RB 97/00027 Further palynological dating and correlation of Mesozoic and Tertiary sediments from Eyre Peninsula, SA.
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,...-

RB 96/00002 Palynological dating and correlation of Mesozoic and Tertiary sediments from Eyre Peninsula, SA.
Sediments analysed from VB06 and VB07 are correlative with an early phase of the Garford Formation, either in the Middle Miocene or the Early Miocene. The environment of deposition appears to have been fairly open marine, or at least an estuarine...-
