The 24-km-diameter Tertiary Haughton impact structure formed in rocks that contained preexisting liquid hydrocarbons. Biomarker ratios in the hydrocarbons show a consistent pattern of variation in degree of heating across the structure. The heating...

During 1970/71, two large explosions set off at the Ord River Dam building site in Western Australia were recorded on 2000 km long land-based shot recording lines by the BMR and a number of university seismic research groups, and the results were used...

Report presents the basic data and geochronological age interpretations for 89 K-Ar and 64 Rb-Sr isotopic analyses, made on metamorphic, granitic and volcanic rock samples derived from parts of the Musgrave Block visited by SADME geologists between...

Detailed geological and structural mapping of Samin's partly excavated new Burra open cut was performed by the author at a scale of 1:480 during the period December 1972 to end of January 1973. By the latter date the pit had been excavated downwards a...

An absolute age of 677 Ma +/- 12 Ma was determined from analyses of six selected zircon grains separated from the subject volcanic rock sample, but the result is strongly affected by the need to impose large corrections to the data to compensate for...

Gold Hydrogen Ltd is exploring for natural hydrogen over Petroleum Exploration Licence (PEL) 687, which covers large sections of Yorke Peninsula and Kangaroo Island. As a replacement for carbon-based fuels, naturally occurring hydrogen (also known as...

The bulk of the late Archaean volcanic/volcaniclastic rocks from the Gawler Craton range in age from c. 2535 to 2510 Ma (Fanning, Reid and Teale 2007). However, these units were preceded by an older set of volcanics, the c. 2558 calcalkaline volcanics...

Weathered waxy crude oil and black asphaltite (tar) are regularly washed ashore along the coastlines of South Australia and western Victoria. These bitumens generally strand on medium to high-energy, sandy beaches in west or southwest facing bays....

Two additional phases of the drilling program to assess the groundwater resources in the Clare Valley were undertaken during March 1998 at Wendouree (Phase III), and during July 2000 at Wendouree and Watervale Oval (Phase IV). The Phase III program...

A single sample from the Munyarai-1 well, submitted for analysis by MESA, Adelaide. The principle objective was to obtain some constraint on the depositional age of the host unit. 2. Track counts from five grains gave a pooled fission track age of...

Results of a recent groundwater salinity sampling program of the Robinson Lens have revealed that the current procedure of using a bailer to obtain salinity samples yields inaccurate results, and that the salinity in this aquifer may be much higher...
