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...

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...

The CALLABONNA map area includes the southern end of the Strzelecki Desert and the north- eastern Flinders Ranges, between latitudes 29° to 30° S and longitudes 139° 30' to 141° E. Cameron Corner adjoins New South Wales and Queensland in the...

As a B.Sc. Honours project with the Geology Department of the University of Adelaide, which was sponsored by the South Australian Department of Mines and Energy, the author during 1978 carried out geological mapping of a nearly 400 square km area...

An area located along the Marree - Alice Springs Railway in the region of Curdimurka was selected to be explored on the basis of its potential to contain deposits of bedded trona in closed basins, and to have sodium carbonate brines present in near...

PACE drilling collaboration proposal DPY5-03 was formulated to drill test two gravity - (magnetic) anomalies located by 500 m x 500 m spaced gravity data which had been read by Newcrest Operations along the crest of the buried Benagerie Ridge basement...

The PACE Initiative drilling collaboration proposal DPY3-06 was formulated to drill test three gravity - (magnetic) anomalies seen along the buried Benagerie Ridge area of the Curnamona Province of South Australia, on EL 3019 (Quinyambie Station)...

As part of a regional search for buried Olympic Dam - type base metal deposits, Western Mining attempted to test an isolated but sharply defined aeromagnetic anomaly noted just to the east of the southern end of Lake Callabonna. After first acquiring...

Greenfields uranium exploration of Mesozoic and Cainozoic sediments was carried out over an interpreted synclinal feature on Murnpeowie Station, in an area located between the Mount Babbage Block and the Willouran Ranges. The target was possible...

The portion of OEL 12 covered by the geological reconnaissance is approximately 2800 square miles in area. Of this area, about half was examined over the period from 13 October to 1 November 1958 by making fairly close spaced traverses along...

Exploration for sedimentary uranium deposits in Tertiary and Cretaceous sediments lying adjacent to the northern margin of the Flinders Ranges Precambrian basement outcrop, has consisted of rotary drilling (3 holes, total 1375 feet) and gamma ray...
