SADME and by exploration companies, including the logs of 2 early water bores drilled near Port Pirie. The holes penetrated Cambrian,...

12 sections were measured through the Skillogalee Dolomite, and partly into adjacent Burra Group and Umberatana Group. Skillogalee Dolomite thickness varies from 827 metres in the East Willouran Ranges to 3921 metres near Mt Norwest. Very rapid...

Thirty-five thin sections prepared from stored North Broken Hill drill cores indicate that conglomeratic sandstones classified as Emeroo Subgroup, and red siltstones classified as Callanna Group, could alternatively be lateral equivalents of 1 major...

Basal Umberatana Group glacial tillitic sedimentary sequences and upper Burra Group interglacial arenaceous sediments were explored for possible economic stratabound gold mineralisation in an area located near and to the north of Mintaro, which...

TARGET: Uranium and base metal deposits associated with Early to Middle Proterozoic basement geological structures and rock units in Spencer Gulf coastal areas east and south of Port Broughton. EXPLORATION: Aerial magnetic and radiometric surveys,...

An area surrounding the Emeroo Range, and extending from the vicinity of Port Augusta to 30 km west of Hawker, was explored by Utah for possible economic stratabound base metal deposits which it was thought could be associated with certain favourable...

The PARACHILNA map area (31 to 32°S, 138 to 139.5°E) occupies the central Flinders Ranges which are made up of folded, mostly marine sedimentary Neoproterozoic and Cambrian rocks of the Adelaide Geosyncline, and adjoining plains underlain by Cainozoic...

The extremely thick succession provides one of the most complete sedimentary records for the Late Proterozoic. The term geosyncline is used in a non-genetic sense for the basin in which deposition occurred during the Adelaidean and Cambrian. Only the...

The geological history of the present-day observable rocks that outcrop in the Clare Valley district of South Australia is described in easily understandable language by a SA Government geological mapping expert. His interpretative map depicting the...

The Parachilna 1:250 000 map area is about 250 road miles north of Adelaide, South Australia, and includes the eastern shore of Lake Torrens, the central Flinders Ranges and part of the Lake Frome Plains. The ranges are composed of folded Adelaidean...

Local sedimentary geology, resultant soil types and groundwater availability in the Clare Valley, which extends through the Mid-North region for 90-110 km north of Adelaide, are discussed in the context of suitability for vine-growing and quality wine...

The MARREE mapsheet area includes the south-western portion of the Strzelecki Desert plus parts of the Tirari Desert, north-western Flinders Ranges and north-eastern Willouran Ranges, between latitudes 29 to 30 degrees S and longitudes 138 to 139...

Continuing exploration for possible buried Mount Gunson and Olympic Dam type copper deposits, or other stratabound base metal occurrences within shelfal facies of Adelaidean sediments or in the pre-Adelaidean Wandearah Formation Carpentarian age...

Exploration for Beltana - type stratabound, hydrothermal related base metal deposits in an area situated south-west of Copley consisted of regional, ground and helicopter-assisted geological mapping at 1:4800 scale, photointerpretation of structural...

Ongoing base metal exploration to look for further analogues to the Beltana willemite discovery, carried out over an area located east of the Puttapa Rail Siding, has consisted of semi-detailed 1:4800 scale geological mapping and geochemical stream...
