Fifteen grab and drill core samples were assigned an uppermost Middle Eocene or lowermost Late Eocene age (correlated with North Maslin Sand) from a fluvial channel and flood plain backswamp sedimentary environment.

Six drill cuttings samples were assigned an Early Oligocene to Early Miocene age (correlated with Rowland Flat Sands) from a mainly fluvial environment with very weak marine influence (possibly uppermost estuarine).

This report book discusses routine palynological processing techniques used in the extraction of pollen, spores and dinoflagellates from sediments. Processes include ample selection, HF treatment for the removal of mineral matter, HCl treatment for...

The age of the samples from P125/25 and P125/6-2 is Oligocene-Early Miocene (probably Oligocene), P125/6 is probably Tertiary, and P125/27 could be Tertiary to Quaternary in age.

The sample from A68 E427190/53J N7068100 is Early Cretaceous (uppermost Barremian) in age and correlative with the Cadna-owie Formation. Open marine conditions are indicated, this being typical of the upper part of the formation in the southwestern...

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...

The palynofloras from eight drill cuttings samples taken from the depth interval 107-181 m KB in SADME Wilkinson 1 are described and dated. The youngest palynofloras are correlated with the Upper Nothofagidites asperus Zone, and are dated as latest...

Palynological analyses of nine grab samples from the Lochiel coal test pit show two distinct floristic types, i.e. Haloragacidites spp. dominated and Nothofagidites spp. dominated palynofloras. This distinction is interpreted as indicating a change...

Volcanic rocks from the Wirrulla region include dacites, rhyodacites and rhyolites. They comprise both magmatic and pyroclastic types, and are similar to the Gawler Range Volcanics. Sedimentary rocks from the same region include quartz sandstones...

Samples are identified from Late Cretaceous to Early Eocene.

Three grab samples of calcareous concretions were assigned an Early Aptian age.

Three drill cuttings samples were assigned a Late Eocene age.

A sample of carbonaceous mud was assigned a Late Eocene age.

Ten outcrop samples, including carbonaceous muds, siltstone and limestone concretions, were collected as part of a study of Early Cretaceous palaeoclimate. The samples were all of Bulldog Shale from a shallow water marine environment, except for...
