Synthesis of previous data to provide a stratigraphy of the sites and an attempt to place constraints on the age of units which contain Aboriginal remains. The archaeological remains occur in aeolian sand which forms dunes on the East Bank of the...

Shallow drilling (<30 metres) at 14 sites intersected a regressive coastal sequence of Quaternary bioclastic sediments deposited in coastal aeolian, littoral, lagoonal and evaporative-lagoonal environments. Major calcrete carapaces assist the...

Flint occurs in 4 geological settings in the South-East - beds and dykes in the Gambier Limestone, bouldery conglomerate of the Bridgewater Formation, Holocene surface lag deposits and Holocene beach deposits. Pebbles from beach deposits between Cape...

The proposed marina development site covers a considerable length of cliffs and wave-cut platform over which there is almost continuous rock exposure. It is located within the type section of the Marinoan Series which has been declared a Geological...

Extensive field geological mapping, augmented by petrological and geochemical studies, reinterpretation of company drilling and water-bore logs and a nine-hole drilling programme has detailed the geology of the KINGOONYA area. The stratigraphy spans...

Recent advances in the understanding of the target Cambrian stratigraphy and its palaeogeographic setting, in combination with a realistic mineralization model, have established that the southern Arrowie Basin platform margin could be host to a...

Rare specs of gold were found at an old ochre mine next to the township of Oodla Wirra in remnant Tertiary and Recent alluvial deposits. Gold has also been recovered from a haematite vein in Adelaidean Umberatana Group rocks. Mining and sampling has...

The Adelaide Geosyncline is a deeply subsident Neoproterozoic to Middle Cambrian basin complex in South Australia with a record of at least five major successive rift cycles. Each rift system has its own locus and orientation. Although the rift...

Burra was the largest metalliferous mine in Australia between 1845 and 1860, and employed up to 1,000 men and boys. The workforce was predominantly Cornish, Burra being the first significant concentration of Cornish immigrants in Australia. The...

The Neoproterozoic to Palaeozoic Officer Basin is located on and adjacent to the northwestern margin of the Gawler Craton. Deposition of the basin began in Adelaidean time, before and during the breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia. The...

Aerial photography and satellite imagery, plus an on-ground geological reconnaissance and a transient electromagnetic geophysical survey, were used to select sites for drilling water wells to provide a major expansion of the Pukatja town water supply....

Twenty-six sites for water wells to supply isolated homelands and small settlements were selected within the northwest Aboriginal lands of South Australia. Satellite imagery, aerial photography, viewing of the sites from a light aircraft, on-ground...

The two-day Cooper 99 petroleum symposium organised by PIRSA's Petroleum Group was attended by 160 local and overseas delegates. The prime intent was to announce the release, for competitive tender, of 11 exploration blocks within the soon-to-expire...

This brochure includes a description of the status of the upstream petroleum industry in SA and includes historical highlights, SADME role statement, and basic advice regarding public sector geophysical services and data availability. There is a...

The Cainozoic Eucla Basin has been the focus of recent heavy mineral exploration due to the recognition of Tertiary coastal features including the Ooldea Range. Hypsometric and Landsat data, together with detailed work on the Tertiary stratigraphy of...

This mineral promotional brochure reviews significant historical developments in South Australia's mineral industry and canvasses the currently recognised mineral potential within the State, for the benefit of local and overseas interested companies...

Human and animal footprints are preserved in 2 different settings near Clare Bay. Macropod tracks occur in laminated beach sediment of Late Pleistocene age (c. 110 000 year BP). They are preserved beneath a former prograding coastal fore-dune complex...

Contains a statement of intent inviting PEL applications by 31/5/91 over 4 blocks of vacant onshore petroleum exploration acreage totalling 44 300 square kms in the northeastern Officer Basin of South Australia. Three of the blocks lie wholly within...
